The Secrets of Atlantis Hints
How can I attach the bucket to the well's hook?
1 of 15: It can't just hook on since it's missing its handle.
2 of 15: You'll have to rig up a way to fasten the bucket to the hook.
3 of 15: You could make the bucket a new handle if you had some kind of wire to do it with.
4 of 15: There's none in the village, so try the two trails that lead away from it.
5 of 15: There's a barbwire fence along part of the trail that leads from the village back down to the landing site.
6 of 15: Find the fence near the village end of the trail, then scan it carefully for interactive spots.
7 of 15: You'll find an interactive bit of barbwire on the ground near the right side of the fence, but you can't just take it.
8 of 15: You'll need to cut a piece off of it somehow.
9 of 15: Go back to the village and look for a cutting tool.
10 of 15: Look inside the leftmost house, where Captain Blackwood is (or was).
11 of 15: Carefully examine the dark area to the left of the door.
12 of 15: There's a pair of shears hanging a bit to the right of the open window.
13 of 15: Take them and go use them on the interactive bit of barbwire to cut off a piece.
14 of 15: Combine the bucket and barbwire piece in inventory to give the bucket a handle.
15 of 15: Now you can use the bucket on the well's hook to get it attached.
