Nancy Drew 26: Tomb of the Lost Queen Hints

What is there to find in the antiquities tent?

  • 1 of 8: There's a lot of stuff in the antiquities tent, much of it quite useful. It's a good idea to take everything you can from here before you venture into the tomb, though it's not required; you can always come back for it when you discover you need it.
  • 2 of 8: On the right table, you'll find the shattered pieces of a green amulet --
  • 3 of 8: -- a pick and a brush, which you should take --
  • 4 of 8: -- and a box, a pile of amulets, a list of the amulets (you don't need to memorize this list, by the way), all next to the world's ugliest tie.
  • 5 of 8: On the shelves at the end of the room, look for a red binder to find one map of the tomb.
  • 6 of 8: On the left table, you'll find a rechargeable flashlight (which you should take) and a pair of gloves (which I desperately wanted to take, but you can't) --
  • 7 of 8: -- a map that you should take, and which Nancy will update for you as you discover new places --
  • 8 of 8: -- and at the far right, a plaque with a bird on it (which you should take), a book on "Ancient Egyptian Art" (labeled "Relic" in your inventory), a crumpled flyer for an organization called S.P.I.E.D. (you can't take it, but you should take a picture of it), and a cracked clay tile with hieroglyphics on it (which you can translate if you want).
