Nancy Drew: The Haunting of Castle Malloy Hints
How do I get across the bog?
1 of 9: The bog is at the lower left side of the grounds, to the left of the crosses.
2 of 9: To get across the bog, you'll need two things: a way to get across the first stream into the bog, and some way to figure out where to go once you're in the bog. You can find what you need in the nursery, after you find the missing gems and put them back in place.
3 of 9: The first step is just to get across the stream. Use the plank here, then you can just walk across it.
4 of 9: Now we come to the more complicated part. The path through the bog changes every time you play, so I can't tell you exactly what moves to make. But don't panic, because there is a pretty easy logic behind it, once you figure out what's going on.
5 of 9: What the piece of paper you found in the secret passage is telling you is that you will ALWAYS see two rocks on top of each other. It's the OTHER rocks that tell you which way to go.
6 of 9: For example, if you see two rocks on top of each other, and on the right side two smaller rocks on top of each other, that means you should turn right twice. (Not turn right, go forward, and turn again; just click on the right side, then click on the right side again.) Here's a picture to show you what I mean:
7 of 9: Once you've done what the rocks told you, stop and look at the new rocks. Don't pay any attention to the rocks in the middle of the move; wait until you've finished doing what the first rocks said.
8 of 9: You'll have to do this over and over, as many as twenty steps. If you're still alive, you're doing it right, so just keep going.
9 of 9: When you get to the hut, ta-dah! You're done, and you'll never have to do that again. Phew!
