Nancy Drew: The Creature of Kapu Cave Hints
How do I get past the guy with the teeth?
1 of 11: You need two things to get past the teeth: a way to move the teeth, and knowledge of how to move them once you CAN move them.
2 of 11: Both of these things will have to come from someone else, ultimately.
3 of 11: To get the teeth moving, look closely at the whole face. Is there something missing?
4 of 11: Click on the face's nose to find that its nostrils are actual holes. Something has to go in there, then (and not nasal spray).
5 of 11: After you finishing analyzing all the plant samples for Dr. Kim, she'll tell you to take something from her bag that will work here. This won't happen till late in the game, so you can forget it for now.
8 of 11: Now that you've seen the chart Frank found, you might think this is dead simple -- just put the teeth in the same order as the teeth on the chart.
9 of 11: And it's almost that simple, but not quite, since the first tooth doesn't have an eel, which is the first picture.
10 of 11: Luckily, though, the first two teeth are the only ones that are weird; the rest of them follow the chart. Arrange the teeth like this:
11 of 11: Top row: Shark - eel - turtle - octopus Bottom row: Porcupine fish - crab - sea urchin - manta ray And if you're really uncertain if you've got the right ones, here's a screenshot:
