The Watchmaker Hints
How do I get into the supervisor's apartment?
1 of 14: Since it's locked, you need someone to let you in.
2 of 14: Wait until Jude's retired to the apartment, and work from there.
3 of 14: Have you taken a look at the book she left in the chair by the pool?
4 of 14: Pick up the book and examine it. A pamphlet about bleeding roses will fall out.
5 of 14: Perhaps you can use this information to scare her.
6 of 14: To do this, you'll need some blood, and a rose.
7 of 14: The blood is sitting in the secret laboratory.
8 of 14: It's in the metal box. You have to push the red button to open it, then pick up the blood.
9 of 14: The rose will show up on a tray in the dining room. If it hasn't, come back later.
10 of 14: You may run into a bug impeding the tray from appearing. If the game clock says 5:15, try walking in and out of the dining room through all possible entrances. You should trigger a cut scene between your character and the supervisor, and the tea tray will appear.
11 of 14: Now, use the blood on the rose. You have to be Darrel to do this.
12 of 14: Then, (still as Darrel), go talk to Jude. She'll give you the necklace and fall asleep.
13 of 14: You can now enter the apartment at your leisure.
14 of 14: You'll probably want to enter the apartment and open his safe.
