Timequest Hints
How do I get Queen Elizabeth and Drake to meet?
1 of 19: Elizabeth will have to meet Drake in the left bedroom, since Vettenmyer told Drake to go there.
2 of 19: You'll have to know something about history to get through this one.
3 of 19: Read your briefing papers to learn as much as you can about Elizabeth.
4 of 19: The important thing here is to know why she's at war with Spain.
5 of 19: She hates the Catholic Church, doesn't she?
6 of 19: You have to visit Rome, 1519 AD, to finish this puzzle.
7 of 19: You'll need the plaque from that timeplace.
8 of 19: Read what the plaque says.
9 of 19: You wouldn't expect Elizabeth to stay in a room blessed by the Catholic Church, would you?
10 of 19: Try showing her the plaque.
11 of 19: Notice she says something like "if it were here before I was..."
12 of 19: So why not go back in time and leave it for her?
13 of 19: You should go to Dover, 1519 AD.
14 of 19: You can't leave the plaque out in plain sight.
15 of 19: Look! A warped floorboard!
16 of 19: And a place to put things underneath!
17 of 19: Why not remove the floorboard and put the plaque in the cache?
18 of 19: You'll have to put the board back, or it will be nailed back in place.
19 of 19: Then, you can return to 1588 and show Elizabeth the plaque.
