Get to the Guardians' base | Chapter 8 - Santorin, Greece Secret Files 3 Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Nina, Max and Jane Cunningham, chief scientist of CERN, are in the submersible deep down in the sea around Santorin. They are looking for the place given by the coordinates, which is the center of the circular shape island, sunk long time ago. Its elements which are above the sea form a small archipelago today.
Once you select difficulty level, head the submersible on a slant right down. You do not have to stick to the route perfectly - it is enough to click the particular spot and the submersible will find the way itself and get there. But in some parts (on the higher difficulty level), it will be disturbed by extremely strong currents, which have to be avoided (screens which show the way apply to such situations - in case of easier options you just have to keep the correct direction and click points which you want to reach).
Around the point our heroes are looking for, there are four recesses - look carefully at them. It looks like you have to put something into them, thus probably opening the Guardians' base. Underwater stone slabs resemble human shape with head facing left. Looks like his mouth is the entrance and recesses mentioned earlier are located at the height of his navel.
While looking for missing elements you have to go to four opposing corners of the underwater complex.
Once you get to the center, head on a slant right up (a detailed route is marked above with the yellow line). You'll reach a stone heap, which has to be cleaned up. So click on it with LMB and Max will use a special tool to clean stone pieces. It will turn out that there is a green crystal under stone pieces - it goes to your inventory now.
Use the outer path (on the right), with the current flowing down and then left, return to the center to look for another crystal. Of course you can go there right away, but I thought that it would have more sense to show proper way to all four crystals starting from the center of the complex.
In order to get another crystal, start in the center and go up left and then down (a detailed route is marked with yellow line above). Get it in the same way as the previous one and return to the center of the complex by going with right path.
Next crystal is located in the left bottom corner of the complex and it is really hard to get there. Start in the center and go down right, then move to the left and try to maneuver between many currents (a detailed route is marked with the yellow line above). But the way back is easy - after getting the crystal go to the left outer part of the maze and the current will bring you almost to the center (you'll have later only to move a bit right).
The last crystal is hidden in the right bottom part of this location and you have to go right, a bit up and then down (a detailed route is marked with the yellow line above). To return to the center of the complex you have to go to the most outer path to the right and the current will bring you down. After that move a bit up, then right, up and left, towards the recesses in the center of the complex.
Of course put all four crystals in recesses. As Nina predicted, the entrance opens and heroes will find themselves in Guardians' base.
