GENERAL TIPS

Action items are the yellow items on your list, while the normal items are the white items on your list.
Your shipwreck sites must be fully completed before you can advance to the next chapter.
All action areas sparkle brightly, so they are easy to detect.
Use your PDA to see the full list of artifacts, characters, and shipwreck sites. The PDA is located on the left side of your item list.
During expert mode you will have a time limit on each scene, and will not be able to use any hints, or quick hints.

ACTION AREAS AND ITEMS

The action items are the yellow items on your list.
These special items will usually go into your inventory, rather than just disappear.
When an action item is in your inventory, you can use it on an action area either to advance the story, or gain another action item.
Action areas appear as sparkling items. Action areas usually hide action items behind them.
Using the appropriate action item on an action area will cause the action area to vanish from the scene.
Sometimes you will have to go to another location to find the appropriate action item for an action area.

HINTS/QUESTION MARKS

Collecting question marks will increase the number of hints you have left.
Each shipwreck site has at least 1 question mark in it. However, in expert mode there are no question marks, and no hints.
The question mark item looks like a question mark in a bubble. These items are often hard to find because they are somewhat translucent.
In the upper right corner of your screen is a number displaying the amount of hints you have.
Although the amount of the hints you can use is limited, the amount of quick hints you can use is unlimited.
A quick hint will show you a silhouette of any item on your list for a brief moment.
Click on an item from your item list to use the quick hint feature.

ARTIFACTS

There are 12 artifacts to collect.
These 12 artifacts have been dispersed over the 4 chapters in this game.
