Chapter Three: The Secret Passage

Hotel Lobby

  • Zero in on the table and take the POT OF MILK, then the PAGE, noting the instruction to heat it in order to read the invisible content. 
  • Zoom in on the cabinet in the background to take the CANFLE WAX 2/3.
  • Exit through the doorway.
     

Corridor

  • Note the cabinet on the right with the CHAIR LEG waiting for you to appropriate – you never know when you might come across a broken chair that needs mending. Oh, wait! There’s one on the other side of the room – lucky chair!
  • Put the CHAIR LEG in place and use the TAPE to effect a very flimsy repair job, and while there, take the SNAKE EYE resting on the curtain next to it.
  • Glance down at the carpet , say hi to the mouse with a pat, and pick up the PIECE OF YARN.
  • Next, take a closer look at the picture to the right and touch it.
  • Finally, zoom in on the candleholder up high on the left and take the CANDLE WAX 3/3.
  • Return the hotel foyer.
     

Snake

  • Zoom in on the snake-shaped fireplace and place the FIREWOOD  in its mouth.
  • Next take the SNAKE-EYE and insert it into the appropriate socket on the head, at which point the snake will literally fire up.
  • Take the ladle hanging on the wall and place it in the fire, then take the three lots of CANDLE WAX and melt them inside the ladle.
  • Click on the box hanging against the wall, open it, and insert the PIECE OF YARN into it.
  • Click on the box to close it and stand it up, then click on the ladle to pour the melted wax inside the box.
  • Open the box and take the newly formed CANDLE, then place it in the fire to turn it into a LIT CANDLE.
  • Exit back to the view of the foyer.
     

Foyer

  • Zoom into the bench to the right and place the LIT CANDLE inside the lamp on the desk.
  • Use the heat from the lamp to highlight the hidden message written on the BOOK PAGE.
  • Exit back through to the corridor.
     

Corridor

  • Noting the symbols on the BOOK PAGE, approach the door to the left and use the key to enter in.
     

Isa

  • Zoom into the satchel on the right and take the book inside, as well as the VOLCANIC ASH. 
  • Take a closer look at the pillows to the left, underneath you’ll find the LOCK PART for the cabinet at the back of the room.
  • Put the part in place and open the cabinet to reveal the next HOA puzzle.
     

Cabinet Hidden Object Area

  • Acquire the items circled in red, and note that the objects circled in yellow require multiple moves.
  • Note that the upper and lower doors will need to be open or closed at need to find certain items.
  • When finished, take the  SHIELD. Watch the following scene play out as the invisibility potion wears off and Isa comes into  the room.
  • An apparently contrite Isa will end up by giving you a PUZZLE PART.
  • Pull the lion rug away from the floor, open the trap door underneath, and exit down into the passage below.
     

Passage

  • Note the basket hanging in the darkness to the left.
  • Place the LINIMOUS FUNGI SPORES and the VOLCANIC ASH inside – wow!  What a great way to save on power! AND when you get hungry, you can eat the light source as well! 
  • Take the SWORD from the skeletal figure lying front of you, then click on the glowing area behind the basket to initiate the next HOA puzzle.
     

Cave Hidden Object Area

  • Use the lighter up on the right to light the lamp hanging from the ceiling in the center of the room.
  • Use the sword lying to the right to crack open the vase over to the left – take the lyre inside.
  • Pick up the other items circled in red on the screenshot.
  • When complete, take the COPPER KNIFE.
     

Knight Puzzle

  • Zero in on the two armored figures in the background. 
  • Place the SHIELD and SWORD on the knights, then orientate the two figures to match the picture in the journal, noting the five swivel points on each figure.
  • Use the screenshot for guidance.
  • When complete, go through the doorway.
