Sinking Island Hints
How can I open the locked drawers in Walter's desk?
1 of 7: The drawers are locked and no keyhole is present.
2 of 7: This implies that you're not going to be able to get into them from the front.
3 of 7: However, since the drawers face the person sitting BEHIND the desk, wouldn't their backs be visible to those sitting at the other side?
4 of 7: You can actually get a closer look at that part of the desk on the opposite side, the lower left front corner.
5 of 7: Zoom in on it, and you will notice four screws in the back of the desk.
7 of 7: Use the screwdriver to remove the four screws, then four more in the layer underneath, and you will be able to open the lower two drawers of the desk from the rear.
