Nancy Drew: Curse of Blackmoor Manor

by Her Interactive

Walkthrough by MaGtRo October 2004

Gameplay: The main menu has new game, load & save game, continue game, second chance, game setup, credits, help, more Nancy Drew and exit game. The Game setup has the voice, music, special effects volume, closed captioning and auto move. The help menu explains about cell phone, notebook, tool box, exit, saving-loading games, second chances, hints and more information.

The gameplay is the same for junior and senior mode. In junior mode, Loulou gives suggestions as to what to do, has a checklist and the game puzzles are easier.

In New Game, the game setup explains the game manipulation and how to go about gameplay. There are unlimited saves but only 32 slots are seen on load.

The game is mostly non linear and you can play the puzzles as you see them or later.

NOTE: The sequence in this walkthrough is based on following the dialogue clues given by different characters and arranged by relevant puzzles. There might be actions that can be done earlier but found later in the walkthrough. If you don't meet some of the characters, set the alarm beside Nancy's bed for next day and look for them.

Nancy is on her way to Blackmoor Manor to check up on Linda Penvellyn, the daughter of Nancy's neighbor. Linda, newlywed to Hugh has fallen ill since she came to live in the Manor.

Nancy is dropped off at Blackmoor Manor. Someone whispers Nancy's name. After knocking on the door, a growl is heard and burning red eyes is seen. Mrs. Drake greets Nancy and tells that your room is the one with the moon on the door. Linda is not quite ready to see Nancy. Mrs. Drake says to see her in the conservatory after settling down in your room.

Nancy's bedroom: Read the game journal for information. Use the cell phone. The speed dial under the directory has home, Ned and Mrs. Petrov listed. Call Ned and Mrs. Petrov. Click on web and check all your e-mails. Use the cell phone again, click on web, internet browser and do a search. Learn the connection about witchcraft and Blackmoor Manor.

Nancy's suitcase is at right of the fireplace and left of the window seat. Look close at the moon column at the base of the window seat. Look close at the crest above the fireplace. Pan left and look at the gold book on the left side of the mantle - Grenny and the Water Fairy by John Penvellyn 1937. Read the book about a frog named Grenny and the red key the princess gave to the water fairy. Look at the note tucked in one of the pages - it showed the 4 elements symbol, water, earth, fire and air.

Look at the square box on the chair - we need more info on this. Check the eternal play balls on top of the bookcase. A mural of Helios (Apollo), riding the fiery chariot pulled by 4 horses covers the wall left of the door. The phone (cook and Hugh) and the alarm clock are on the table left of the bed. The lamp switch is on the wall beside the lamp. There's a tripod by the window.

There's a constellation chart behind the green stellar picture between the windows. Use the web search again and read 'Why the stars seem to move'. Learn about the solstices: Solstitium and Bruma; and about the equinoxes: Aequinoctium Vernum and Autumnalis. Press the circle at bottom left to see the star map. Press the blue circles and the text to see the different star maps.

Time meet to Mrs. Drake in the conservatory. Exit the room and look left to see moon signs framing your bedroom. A gorgeous stained glass window is at the end of the hall. Go forward down the hall and listen through the next door and hear a girl and a woman talking.

There's an alcove on the left with stairs that sing going up. NOTE: Don't go up or solve the puzzle up there yet or you will not see Mrs. Drake in the observatory or Nigel in the library today.

Meeting the characters

Jane's Bedroom: Knock on door right of the alcove where the child's voice came from. Jane, Linda's stepdaughter says 'to come back later please'. Look close at the red button on the right of the door. It needs a key.

We better not keep Mrs. Drake waiting and look for the conservatory. Go down the hall and look close at the gargoyle at the corner. Turn the corner and hear an angry woman. Go down the stairs and turn left.

Conservatory: Enter through the metal door on the left wall of the foyer and down the metal stairs. Look around. Look close at the plaque of outstanding achievement given to John Penvellyn on the urn pedestal. Look close at the drain and then the water sprayer on the empty frog fountain.

Turn left, forward, right and see several potting tables. (Note: If you picked up the key from the noisy stairs, you will not see Mrs. Drake and have to wait for later in that day or the next day by setting the alarm clock.) Talk to Mrs. Drake. Learn about Nigel Mookerjee, researcher and Ethel Bosinny, Jane's tutor. Learn about Linda, to order food from a local restaurant and water in well. She talks about Loulou and proper food for the parrot. Look close at the potting table on the left. Look close at Leticia Drake's allergy medicine and learn the effects on her.

