Nancy Drew 26: Tomb of the Lost Queen Hints
How can I light the burial chamber now?
1 of 9: Well, the flashlight is a washout. It's dead, and if you try to use the recharger in the antiquities tent, you'll find that it's dead too. We need another light source.

5 of 9: There's a lighter, a chrome Zippo number, in Jon's trunk; you may have picked it up when you were looking for his notes.
6 of 9: And if you go get a drink of water from the water truck, you'll now find a bottle of lamp oil on the right. Pour the oil into the lamp, then use the lighter on it. And like magic --

8 of 9: Each mirror can be turned to tilt one of two ways. When you tilt one mirror, other mirrors appear and disappear, so experiment.
9 of 9: Any combination of mirrors that gets the light to the end is the right one, but here's what worked for me.
