Nancy Drew and the Secret of Shadow Ranch Hints
Yes, but which pictures go where?
1 of 7: Pick a petroglyph on an easily spotted feature of the landscape and mark that one.
2 of 7: Look at the map. See that little spire of rock in the middle with a petroglyph right on it?
3 of 7: Find that petroglyph by going forward, forward, left, then clicking on the little spire of rock. It looks like a grasshopper standing on its hind legs, doesn't it?
4 of 7: Put that one on the map, in the empty box on the little spire at the bottom.
5 of 7: Now place the others by seeing where they are in relation to the one you have.
6 of 7: The only two that are really difficult are on the ledge above, where they look one way on the rock and another on the map. In that case, the one that looks like a squashed spider goes on top, and the hand is under it.
7 of 7: In any case, you can't finish this puzzle today anyway, so do the best you can but don't stress about it too much.
