Excavating Hob's Barrow 7 hints left
The barrow has finally been excavated - it's time we searched for the secrets within.

What am I looking for?

The 'room' we emerged in seems quite standard, but the flowers on the ground are quite suspicious.

What's suspicious about them?

Flowers can't usually grow underground like this. They may be hiding something.
Try clearing them away.

Tell me what to do.

Use your knife to cut away the flowers.

What now?

Wooden boards nailed down and being held in place with rocks - the previous excavations really didn't want anyone getting down here.

What do I need to do?

You'll need to move the rocks and find a way to pry up the boards.
You have everything you need, so try using the tools that seem 'appropriate' for the job.

Tell me what to do.

Click the rocks to move them, then use the trowel to dig up the boards.

What now?

A long, creepy walk through the darkness awaits.
These hints will get you through the next puzzle.
