How do I power up the conduit?
According to the Bulletin Board message, you have to go to the Inn.
--
Do you remember where you hid the power source when Mr. Gordon's ancestor wanted to take it from you?
--
Presumably it's still in a wine bottle somewhere at the Inn.
--
First step would be to retrieve it, then.
--
The inn building in the 1600s is off limits, and there are no wine bottles in the 50s inn.
--
There are, however, some old dusty wine bottles on the floor in the back office of the present-day inn.
--
Can you see the POWER SOURCE in the bottom-right bottle in the bottle rack? Tap to retrieve it.
--
Now, do you remember where the conduit was?
--
It was hidden in plain sight, in Mr. Gordon's ancestor's study.
--
That's the room that is currently bricked up, yes.
--
So now there's a WALL standing in the way.
--
Do you feel up to smashing down walls?
--
With the right tools we bet you could do it.
--
Do you happen to have a very heavy-duty hammer maybe?
--
There's one in front of the STABLES.
--
If you haven't done so already, time travel to the 1600s and pick up the blacksmith hammer from in front of the stables door.
--
Now that you have the right tool for the job, you only need the help of time itself.
--
It stands to reason that the more that time has passed since the wall was constructed, the easier it will be to demolish.
--
Time travel to the PRESENT and use the hammer on the bricked-up doorway in the Inn.
--
Now step through the newly-opened doorway to get taken straight to the conduit in the fireplace.
--
Place the power source in the slot. One job well done.
