Via Domus III | 1x03 - Via Domus Lost: Via Domus Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Jungle
Once again, you won't have to worry about being attacked by the black smoke while exploring the jungle. You'll be dealing with tree marking in order to navigate your way to the final destination. Before you leave this area, you might want to consider approaching Jin (screen), however he won't understand a thing you're saying (maybe except 'the others' ;-)). As a result, you may ignore him.
The first tree marking is located nearby, so you won't have to spend a lot of time searching for it (screen). Once you've examined the tree marking, you'll be rewarded with a location of a new sign. The most important thing here is to travel in a straight line. Otherwise you might get lost. Distract from the main path only if there's a large tree blocking your way.
You shouldn't have any major problems with the first group of markings. The problems will begin once you've found a fourth clue, because you are going to be attacked by some armed enemies. You won't have to fight back, however you won't be allowed to make any unnecessary stops. From now on you'll navigate by examining red flags (screen). This should allow you to get to the final marking. Examine it and you'll receive an information that you're allowed to leave this area.
Jungle - The Hatch
Start off by moving forward. There's only one passageway here, so you can't get lost. You should be able to approach a closed hatch (screen). Don't worry, because you'll see what's inside soon enough. Examine this area before performing other activities. Don't talk to Locke just yet. Instead, pick up some of the visible coconuts. There's also a water bottle here.
Approach the hatch and find the numbers engraved on it. You may examine them if you want to, but it's even more important to move back and to use the digital camera. Choose this object from the inventory if you haven't done that already. Take the photo of the numbers (screen) and you'll automatically solve a subquest. Proceed to Locke and talk to him. Start with the general category:
- Who has shooting at me?
- How can we open it?
- Where did this come from?
- I think I've been seeing a ghost from my past.
- How can you suddenly walk?
Now you must choose some of the available quest-related topics:
- What is this place?
- I thought you were gonna give me the batteries.
- Just give me the battery.
Locke will automatically take you to a new location.
