Nancy Drew 23: Shadow at the Water's Edge Hints
How do I get the star keycard?
1 of 5: The star keycard is currently in the possession of the ryokan's maintenance guy. That's Rentaro, in case it wasn't clear.
2 of 5: He doesn't leave the card around at night. The only time you can get it is when he suddenly leaves the hut in the middle of the day.
3 of 5: Have you found the missing tile in the bathroom yet?
4 of 5: When you replace the tile, you see Rentaro and Miwako having a furious argument. (In English, strangely.) The next time you talk to Rentaro, he says she's really mad, and he asks you to get something for him to make it up to her. You can get it by playing pachinko.
