General Tips

This is the official guide for Sea of Lies: Nemesis!
This guide will not mention each time you have to zoom into a location; the screenshots will show each zoom scene.
Hidden-object puzzles are referred to as HOPs. This guide will not show screenshots of the HOPs, however, it will mention when an HOP is available and the inventory item you'll collect from it.
You can play a Match 3 game instead of an HOP; just select the 'Play Match 3' button in the lower-left corner.
This guide will give step-by-step solutions for all puzzles which are not random. Please read the instructions in the game for each puzzle.
