Nancy Drew: Curse of the Blackmoor Manor Message Board  

You are about three-quarters away from beating the game. In other words, you're not too far away.

To solve the puzzle:
Click on the circular snake symbol at the top-center of the puzzle. You will need to enable this puzzle by talking to Nigel and learning about Alchemy from the Web. Go to the Library, ask Nigel about the snake, then browse the web on Nancy's phone to get the meaning of the symbols.

Hope this helps.

hi im stuck on the part where you have to find the passageway in the East hall but ive tried moving the hands of the dragon its lots of different ways but nothing seems to work!!! i dont know what hand to start with?? also do you have to play the typing game on Nigels computer or is that just there for no reason?!?!?! please help me!!!

To Mystery45:

Starting from the dragon's head, and 'zig-zagging' down toward the tail, set the hands like this:
Right, Up, Down, Left, Down, Right

No, you don't have to complete the typing test on Nigel's computer. Not right now.

To totogirl03:


Well, to be honest, I can't remember everything about this puzzle. This is one of the few things I didn't write much about in my notes. I'm really sorry.

But I do remember that most of the answers are on Nancy's phone. But besides that, there's nothing else I can tell you.

Oh, and I won't be able to help you much anymore. I'll try, but I probably can't. I have school and homework to worry about. I hope you understand.

Hi, could you please help me? I've looked at a lot of cheats for the puzzle box in nancy's room and I think I have it right but it doesn't open. So could you give me a really specific hint or directions? I would really appreciate it. Thank you!

Here are the directions:

Box - Click on box and open any side. See colors at the center depicting the moon. The slider changes the colors and the top left button adjusts the cover of the moon.

Click open the Lynx side of the box. Click to open. Click top left button to cover the moon.

Click on Draco (dragon) side of box. Click to open. Click top left button to uncover the whole moon. Pull down the slider to get a full red moon.

Click on Leo side of box. Click to open. Click top left button to cover the right fourth of the moon. Pull slider down to change the color to red.

Turn the box and click on Lepus (rabbit) side of the box. Click top left button to cover the left half of the circle. Pull slider down to change the color to green.

Click on Pisces side of the box. Click to open. Click top left button to cover the left fourth of the moon. Pull the slider down to change the color to blue.

A compartment opens. Take the drawing and see that it is a lens of a telescope that sits on a tripod. Take the lens.


Hope this helps you!
