The Secrets of Atlantis Hints

How can I get her to let her hair down?

  • 1 of 9: Besides Ms. Hatchet being very strict about such things, Ellen doesn't seem to think that let-down hair is in style right now.
  • 2 of 9: Go find a way to show her different.
  • 3 of 9: See if some of the other women in the building have anything to say about fashion and/or hairstyle.
  • 4 of 9: Try the woman at the Cineworld desk on the 19th floor.
  • 5 of 9: When you talk to her about Ellen, she'll just brush you off with some insulting comment.
  • 6 of 9: Maybe that's because your character doesn't officially know Ellen's name yet. Notice that he refers to her generically in conversation as "this young lady."
  • 7 of 9: Return to the Cineworld desk after officially learning Ellen's name and try talking to the woman there about her again.
  • 8 of 9: It seems that she knows Ellen, and she recommends you take the latest issue of the Cineworld magazine to show her.
  • 9 of 9: Go give Ellen the magazine (by clicking it on her). This will convince her to let her hair down.
