Nancy Drew: The Creature of Kapu Cave Hints
How do I tell what these plants are?
1 of 10: This is going to be interesting. Read to the end of this hint for a list of the plants that go with each frass jar.
2 of 10: While you're collecting frass bags, look at least once at one of the plants above the funnel. Nancy should say something like "What kind of plant is this?" (If she doesn't, you need to read all the pages on the clipboard.)
3 of 10: Once you've done this, what next? What you need here is either a traveling botanist or a book about Hawaiian plants.
4 of 10: Neither of which you have. But someone else might; check Nancy's journal to see if she has any ideas.
5 of 10: Ned isn't much help here (and I'll leave you to draw your own conclusions about that), but how about Joe and Frank?
6 of 10: Call Frank and ask him for help, and you'll switch over to him. Now that you're Frank, how do you find about plants? Look around Mike's office and see what resources you have.
7 of 10: There's that cool information machine in the office; it has an entry on "Hawaiian Plants" that looks like it would do the job. As soon as you have a Big Island buck to spare, that is.
8 of 10: Once you have the entry open, look at all the pictures. This would be a great place to save your game, so you can come back here and look at the pictures again and again without having to spend a BI buck every time.
9 of 10: As soon as you've finished looking at all the pictures, leave the office and call Nancy right away to get Frank to reel off a quick description of all the plants to her. If you want to go back to being Frank again, just have Nancy call him right back.
10 of 10: Here are the plants that go with each frass jar:
