The Mystery of the Nautilus Hints
Where can I find replacement bolts?
1 of 9: This is one of the more non-intuitive puzzles in the game, because the bolts are not anywhere that you might expect to find them.
2 of 9: They are, however, located near the beginning of Stage 2.
3 of 9: Both bolts can be found in the Lounge.
4 of 9: You may need to do an extensive "pixel hunt" for each bolt.
5 of 9: One is located near the spiral stairs that go up to the Cartography Room.
6 of 9: Look closely around the base of the spiral stairs for one of the bolts.
7 of 9: Another bolt can be found near one of the sets of chains on the wall.
8 of 9: Look near the chains on the left.
9 of 9: Search carefully around the floor area behind the chains.
