I am SO bad with trying to negotiate complicated geography in games. Have picked up all coordinats & programmed them into
GPS,but can't seem to get to the new waypoint(the beach) I have saved my game at the point where I am directly in front of Buoy #12. Can anyone take me from there? Thanks!

Its been too long ago for me to advise on this sadi so let's wait for some ND fans to stop by.

If buoy 12 is at the top edge of the area that you should stay in - from there - go right and if I'm correct you will hit it.
Keep watching the GPS and you will see if you're on the correct path.

Got it--thanks! Where are clams on beach?Can only find 3.

Sadirose,

Are you at the lighthouse?

This is from MaG's WT, Go to the lighthouse and look for 4 clams. If you don't find all 4, leave for a while and come back later.

If I remember correctly you have to go to both beach locations, and you have to go over both of them more than once at different times.

Hi Sadirose
You can't always find all the clams on the first visit to the location - I know I couldn't - you have to go do something else and come back later - don't remember what I did.

EDIT - have to learn how to type faster - 2 of you beat me to it

Thanks, Angela and RAL.

Do you mean something like go back to a different locationa(boat,Cafe) and then come back? I'm up to 4 clams but can't find anything at the lighthouse & ND says there are no more on beach.

Sadirose,

Yes, go to different locations and then go back.

I've tried that--up to 10 clams--but can't find a single one by the lighthouse.

Sadirose,

We'll have to wait for someone who knows where the clams are at the lighthouse.

There are no clams by the lighthouse itself, only at the beach area close by.

The second location for clamming is at the secret beach (via kayak).

The third location is at the sand bar by the secret beach - you'll need to hop some rocks to reach this part.

By going backwards and forwards between these 3 areas, you should find the remaining clams.

sadirose,

If you have 10 clams and haven't yet found any on the beach at the lighthouse, you're missing 1 from either the beach you reached using the kayak or the sandbar. There are 9 at that beach, 2 at the sandbar, and 4 at the lighthouse beach.

When searching the lighthouse beach, if you find hotspot holes that are empty or have something other than a clam, you'll have to return to those. You don't have to leave the lighthouse area entirely - just go up to the lighthouse door and click on it. Holt may be there and he'll tell you to leave. Then return to those holes and you should find clams.

Thanks,all! have all the clams by going back & forth per your suggestions. Am now in the secret tunnel belo the cafe at a dead end facing a boulder. what next? I believe I should see something of significance here--but nothing. thanks for any help.

Hi sadirose,

I think I know whereabouts you are. Are you able to get an up arrow if you move your cursor near the top of the screen?

sadirose,

I had a look at the WT and it says "The left fork leads to a dead end," it seems you need to turn around and go right at the fork.

P.11 of the WT says to go to the dead end,enter another tunnel thru an opening in the wall & get to another dead end facing a boulder which is supposed to have coordinates on it. I'm facing the boulder but nothing. thanks for help!

sadirose,

Oh, you're at this part, Hilda's Last Puzzle? Sorry. My memory on the ND games is not good, so I'm trying to help through the WT. Did you see Rushes suggestion?

Yes,Hilda's last puzzle. It says look close at the boulder(am doing that) & see coordinates. Not seeing coordinates or up arrow--nothing!

sadirose, if you've already gotten to the boulder, are you able to examine any part of it in close-up? If not, I'm wondering if you took a wrong turning someplace and you're standing in front of a different boulder.

sadirose,

From the WT, Go down the tunnel and take the long tunnel to the crossroad. Turn right to do the automatic long trek. Go left by the cairn to an alcove. Look close at the anvil stone. Click the up arrow and see an opening top of wall.


When you got to the crossroad, did you turn right, then left?

Have done that. have gone thru opening & followed new tunnel. Dead end as per walkthrough & facing boulder--nothing!

sadirose,

A couple of thoughts:

Did you read the letter in the shell box that gives the directions to follow down the tunnel to the boulder? Quite often the ND games require you to read the information (even if it's given in the walkthrough) in order to trigger something later - like the coordinates being on the boulder.

If you didn't read the letter, it might be worth doing. I think you'll have to go back in the game before you started down the tunnel, read the letter, and then follow the directions to the boulder.

Also, in following those left/right directions, there are a few times where you have to move forward before making the next turn.

Good luck.

Thanks for the help. Am now in lighthouse--have done Sea Serpent puzzle but am having trouble getting ND out. Am in trap door room. It seems she should climb up the silver ladder,but she doesn't seem to want to. Can't find the way back out--please help! Thanks!
