Events I Scroll

Hints:

• This DLC has no chapter scroll. Once the events scrolls are done, a scene from 1800 unlocks with two epilogue scrolls.
• Walter Keene is named outright, and anyone who played the first game knows the brand on his back.
• The jar broke before anyone walked in, since there are shards on their shoes. Someone dropped it to judge the depth.
• From the top, nobody can see into the grotto. The white alligator Keene describes is an old skeleton.
• The Whishbloom is falling out of Keene’s hat. Ask how he could know to take it without seeing it.
• Drawing lots blind is easy to cheat if you can tell your paper apart by touch.

Airship and Events II Scrolls

Hints:

• Side engines steer like paddles: the airship turns towards the weaker side.
• The balloon controls work the opposite way from a plane. A full balloon of air makes the ship heavier.
• The weight conversion is written on the wires. If the treasure made it on board, that maths was right.
• Ivan and the treasure alone cannot break the weight limit. Something else was added.
• Ansel flew here and only knew where to come because someone in the party contacted him. Ivan probably did not understand the controls.

Events III Scroll

Hints:

• You have not met a man with a turtle shell before. He did not always look like that.
• Two members of the party belong to the same Brotherhood sect. Look for its symbol, and for a ruby ring.
• Every gas mask filter shows some red spores, but none is fully clogged. The spores are not the real danger.
• Myrtle’s golden book in the last case showed a skull turning into a beast. She is the only one who knows what the Whishbloom does.
• Eliza has taken her mask off. Ask why.
• If the Whishbloom repays a life debt, it can lengthen a life. Someone could be alive in both 1797 and 1927.

Epilogue Scrolls

Hints:

• The Whishbloom changes people slowly after they smell it. Keene goes from blue scales to a full turtle.
• Several crew members in Broadside Betrayal already had odd features: pointed ears, blue patches, foaming mouths and a man in a coma.
• Nobody in 1797 wore a mask, and the captain’s journal mentions sneezing near the chest.
• Stefan disappears after Broadside Betrayal. Months pass before Last Orders, and his change could have gone very far by then.
• Ada’s grave is not dated 1797, and someone had to dig Keene out of the grotto.
