The Watchmaker Hints

How do I get in?

  • 1 of 7: You can't just go in the front door.  You need to find an alternate way into the house.
  • 2 of 7: Perhaps you can get in through the well nearby.
  • 3 of 7: When you try to remove the cover, Raul comes over and tells you you can't. You'll have to wait until Raul's gone before trying the well again.
  • 4 of 7: You can pass time (i.e., progress the game clock) by persuing the glintering object in the pool nearby.
  • 5 of 7: Once Raul's gone, go open the well, and walk down the hallway.
  • 6 of 7: You won't find any doors, but you could probably go through the big hole in the wall.
  • 7 of 7: Just "Use" the pile of rubble, and your character will climb in.  Now, take a look at that machine on the other side of the room.
