Strange Antiquities: Day 10 Walkthrough

• The Catacombs, the unmarked grave next to 1755: a new object
• The detached house at the north end of Ruskin Street: a new object

Clue Card

Hints:

• The card describes an unmarked shrine below a moon, next to a grave with a stone cross.
• This points to the Catacombs. Two unmarked graves look possible.
• The right one is on the right side of the map, next to the grave marked 1755.

Click the unmarked grave next to 1755 for a new object.

Customer 1: Katherine Walpole

Hints:

• Katherine wants an Eye of Cernunnos, which Cernunnos himself is said to have used.
• In the Voice of Cernunnos sketch, he holds an ornate staff.
• Look for an object shaped like a tree whose branches grow around a gemstone.

Give Katherine the tree with the gemstone. Its branches match the staff, and the stone is Jade, linked to nature. You get the book entry for the Zephyrim.

David Chafer’s Letter

Mrs Bream asks for help at the only detached house on Ruskin Street. On the Undermere map, click the house at the northern end of Ruskin Street, a little below 19. You need to overhear a quiet conversation: look up Hearing in the index if needed, then use the Hearing Charm. You get a new object.

Customer 2: Grenville Pearce

Hints:

• Grenville wants a Shimmer. It slots into armour or weapons, like the slot in the sketch.
• The entry mentions calm rage and staying one step ahead.
• Look for a pendant with six slots, three of them holding gemstones.

Give Grenville the six-slot pendant. Its stones match the clues: Topaz for strength, Obsidian for fire and fury, and Malachite for sight. You get the book entry for the Babellia.

Customer 3: Freddie Lamb

Hints:

• Freddie wants protection from burns. There is no Burn entry in the index, but there is Fire.
• Fire leads to the Cyrene Ward, made from Basilisk scales.
• Look for a pendant with three stones hanging from a leathery centre.

Give Freddie the pendant. A Sense of Touch confirms the leathery centre, its pattern matches the Basilisk sketch, and its stones are Amber and Obsidian. You get the book entry for the Solemn Mether.

The Thaumic Lens

Before he leaves, Freddie gives you a fourth wooden tile. Move down to the table under the counter. Its border has four gaps in a repeating pattern of symbols. Put each tile in the gap where it continues the pattern.

The middle symbol lights up. Click it to reveal the Thaumic Lens and earn Second Sight. Any object placed on the lens shows its Thaumic Field.

Now solve Simone Green’s sketch from Day 9. Put objects on the lens until you find fields that match the three drawn symbols. Several combinations work. This one, from left to right on the plinths, opens a second hidden section of the shop with a new object:

1. Shadow Hold
2. Voice of Cernunnos
3. Shield Charm

Customer 4: Audrey Bell

Hints:

• Audrey wants a Veiled Phenn. It is brightly coloured in light but clouds over after a short time in total darkness.
• You can test objects by shutting them in the cabinet with the weights.
• Try the pendant with a green eye that follows your cursor.

Give Audrey the green eye pendant. To check it, take the weights out of the cabinet, put the pendant inside, close the door for about five seconds and open it: the eye is briefly clouded. You get the book entry for the Witherance.
