The Longest Journey Hints

How can I get back home?

  • 1 of 5: First, you need to find Brian Westhouse.
  • 2 of 5: Once you find him, talk to him and go through all of the options.  Unfortunately, it doesn't sound like he knows a whole lot.
  • 3 of 5: So you might as well leave.
  • 4 of 5: When you do, Westhouse will give you a watch that Cortez (or whatever's he's called) gave him.
  • 5 of 5: If you fix the watch, you will return.
