The Secrets of Atlantis Hints

How can I figure out which of the password choices I'm supposed to choose?

  • 1 of 15: That's where your purloined password paper comes in handy.
  • 2 of 15: Examine the list of words it gives you.
  • 3 of 15: The words come in three sets, just like the sets of choices Li Tang gives you when you're trying to tell him the password.
  • 4 of 15: The first set has to do with the four seasons, the second set has to do with the phases of the moon, and the third set has to do with the day of the week.
  • 5 of 15: Maybe the current season, moon phase, and day are what you need to choose.
  • 6 of 15: Look around to see if you can find a calendar.
  • 7 of 15: There's one on the wall just to the left of the betting window.
  • 8 of 15: Click on it to learn that it's Saturday, April 10.
  • 9 of 15: Checking the password list you got, you'll see that the third part of the password is "ace," since the word ace goes with Saturday.
  • 10 of 15: As for the password's first part, it'll be the word that goes with the season that the month of April is in.
  • 11 of 15: April is a spring month, so the first password part is "tiger."
  • 12 of 15: As for the phase of the moon, look closely at the calendar page.
  • 13 of 15: It's hard to see, but it has a moon drawing that shows a sliver of a moon.
  • 14 of 15: Since the sliver is on the right side of the moon drawing, it probably represents the last-quarter phase.
  • 15 of 15: So the second part of the password sequence is "pair," since that's what's listed next to "last quarter" on the password list.
