Nancy Drew 24: The Captive Curse Hints

How do I follow up on Renate's map?

  • 1 of 6: Once you've opened the box at the bottom of Renate's bag --
  • 2 of 6: -- Nancy makes a comment about the map. She says it shows a dungeon in the castle, and it looks like the entrance is from the glass room. But where?
  • 3 of 6: Did you look inside the glass furnace yet?
  • 4 of 6: There's an odd red lever near the bottom, but it's too hot to touch, obviously. You need some sort of fire-proof tool.
  • 5 of 6: Turn your back on the furnace to see the worktable, and there are tools all over it. Take them all, but the one you need here is the tongs.
  • 6 of 6: So open the door (safely!), then use the tongs to flip the red lever in the furnace.
