The Mystery of the Nautilus Hints
How do I unlock the door on the right side of the room?
1 of 12: The door is linked to a pressure plate that locks and unlocks it.
2 of 12: The pressure plate is in the floor.
3 of 12: When you stand on the pressure plate, the door will be unlocked.
4 of 12: But you can't stand there and also go through the door.
5 of 12: Yet when you move away, the door locks again.
6 of 12: You'll need to find some other way to keep the pressure plate down while you open the door.
7 of 12: What else might you use to put weight on the plate?
8 of 12: That giant shell looks pretty heavy.
9 of 12: Move it onto the pressure plate.
10 of 12: It's still not heavy enough, though.
11 of 12: Perhaps the map of the world will add enough weight.
12 of 12: When both of those have been placed on the plate, you can open the door to the Grand Corridor.