Library: Exit the conservatory and go across the Great Hall to the door across the room. You might or might not see Nigel depending on who you talked to before this. If you don't see him, set the alarm to talk to him the next day. But if you do, talk to Nigel Mookerjee, the man typing on his computer. Learn about the Penvellyn scandalous history and family treasure. Elinor Penvellyn is the family member tried for witchcraft. Chimes heard in the manor. Learn about the Blackmoor beast and the portraits at the Great Hall. Look close at the statue in front of Nigel's desk and learned how Elinor was adopted. Go to next room and look close at the books. Nigel will give an ongoing commentary about the Penvellyn ancestors. Look close at the desktop computer. Alan Penvellyn is learned in computers. It needs a password. Exit the library. Check the cell phone browser and look up the Beast of Blackmoor.

Loulou and East Hall: Go back upstairs, turn right, go down the hall and see a door with a flowered plate - Mrs. Drake's room. Go to the corner and hear a ghostly sound. Take off the cover and see a parrot in a cage. Meet and talk to Loulou. Loulou is a great source of information! Turn right and see a door with a big crest on it. We need a key to open that door.

Linda's bedroom: Knock on the door left of the stairs. Enter and see a darkened room. Look around and see draped furniture, pictures on the wall and a table with mirror, cell phone and lotion. The curtain on the bed is pulled. Click on the curtains and talk to Linda. Doors that should not never be opened.... Jane, Linda's stepdaughter wants to come in to meet Nancy but was refused. Leave the room.

Jane's room: Turn right from Linda's room and talk to Jane now that her study time is done. Note: If you do this later or after the library, Jane will be sleeping by then and have to wait the next day for the opportunity. Jane's is free after her study time that ends at 2PM. Enter the room and turn left to see Jane in bed.

Matching game - She wants to play a game. The first game is a matching game using Brigitte's cards, the one with the telescope in her portrait. Jane wants you to do better than her 40 (junior) or 25 (senior) tries. The aim of the puzzle is to flip open duplicate cards until all the cards are opened.

Open 2 cards at a time. Once you see a card that is a duplicate of one you have seen. Click on both to keep them open. You can write the cards down on a paper to help you. That's not cheating.

Talk to Jane after winning the first game and find out about the lady in black that left a note in Linda's room. That is when she started feeling poorly. Talk to her again and find out that the lady in black resembles Elinor. Play games with her again using games from the chest or just skip that dialogue. Talk to Jane again about animal, treasure and password.

Skull and Bones game - She will tell you the password of the computer if you beat her in skull and bones games. You don't need to play this game for the password. Find out for yourself by looking at the words under Arthur's crest at the Great Hall. Arthur is the second from the last (next to Hugh).

Skull and bones game's aim is to accumulate 3 of a kind card. The cards shown are yours. Click on a card and ask if Jane has them. Remember the cards Jane asks for and ask for them when you have them. This is practice for another card game at the Great Hall.

Go to the window seat right of the bed and see a paper. Click on the Penvellyn Family Tree and ask Jane about allof her ancestors (red colored ones) - 4 pages long. Jane does know about her family. If she wants to rest - look around and continue the ancestor inquiry or you can continue asking her.

Look in the bookcase and read the Introduction to Runes. Click and read the Monsters (note: lycanthropy) book that Nigel gave to Jane. Go to the small kitchenette right of the bookcase. Jane makes cake for Loulou here.

Look at the picture of Jane's real mum, an opera singer in Paris on the dresser.

Mutus Liber - Study the book on the left given by Ethel, it belonged to Jane's grandfather. There are several very interesting pages in this book. Take note of the cover picture with tree, planetary signs and the 4 elements at the bottom. There's one with 6 columns-circles with planetary symbols and a dragon at the center. There's one with 12 drawings in a sort of handle and the right page shows it being placed in a fire.

Tapestry - Pan to the corner and read the words of Charles Penvellyn on a tapestry.

Turn right of door to Jane's desk. Look at Brady Armstrong poster on the wall, guinea pig picture and at Jane's assignment for the month. Wow! Click on the teeth! <grin> Play another game with Jane. She'll tell you to select one from the chest. Have fun on whatever you select. I recommend the puzzle. You can play any game anytime. Exit the room.

Go outside somewhere in the corridor and the cell phone rings. Talk to Mrs. Petrov, Linda's mother about everything.

Looking Around

Nancy's Room: Go back to your room and use the phone to call the cook. Talk to Tommy and order any food you care for. You can try all by ordering them and have a fun time eating and reordering another - Loop de loop; bangers and mash; pinky and perky or dogs eye. I highly recommend Pinky and Perky. Say 'okay' to Uncle Fred and Johnnie Rutter. Do a web search using the cell phone about Cockney rhyming slang. Rutter is butter.

Main hallway: Enter the door at right of clock. Turn left and look at the Cricket trophy of Brigitte Penvellyn. Go to middle of hall and read the note tacked on the do or of the kitchen. Fire, eh?

Conservatory: If Mrs. Drake is around, talk about Cockney, book and Alan. Check the giant carnivorous plant by the glass wall. Click once on the carnivorous plant. Don't click on the carnivorous plant again or you'll end up... - well find out and do a second chance.

Once outside, do a web search on Cockney rhyming slang. Learn that Rutter is butter.

Nancy's room: Go back to your room and eat the food ordered from Tommy. Loop de loop is soup. Pinky and perky is turkey. Dog eye is pot pie. Johnny Rutter is butter. Take the butter (taken only after key is tried on Jane's room's keyhole). If you ordered Pinky and Perky, a slice of turkey is taken.

Venus flytrap at the Conservatory: If Mrs. Drake is not around, continue around the potting tables and see a letter under a Venus flytrap. Try taking the letter - Guess we need to feed it first. Feed the turkey from Pinky and Perky meal to the Venus flytrap. Take and read the solicitors letter about the 6 months habitation clause.

The hour correlated word to enter is glass. The next word is ant - enter hill. Sound of door unlocking.

East gargoyle door puzzle: Enter the door and at the end, move the cursor to a partly hidden gargoyle on the right. Look at the panel above the gargoyle. It has an upright triangle similar to the fire element sign on the paper in Grenny's book. Click on it to see 6 triangles with fire depicted on the side. Arrange them to be similar to the fire element triangle - upright triangle. Nancy noted that the rest of the grid is on the other side of the wall. Let's look for the other side of this panel. It should be in another passageway.

Go upstairs and meet Ethel at the hall door. Talk to her about the silent book.

Investigate the West Hall secret passageway:

Linda's room: Enter Linda's room and tell her about the passageway. Gargoyle... Oh, she's talking about a different passageway, one connected to the gargoyle around the corner.

Great Hall: Exit the room and look at the gargoyle in the corner. There's got to be an easier way to figure this out. Let's look for clues. Remember when we looked at the ancestral portraits, there was one with a gargoyle in the background. It's the one on the wall opposite the library door and between the Mercury and Moon column. Look at the portrait and notice it has no crest below it.

Library: Go to the library and talk to Nigel. The ancestor with the gargoyle is Corbin, grandson of Elinor. Nigel will help you if you type his memoirs only after a typing test.

Typing Test: Type up the letters that come up the screen as fast as you can. The letters disappear and replaced with new ones. Note that some letters comes up twice and that increases the score. Junior mode has less minimum letters/min (20) than the senior mode (30).

Hint by GameBoomers - Just hit the keys randomly with no particular attention to lower and upper case. This will get a higher score.

Afterwards, Nancy types up a boring memoir. Take the note and the Corbin's coat of arms that Nigel left on the table.

Ritual: Leave the library and see Ethel and Jane do a ritual with pouring something in a hole on the floor at center of the Great Hall. Go to hole and click on it - smells like oil. No key without toil, no fire without oil.

West Hall gargoyle puzzle: Go back to the gargoyle. Study Corbin's coat of arms in inventory and see the number of comets on the right and left of the crest. Let's try it - turn: 2xs right arrow, 1 left arrow, 1 right arrow, 2xs left arrow and 1 right arrow. A secret passage opens on the right. Need another glowstick. If it's too late and Jane is asleep, set the alarm for 2 PM.

Linda's room: Talk to Linda. Library: Talk Nigel. Talk about being famous, runes, Ethel.

Jane's room: Go to Jane's room and play another Petroglyph Punch to get another glowstick. She denies knowing about the ritual that morning.

West Hall secret passage - Open the secret passage by clicking 2R, 1L, 1R, 2L, 1R on the gargoyle. Enter, go forward 1-2 times and turn right to a beetle like wall panel on the wall. Click on the circle and look through the peephole. Oh golly gee, wow! Her hand is hairy and has claws.

Proceed to the eye panel at the end of the passage. It looks like the eye at the West Hall passage. Click on the eye and see the Rune puzzle.

Rune puzzle: Look at the sign above the eye and Nancy will read the curse. So that's what caused Linda's fear. The curse was referring to Elinor.

Back up 3 times from rune puzzle, turn around and go to Jane's room. In Jane's room, look at the Rune paper on the bookcase and note down the runes that spells Elinor.

Go back to rune puzzle and enter ELINOR in runic on the eye door.

Chimes, peephole and hands: Enter, forward down 2 levels and the path goes right and left. The right ends on an ornate door with a knight holding a sword inside. The fingers are clickable. Elinor's security system? Look up and click on the nose of the knight and see the library and mercury statue. No info to help us here yet.

West gargoyle door puzzle: Back up 2xs and turn around to go forward to the split in the path. Continue down the stairs to the bottom level. Go right, forward, see a gargoyle on the wall, left, until the end and see the other half of the wall seen at the bottom level of the East Hall green dragon passage. Look close at the panel above. It has the other half of the fire sign plate. Turn all triangles right side up to signify the fire sign triangle. Hmmm. Nothing happened.

Let's see what happened to the other side of this panel - go to the green dragon passage now. Back up 2xs and turn around. Go up, follow the stairs at right on second level (forward goes to the knight) and out. You might or might not need another glowstick.

Finding the Alchemy Laboratory

East Hall secret passage: Go to East Hall passage. Turn the green dragon's hands. Go down to the lowest level to the East gargoyle door puzzle. Arrange again the triangles to the fire symbol (upright triangles). The door opens for junior mode. For senior mode - go back to west gargoyle puzzle and redo it. Hear a click sound and door opens.

Enter. Go forward to a door with a small metal compartment at right side. Open the compartment and get a glowing stone. Guess, I won't be needing Jane's glowstick anymore.

Turn around again. Click to open Mars door and see a wall. Do not enter. Turn around.

Turn around again. Click to open Mars door and see a room. Do not enter. Turn around. Check map and see that it is across the angel square.

Go forward to the Mercury door, click and enter.

Alchemy Door - See the familiar eye on the wall. Click the eye panel and see another puzzle with elements on the left, pot at bottom and tubings to connect them. Click on the snake symbol at top center. Nancy should say 'knowing what the snake means should help knowing what the others mean'. We have to go back out of the maze. <groan>

Turn around and open the door.

See a Mars door. Open the Mars door, do not enter, turn around.

Turn around, open the Mars door, do not enter and turn around.

Then go forward to the Mercury door and exit the maze. Remember this short cut.

Library: Talk to Nigel at the library about Ethel and the snake-ouroboros.

The secret of the Manor - Alchemy Laboratory

Go back to the alchemy door. Go to either the East Hall or West Hall secret passage and through the moving rooms. Enter the moving rooms and 'click but do not enter' twice on Mars door. Turn around and exit the Mercury door. Go forward to the Alchemy lab.

Alchemy lab door puzzle:

See the chemicals and processes symbol at top left, the pot at middle bottom to combine them and the symbol result at bottom right. Above the result is a set of lights to show if they are correct or not.

Alchemy laboratory: Look around and see a giant warrior statue at right.

Work table: Pan left and read the Albert Penvellyn notated parchment on shelf above the work table. On the work table is a greeting from Penelope Penvellyn and reference to lighting the athanor using earth in liquid form, air, water and fire. This is in reference to The Mutus Liber that was seen on the dresser at Jane's room. Read the Aeolus book and learn about the need for air in the forge.

Journal of the ancestors: Read the book above the Aeolus book and see folded papers that show maps.

Read what Charles says about the 6 columns at the Great Hall. The first key is at Jane's door and the clue is the tapestry.

Read the words of Thomas, 1580 - The key is by the staircase that sings and the forge cannot work without water. The lock underneath the manor will add water.

The words of Elinor tell about Mercury and the hands that move.

Corbin's words states about fire on the forge, touching Mercury's wand to the master gargoyle and 2 others, and to use the wand to the depository of the forge's fuel.

Penny's puzzle is to control the wind in the forge and the key is hidden by her playful companion. The knights block the passage of the oil to the forge.

Brigitte's box that contains a telescope lens can be opened by using the clues of her coat of arms and star charts. Use the lens to see 5 muses. Select each muse in order and Betty will wager Penny's keys. The lens also shows a secret panel in the moon column.

Edward devised the Saturn column, the green dragon and the target (slide).

John hid the key to the Mars column using the frogs in the conservatory pond.

Alan used the computer as clue to the Saturn key and gave the clue to the moving rooms.

Read the parchment written by Corbin, grandson of Elinor left of the worktable.

Forge: Pan left and look close at the forge. Take the mold. Look close at the metal in the pot all set to be worked in the pit.

Corner table: Read the journal of Charles Penvellyn and the reference to a family instructing the first born of the Penvellyn family. This verified what Ethel, the tutor stated - her family, the Bosinny have always taught the Penvellyn heir. Read the folded decree at the last page - the heir is taught no sooner than 12 years of age. Read the reference to the machine that executed Elinor. Study closely the parchment that tells how to move Mercury and to unlock the key. Remember that this was referenced in Nigel's note about the statue in front of his desk seen also through the peephole and the knight statue with those hands at the second level of gargoyle secret passage.

Read the parchment on the whetstone. Hmm... the Penvellyn treasure is close by. Pan left and look close at the cabinet on the wall that needs a key. Pan left and climb to the alcove to check the Wind control mechanism.

Find the column keys using the Ancestor's clues

Time to follow all the clues and keys stated in the journal of the ancestors.

Penny's Aeolus - wind puzzle: Penny's words stated that she made a puzzle to control the air in the forge. The Aeolus book stated the forge needs air. Go to the alcove left of the cabinet with the large keyhole on the wall.

The object of the puzzle is to catch all 4 winds by landing on them (similar to the Bul puzzle).

The control is at the right panel. Press the blue button to start the game and you (warrior) move to the center. The blue button also resets the game during gameplay. Use the 4 direction arrows to move to one square or 2 squares during your turn.

The game field is the left panel. Note the warrior (like the one by the door) at bottom. The 4 pictures show the 4 winds. The black squares are traps - so don't go there or you lose.

The 4 winds can blow you to the trap, so watch out where you land. The north wind can blow you down, the east wind to the left, the west wind to the right and the south wind to go up.

My strategy was not to be blown to the far left squares and to stay on squares that the target wind cannot blow me away. ex: above or below the east or west wind as my target or right or left of the north or south wind. Keep moving until the target wind is within 1 or 2 non-black square - then land on that target wind. Take the east wind first so there is no wind to blow you to the far left squares. Good luck!

Nancy will say - It sounds like air is going to the forge when the game is won.

Thomas' well lock: Study the map on the ancestors' journal and see that the well lock is just outside the moving rooms. Exit the forge. Open and close the Mars door twice without going in. Turn around and exit through the Mercury door. Immediately, turn left and forward to go to the well lock door with the familiar eye. Click on handle to enter the bottom of the well. Take the crumpled paper about and Uncle Roger's (the one with the toupee) item for Jane's guinea pig on the floor. Back up to go out of the well and do the door puzzle.

Well lock door puzzle: The object of the puzzle is to make 4 triangles in one compartment. Move the triangles by clicking on the button under the source compartment and the click the button under the receiving compartment.

Press 8 triangles button to 3 triangles button, 8 to 5, 3 to 8, 5 to 3, 5 to 8, 3 to 5, 8 to 3, 3 to 5, 5 to 8, 3 to 5, 8 to 3. The well fills with water.

Back up and go right or left (east or west exit). Go back up and out to the second floor hallway. Cell phone rings. Talk to Ned. Talk to Linda in her room.

John's puzzle: Go to the Conservatory. See that the pond is now filled with water after doing Thomas' well lock door puzzle and the frogs are merrily shooting out water. Talk to Mrs. Drake if she's working by the potting table.

Water pond puzzle: Based on John's story of Grenny read in Nancy's room, move the frog from one end to join the princess while keeping away from crocodile (senior mode only). To guide Grenny, click using the sprayer cursor on the tile in front of Grenny. Take the key from the frog's mouth. This is the helmet of the armored body on the first right column by the stairs. This is the Mars column based on the picture on Mutus Liber.

Talk to Mrs. Drake while you're here.

Go to the dragon room and using the prize clue after winning the 13 ghost hunt - When you are facing the GREEN dragon, look to the left and pull below the vase with the tree. As you step through the door and see the dragon, turn left and click on the leaf like knob with the cloth. Enter the passage, have a fun ride down the slide, see a target on the wall and out the crest at the Great Hall. If this is your first time to slide down, Ethel will be waiting for you with some hard scolding. Go back to the green dragon room.

Target puzzle: Using the cricket ball, hit the target as you slide down.

Do a practice run to see where the target is located. You will come out of the coat of arms of Penny with her playful companion. Turn left and oops! Ethel gives a stern, a very stern scolding.

Go back to the dragon room and do the slide again.

Open the slide passage.

Take the cricket ball from inventory to get it ready to throw.

Once the target is hit, pick up the clock key for the Saturn-Tempus Fugit column.

The drawing at the alchemy laboratory showed what to do. The statue has to be turned to face north.

Pull back and look down at the metal fingers. The central jewel should not be pressed in or it will stop the movement of Mercury.

Click on the statue's right index and hear Nigel say the statue is moving.

Click on statue's left middle finger and now Nigel screams.

Go now to the library and take the wand from Mercury's hand.

Time to go to bed. Have a nice rest!

2. Brigitte's moon column puzzle: Go to the window seat right of the suitcase.

Look at the base of the window seat.

Insert the lens on the hole under the moon at the base of the window seat. Turn the lens. A Zodiac panel is seen.

The object of the puzzle is to press the green button of the Zodiac in the correct order. Do a web search.

Click on green button under: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces.

See the panel recede. Take the full moon key. Back out and the lens automatically goes in inventory.

Depending on the time - go out the hallway and hear Mrs. Drake talking to Linda. She placed something on the door. Look close and see it's a charm.

Linda's room: Look at the raw meat on the table. Yum! Leave the room, she won't talk to you.

Jane's room: Look at the mirror of the dresser and read the back of the Rome postcard. Hmm. Jane's mother is in Italy. Talk to Jane about the message, telescope and red eyes.

Jigsaw puzzle - Play the Puzzle game. In senior mode, right click to turn the pieces.

After winning the puzzle game, go somewhere else (maybe see if Linda will talk to you) and then back to Nancy's room since Jane has to place the telescope back later.

Conservatory: Talk to Mrs. Drake about the charm.

3. Brigitte's 5 muses:

In Nancy's room, look through the telescope and see it focused on the Sun God mural.

Insert the lens, look through the telescope and see new pictures that are numbered.

Move the lens around and see 5 Muses that are numbered 1-5.

4. Betty at Great Hall: Remember what else Brigitte wrote - Betty will wager Penny's keys. We saw those muses at Betty's card game. Let's go there. Click on Betty to play. She stopped working. Look at base of card stand and click on hole. 'I need something to wind it up'.

Seedling puzzle: Talk to Mrs. Drake in the conservatory. She'll look for the crank while you arrange the seedlings to fit in the box. The object of the puzzle is to fit all the seedlings in the box.

Click to take the seedlings and place it on the box. Right click to rotate the seedlings. There!

When done, leave the conservatory and then come back. Mrs. Drake will be back. Talk to her again about Hugh and Jane's mother. She gives the crank.

Betty's card puzzle: Brigitte wrote - Select each muse in order and Betty will wager Penny's key.

Use the crank on the hole at base of the card booth. Click on the cards to start the game.

Unlike any other regular game with Betty, give Betty the code to play for Penny's key.

Click on the 5 muses in the order seen in the mural through the lens: 1. Melponeme, 2. Erato, 3. Terpischore, 4. Euterpe and 5. Thalia. Press red button. Betty then places the arrowhead as wager.

The object of the game is similar to Jane's matching game. Complete more 3-identical cards than your opponent, Betty.

The right stack above is the main stack of cards ready to be dealt and the left stack is Betty's. Your dealt cards are open on the table.

Remember her cards that she opens up in her left stack. Click on any of your open cards to see if Betty has it in her hidden stack.

If you click on your card that has a match with hers, you will take those cards from her hidden stack and it is shown on the table's open cards. During her turn she will try to match what you have.

Every turn continues as long as there is a matched card done. If not match is done, it will be the opponent's turn. Get 3 matching cards and the green light will show above. Good luck!

Take the arrowhead for the Venus -cupid column from the cup at the base of the card booth.

Library: Talk to Nigel and he will say goodbye. This manor is haunted. Hehehehehe!

One more key to go.

Preparing the forge

Unblock the oil flow to the forge: Time to see where all these ancestors' keys fit. Also, remember what Penny wrote - The knights block the passage of the oil to the forge.

Insert keys on the columns and a knight holding a shield is seen. Turn the pipes on the shield to make a continuous pipe line surrounding the center of the Great Hall. The clue to this is seen in Jane's Mutus Liber book.

With the back to the stairs:

Mars column - Insert the helmet key on headless knight closest right of the stairs and arrange the pipe to make an angle facing the center of the hall.

Jupiter column middle right of stairs: Insert the lightning bolt on Jupiter's hand and arrange the pipe to make a T.

Saturn -Tempus Fugit column: Insert the clock and arrange the pipe to make an angle facing the center of the hall.

Mercury column: Insert the rod and arrange the pipe to make an angle facing the center of the hall.

Moon column: Insert the full moon and arrange the pipe with the wide end sticking up - inverted T.

Venus - Cupid column: Insert the arrowhead and arrange the pipe to make an angle facing the center of the hall.

If the columns are done correctly - <glup glup, gurgle> It sounds like I did something right.

Light the forge: Based on Corbin Penvellyn's statement in the journal, there are 3 gargoyles and to touch Mercury's wand to the master gargoyle, 2 others and to the depository of the forge's fuel.

Timed Gargoyle run: The object of the puzzle is to activate the 3 gargoyles with the mercury wand in time to light the oil in the hole at center of the Great Hall. Penelope Penvellyn made reference to lighting the athanor using earth in liquid form, air, water and fire. See the graphic above of the page from Mutus Liber book. The center has the earth sign (oil). The air was through the wind puzzle of Penny's, water through the well puzzle of John and this should light the fire in the forge.

Go to the gargoyle beside the West Hall secret passage, left of Linda's room. Click the wand over the head of the gargoyle. See the eyes light up.

As fast as you can, go to the gargoyle on right wall just inside the door of the room with the green dragon.

Click the wand on top of the gargoyle. See the eyes light up.

Turn around and click the wand on the leaf like knob with the cloth. The entrance to the slide opens.

Slide down to come out to Great Hall.

Turn left to the gargoyle.

Click the wand on top of the gargoyle. See the eyes light up.

Back up twice until the center of the Great Hall.

Click the wand on the hole on the floor.

Poop! Something tells me I succeeded in lighting the forge.

Making the last key

It is time to work on that giant keyhole on the wall of the alchemy lab.

Mold: The mold picked up at the forge has 12 crosses, the lines of which can be removed. The picture seen in Jane's Mutus Liber book shows 12 squares with different drawings on it.

Look at all the coat of arms in the Great Hall. Notice that there are lines at the ends of the Latin motto. Corbin's coat of arms is in inventory given by Nigel.

Correlate the coat of arms to the drawings in the mold and then to the lines found at the end of the coat of arms motto.

Take the mold from inventory. Based from the correlated lines from the coat of arms and the drawing from Jane's Mutus Liber, arrange the lines on the mold.

Click on a bar to remove it and make a shape-line hole similar to the correlated Latin motto lines.

The Penvellyn treasure

Alchemy lab: Enter either the east or west secret passage by the gargoyle. Enter the moving rooms and click but do not enter twice on Mars door. Turn around and exit the Mercury door. Go forward to the Alchemy lab. Click on the handle or click on the snake on the puzzle panel.

Forge: See the forge is lit and metal is melted in the hanging pot. With the arranged mold in inventory, click on molten metal in the pot. See the metal pour in the mold.

Nancy Drew Games On Dont Working

If the mold was done correctly, Nancy will say There that looks right. Take the key.

Insert the key on the large keyhole on the wall by the wind puzzle. See the Penvellyn treasure on a pedestal. The culprit arrives to take it. Whoops! Immediately back up. The culprit is trapped in an airless chamber. To save the culprit, go to the wind puzzle and move the giant warrior to the trap to save the culprit from harm.

Listen to Nancy relate what happens next.
