Glad that did the trick.

Hi Guys

I am at the point where I have entered the factory found the panel and used the crowbar, but I cant locate the medal, I have moved the cursor all over the screen but no luck, could someone please give a pointer (excuse the pun)
Many thanks in advance

Cheers

Hi SAFC,

First you need to fix the gear mechanism behind the panel. Once you've done that and opened the large blast doors, then the medal will ping out and land on the floor, close to that long centre line. You won't miss it when it does that.

Hi Rushes

I found it as you said, the W/T I checked is a bit ambiguous, but I am now nearing the end

Thanks for the directions

Cheers

Great! You're welcome. Hope you're enjoying it.

Hi,

Does it matter if you kill Gamma, like does it cause a dead end?

I need something to hold the bomb on the door but can't figure out what.

Hint only if possible please.

Thanks.

It won't cause a dead end if you kill Gamma, but if you do, you won't be able to get the optimal ending for the game.

You need to find something sticky that will hold the bomb on the door.

Thanks Marian.

What does that mean "the optimal ending"? Do you think it's worth replaying that part and not killing him/her/it?

Actually, the walkthrough says that you won't get the *most* optimal ending if you kill Gamma. Looking at the end of the walkthrough, it lists what are considered to be the two best endings to the game, along with one or two other endings.

Not having played the game, I can't really answer your question as to whether or not it would be worth playing/replaying this part again. It's interesting to me that there is more than one possible ending, though.

Huh, I thought I replied to above. Must have missed hitting submit.

Thanks for looking into that for me Marian. I decided to let Gamma RIP since there are multiple endings. I will see what I end up with.

Don't know why I didn't try that grease earlier. Have moved onto Metropol now.

Hi Marian.

I'm stuck again. I just cannot figure out the last (I guess it's 3) numbers of the tower door code. Crispin keeps hinting about the red line/lien "poem", that you can read it two ways. I'm not getting anything from that though or the "oblique" reference.

Anything you can tell me?

Looking at the walkthrough, it appears that you need a 16-digit code in order to enter the tower and go up the elevator. It would appear that there are four actions you need to have performed in order to get this Council Code.



It's actually kind of hard to tell from reading the walkthrough the sequence of events here in order to get the tower door code, but I believe this is correct. Maybe I'm missing something (it's quite possible), but I am not seeing anything in the walkthrough pertaining to Crispin and his red line/lien "poem."

If none of the above helps, please let us know. I hope I'm not just adding to the confusion.

I have numbers from Charity, Leopold, and Factotum. It is Memorious that I'm having trouble with. I used the monocle on the information center and read a bunch of stuff. I don't know if the clue is in that reading somewhere or what. There isn't somebody to actually speak with unless that is where I'm missing something.

I've tried getting Primer to help me but he clammed up and won't talk to me anymore.

Does this info pinpoint anything better in the walkthrough?

You're always helpful Marian. I understand that it's hard to give hints for some of this stuff.

Ah, yes. When you talk about using the monocle on the kiosk screen, the walkthrough doesn't spell everything out. What it says is that there is a series of wordplay-related puzzles here. The walkthrough doesn't provide the answers, though: it merely says that this results in a code that you need to type into the kiosk. And then it says that if you would like to know the correct code, to remove the X's from the following word:



Sorry that I couldn't be more vague.

Argh to word puzzles. I stink at them. I will give it another go this evening working from this angle to see if I can figure it out. Did not click on the "Show me!" yet. Will do that if I can't figure anything else out.

Thank you Marian!
