Hi Guys

I am presently playing this game currently in Chapter 4, I am at the part where I need to locate the Chargin Tower, I have followed one of the Chargin down into the sewer and then jumped into the water but I cant follow them to the tower, I have used the metal Pipe on them but they just keep saying dont go to the Tower he is following us, I have checked Youtube for a hint but it does not go up to the point I am at,anyone else playing this game who can point me in the right direction or towards a walkthrough as its very frustrating chasing the Chargin round and round the sewers, many thanks is advance

Cheers
SAFC

It looks like the walkthrough on YouTube includes chapter 4 now; it's worth taking a look:

Alum walkthrough Chapter 4

Maybe it doesn't include all of Chapter 4, but hopefully it does.

Hello,

Do you have some purple pigment in your inventory? If so then you do something with that smile

Hi Guys

I realised what I had to do after wisemans post, I am now in the escape pod in the factory, but the manual instructions as a bit vague, when do you use the pump and the levers to change the coloured lights, I have used the pump and the handle on the first part of the manual and a bell rings 3 times, but after that I am at a complete lost with the manual, what are the symbols in the manual do they relate to the switch positions with the red and green lights, any help gratefully received

Cheers

Hi Marian

Thanks for that, in case anyone else is stuck at the point of my first post, use the Purple Pigment on the Chargin and it will leave a trail to the Tower, another little hint, the anoying guy by the sewer entrance should be knocked out!!!!

Cheers SAFC

Has anyone managed to finish the game?
I'm stuck trying to retrieve parts for the armor (6th chapter, I think).
Need something to help propel the mine cart,
and some sort of distraction for the giant (can't get an option to ask the girl to do it).

I have not seen one that is played up to Chapter 6 yet.
The video walkthrough here stops at Chapter 4.

I'll see if I can help you with it.

The manual has 4 sets of instructions. Turn the page in the manual to see the next set.
There is also a circular dial showing 1, 2, 3, and 4, that helps you keep your place.

When you first start out, the circular dial will be at 1 and you'll want to enter the instructions on page 1.

When you've correctly entered the instructions on a page, you hear the bell, and the circular dial will go to the next number (except for page 3, which has 3 sets of instructions that you have to enter correctly before advancing to page 4).

At the end of every set of instructions, you either throw the knife switch or press the red button.
The instructions tell you which to do.
The knife switch is the big one that looks something like this
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knife_switch

Sometimes the instructions will show a picture of a gauge, which can be half full, empty, or completely full of the red liquid. You set the small switches, use the pump to get the gauge to the proper level, and then either push the red button or throw the knife switch. The knife switch does not stay put. You just need to throw it.

The small switches can be red or green and can be up or down. I think up was red and green was down, but check your picture to be sure. Assuming I'm remembering right and the red light is on when the switch is up, here is an example:
Let's say the instructions say
"green up up down red green"
so substitute up for red and down for green, and get
"down up up down up down"
The final instruction (on page 4) showed only 5 greens, not 6, and I think I just made everything green (all switches down).

If you do something wrong, the circular dial goes back to 1 and you have to start over on page 1.

The third page has 3 sets of instructions. Enter them one line at a time. Set the small switches and either push the red button or throw the big switch.

If the instructions show a gauge with red liquid in it, don't forget to pump up the red liquid to the proper level before throwing the knife switch (or pushing the button).

I'm currently at chapter 7, so I can provide tips for the people stuck at chapter 6:

Quote:
Need something to help propel the mine cart,

Click to reveal..
Try to use the sign on the cart (can't recall were I got it), then go see the giant.

Quote:
and some sort of distraction for the giant (can't get an option to ask the girl to do it).

Click to reveal..
Don't forget that the rushlight is also an object - try to use it with everyone/everything.

I'm stuck in Chapter 7 now,
Click to reveal..
playing as both Alum and Dashu and trying to figure out how to get into the security room. I'm not sure if I'm supposed to do anything with the wires in the computer panel other than disarm the turret, but turning the turret on and off seems to be the only connection I can make through that panel. Ratboy shows up and runs away. No cheese to bribe him with. I can get to the room next to the security room, but alarms go off and the doors lock and the character that didn't enter the room (Alum or Dashu) has to let the other out.

I’ve finished the game yesterday so I can help anyone stuck at chapter 7 (the last one).

Click to reveal..
Getting into the security room requires a lot of work/iterations – the way to go is to mess with the wires in the computer panel (leaving always the turret disabled) and using the gate wire (the first one) in the other wires/places. After each change use the TV then use the computer (not the panel).

You cannot interact with the rat guy in any way but at some point he will be important, so keep an eye on him.

To get past the room next to the security room you’ll need to get the bad guy away from the main computer for a moment so he cannot see the room intruder and lock him inside the room.

Thanks, jctl.
Sounds like the panel lights are misleading.
Click to reveal..
The light for the turret turns green immediately when it's connected, so you expect at least some of the other lights to do the same.
