Nancy Drew 11: Curse of Blackmoor Manor Hints

How do I open this door with the devil and the triangles?

  • 1 of 10: This one is tricky, so make sure you read all the way to the end of this hint. If you're playing the DVD version, the puzzle works like this:
  • 2 of 10: Click on the triangles to see more triangles, some pointing up and some pointing down.
  • 3 of 10: Since the triangles on the outside were pointing up (the symbol for fire), let's do these the same way. Click on the ones that point down to change them so they point up.
  • 4 of 10: This makes some others point down; click on them to make them point up too. When all the triangles you can see are pointing up --
  • 5 of 10: -- nothing happens. What now?
  • 6 of 10: Did you notice that the devil on the outside of the puzzle was only half a devil? Where's the rest of the devil?
  • 7 of 10: The rest of the devil is on the other side of the wall, and so is the rest of the puzzle. To get there, you need to find the *other* secret passageway. And you can find it via the other secret passageway.
  • 8 of 10: If that still didn't solve the puzzle for you, that's because when you clicked on the triangles on the other half of the door, they flipped some of the triangles on this half, so they're not all facing the right way any more.
  • 9 of 10: Come back to this half of the door (via the dragon door) and turn all the triangles up again, and you're through.
  • 10 of 10: To recap: Go in through the dragon door and turn the triangles up. Go in through the gargoyle door and turn the triangles up. Go back through the dragon door and turn the triangles up again.
