The Mystery of the Nautilus Hints
Where can I find a metal ball?
1 of 5: Look around the Diving Gear Chamber.
2 of 5: It's a small metal ball, so you'll need to look carefully.
3 of 5: Focus low-down in the room.
4 of 5: Go back to the door, which leads to the decompression chamber. While looking at the door, the area to search is to your right.
5 of 5: Look on the bottom shelf (at floor level), just to the right of the boots. The metal ball is up against another piece of diving equipment and may be difficult to see. (For help in picking up and using inventory items see: Inventory.)
