The Watchmaker Hints
How do I get into the tower?
1 of 8: Notice the cracked plaster on one side of the tower.
2 of 8: Perhaps you can remove it.
3 of 8: The best way to accomplish this is with a chisel. You can find this tool somewhere else in the game.
4 of 8: In particular, you'll find it on a shelf in the caretaker's house. Just pick it up and use it on the plaster. You'll reveal a clock face with a little keyhole. Now, you just need the key.
5 of 8: Unfortunately, you won't find it in the cook's keys. You need to find the key somewhere else in the castle.
6 of 8: Perhaps you can borrow another clock key.
7 of 8: One that's sitting near another clock.
8 of 8: Get the key sitting by the clock in the dining room, and use it on the clock in the tower. Walk in the door that opens.
