Title: Featherweight
Post by: TheJBurger on Sun 15/11/2009 22:16:34
How do I get past the forcefield and the guard when the alarm sounds? I've got the wrench, tube + axle, and cartridge + wire. I've been captured multiple times and it seems like I've clicked on everything.

How do I free the sentry that is hanging upside down?  I assume it has something to do with the machine with 5 buttons.  I turned the 3 lights to green, but nothing happens.   ???

You must arrange the 5 sliders, not just three. However, 2 have their lights broken off...

Extra hint if you need it:

Spoiler
All 5 sliders should be at a different level - so there's only really two spots to choose from with the remaining 2 ;)

You need:

Spoiler
A crowbar
[close]

You can find it:

Spoiler
In the debris in the 'triangle door room'
[close]

However:

Spoiler
It is stuck there, so you will have to free it first
[close]

Sadly,

Spoiler
That guy who made the game thought it'd be 'fun' to have to go and collect other items and combine them into a bomb in order to get a stupid crowbar. Seriously... why couldn't I just distract the guard with the bomb or the axle or something instead of all this running around?
[close]

Answer:

Spoiler
Lazy puzzle design.  8)
[close]

To make that, you'll need:

Spoiler
Wire, shaped charge, cartridge and a watch.
[close]

Hope this helps :)

You're missing something :)

Spoiler
It's a bit hidden, go to the room with the laser wall + alarm and look near the tower door, there's something you'll need :)

Ok. So to get the crate open I need the crowbar which I can free with the bomb that I can find inside the said crate?  :o

EDIT: The problem was that I didn't see the charge in the barrel location. Thanks, Bulbapuck and sthomannch  for help.

Totally defeated by the lights and rings puzzle. I've got the indicator lights lined up, and if I move the spotlight round I can get a rectangular light to come on but nothing happens... :S

What do I do?

I used

the scope on the light and manipulated the light until all green bars lit up. Save first, because you have to try a bit.

When you're able to change the lights:
Spoiler
Start at the upper right panel and one light will be on. From there: three times counterclockwise, twice clockwise and four times counterclockwise again.

Okay I put the card in the box. Now what buttons do I push to get into the door? I know it has something to do with the lights but I can't figure it out.
Title: Re: Featherweight

Left of the door is a control panel with three buttons. Use the panel and look at the blue lights half way the wire. When the top one is lit, look at the sign on the pole and check which part of the triangle is missing. Use the top button to set the symbol next to the door to the missing one. Repeat for the middle and the bottom wire.

The solution:
Spoiler
For the top button it’s the left side of the baseline. For the middle button it’s the upper part of the right side and for the bottom button it’s the lower part of the left side of the triangle.

I'm still confused on how to get the crowbar. I have the wrench, axl + innertube, and the cartridge + wire.

You need another item as well....
Spoiler
You need a pocketwatch. You can find it in the backpack left of the crates.

Then you have familiar items you can have a blast with.

Okay now what do I use to set this thing off? I'm trying everything.

To get the bar:
Spoiler
In your inventory use the wire with the cartridge. Use the pocket watch with the wired cartridge and you have a detonator. Use the detonator with the charge to create a time bomb. Use the bomb with the debris and …

the bar is still stuck. Then:
Spoiler
Use the axle on the bar to hit it out. Pick up the bar.
