Password for the laptop is 1588, Claire x

Counts me out i am worse than useless at this stuff.

Munchkim

I think you have to move the map to Trondheim next and the details you need to enter are:
ID: Nathan Drake
Password: Armada1588
Collection: Kraus collection

Munchkim

Then you go to Amsterdam and collect the items Nathan's friend gives you.
From there you need to go to Buckland Abbey in Devon (I searched Yelverton on the map and got there) use the camers and move the pics to find the next location.
I've just got to the Castle at Dunluce right now as thats the next area!

jojopo000

Can some kind person please point me in the direction of where the laptop is please?

Munchkim

When you get the map up thats focussd on Key West, click on the red circle thing and it takes you into Nathan's apartment, the lap top is there on the table

imapoorstudent

When you get to Buckland Abbey, you need to grab your camera to see the red writing, then move the pictures around to spell Dunluce Castle.

You need the three lights on the left when the camera's on to be green for it to appear on the map though. To do this, set zoom level on the right to the first bar and focus on the left to about midway.

How do you find the castle at dunluce, I searched google maps for dunluce castle, but nothing is showing apart from the road names?

imapoorstudent

After Buckland Abbey you go to Dunluce Castle.

If you look at the two stained glass windows, you can see a pattern: the coloured points match the colour of the adjacent points.

So you create the middle window in the same fashion.

Here's a tip: the left most column uses the points where the right points are green. Place them so that the upper and lower points match. The second column therefore uses those with green left points. The last column you should be able to work out by yourself.

Then it's off to Calais!

You need to do the puzzle properly, I think. I think those green lights have to be lit up in camera mode for it to appear on the map. I had the same problem where only two were lit up because I hadn't zoomed properly and it didn't appear on the map. Then I had to go back and start again. :mad:
