Nancy Drew 27: The Deadly Device Hints

There's someone here. How do I get this person to leave?

  • 1 of 6: Near the end of the game, after you follow up on the sound of shredding in Security --
  • 2 of 6: -- you'll suddenly hear a voice on the PA system announcing a security breach in the Tesla coil lab. Yikes!
  • 3 of 6: After you deal with that, Victor will suddenly appear and ensconce himself in Niko's office for the rest of the game. Bleah!
  • 4 of 6: And when he ensconces himself, he does a good job at it. He never leaves the desk, day or night, and he won't let you touch anything in the place.
  • 5 of 6: So if you want to do anything in Niko's office after that, you'll need to distract him. His cell phone is set to voicemail, so the phone is no help. Maybe someone else can help you here.
  • 6 of 6: The one you want for this is Ryan. Her evil little ploy will get Victor out of the office for a good five or ten minutes, and you can repeat it as often as you want.
