Gemma,

If you got through the dancing, it should all be in the dresser, check each drawer. The ears are easy to miss. Goodnight.

Hi Got the gate unlocked but cannot get into the warehouse does that mean that I have the complete suit I did not do any dancing y et and can't figure out how to get back to fango's office to check that music box oh well bit by bit thanks people hi tlc.

ok got into the warehouse and am stuck in a room with squares and robots that keep killing me and then when I finally get somewhere go into a room with sliding venetian blinds oh my any help please thanks goodnight

Hi GemmaJessie,

In order to steal the sapphire you first need to turn off all 4 lasers.

The 4 power circuits, all located in separate rooms, are identifiable by a red Z inside a circle. Find each one, move over it, and a puzzle will open up. Solve the puzzle correctly and 1 laser will shut down.

Do this for all 4 power circuits, and you will be able to return to the sapphire room and take the jewel.

Thanks am in the room with blue sapphire and four circuits with beams surrounding it but not able to get near it and found the ears thanks very much.

You won't be able to get anywhere near the sapphire until you have shut down all of the laser beams protecting it. If you explore the rooms which lead off from the sapphire room you will find the 4 "Z" power circuits to enable you to do this.

Here's a map of the warehouse to help you get your bearings:

thanks rushes can I assume that each room when I find the circuit leads to a room with venetian blinds which need to be closed I have managed to close two blinds and have saved this game do I go back to the warehouse with the sapphire and follow the above my husband can't even figure this one out and he is a tradesman oh well keep on plugging.

If you've already shut down two of the laser beams, then you're doing great, GemmaJessie!

If you now go back to the sapphire room and take a look, you should see that there are only 2 remaining beams to close.

Find those 2 remaining power circuits, shut them down, and the sapphire will be ready to take.

ok will try thanks this is the hardest nancy drew I have played and I have all of them..........

There are a lot of fast reflex sequences in this ND, that's for sure. Good luck getting through this part, GemmaJessie, you can do it.

Hi: I have not been throughthe dance scene does this make a difference in trying to get the diamond because I cannot get through to the diamond did have two lasers out but now back to none. any help appreciated thanks.

Hi GemmaJessie,

Nancy must have danced at least once, to have earned herself the catsuit - and you wouldn't have been able to enter the warehouse without wearing the full catsuit. So don't worry about it.

Would you like me to send you a saved game to get you out of that warehouse with the sapphire? Or will you persevere?

Please send me a saved game thanks.

On its way to you now.

Thank you rushes got through but am stuck at Fangos office have lined up pins but door won't open have checked off tasks and have two not done one is to do with a micro dot on pigeons leg and the other one is further on in the game have gone back to fangos office the first time got in but must have missed something am lost again sorry.

If you think you did that lock correctly, maybe Fango is inside the office - maybe.
Double check that the line at the background is aligned with the lines of the pins.
As for the mpigeon's microdot - have you reported to Sophia about catching the pigeon already?
Have you discussed the possibility of the microdot and what to do about checking it?
If so - borrow the microscope and use that with the pigeon's paper.
In Fango's office, check evry active item; also check the file cabinets (the Scopa cards). Double check the laptop.

ok have reported long time ago to Sophia re pigeon don't know about microdot will I still have microdot in inventory can I go back to Fangos office from my saved game and double check there and have four things not checked off have them listed one is must be a reason why keeps music box in file cabinet second is see if combination on microdot fango att'd to pigeons leg opens anything interesting. third keep looking around f's office for help making sense of list found in puzzle box. four figure out significance of numbers on back of flyer. I will keep on trying to get into his office may need your help again thanks.

If you reported to Sophia about the paper from the pigeon - Sophia should have mentioned about the microdot. If she hasn't then you must not have read the paper from the pigeon. But since you are way later in the game you must have done so already.


If you got the paper from the pigeon - yes - you should have it in inventory.

Gemma - Can I ask that you use punctuation marks on your sentences. I can't honestly state that I am understanding your post since they run together. It will help us if it is clearer. Thanks.


You can always go back to Fango's office if he's not there. No need to go back to a saved game.


The music box will be after you do the Chinese box.
You need to listen to this and then do the fax machine puzzle.


This will be after the fax machine puzzle.


This will be clear after the fax machine puzzle and then check the cabinet with the scopa cards.


That is what you enter to access the fax machine-music box puzzle.

Hi rushes sure appreciate your help I am at the stakeout and have goofed so will try again tomorrow saved game at stakeout so have second chance thanks for all.

Thanks, MaG.

Hi GemmaJessie, that was all MaG's work, not mine. Glad you made it to the stakeout, you're doing fine now. Good luck getting through it. You can always go back and re-examine the Italian phrase book if you get stuck.

MaG is good but so are you am stuck at the stakeout will review the italian but am confused everytime I see a hand it is another agent and why are the agents talking in colours is there a reason or does one of the colours mean that is where Nico is. Thanks guys this is the best Nancy Drew yet and the hardest.

Gemma,

At left side of the screen are the locations of the agents when they reported in. You will see them pop up as shadows.
Any other shadow in a place that is not on that list is Nico. So click on him immediately. Do this 3 times correctly and he will be caught.

As for the colors - they are the colors of the location - like red umbrella, white roses or such place.

thankyou MaG

Good luck. I enjoyed this puzzle.

Got through stakeout onward I go

Well done you!
