I need help on Equilibrium.

I have got the dog following me and have found the elevator thing but i cant get on it because i need a card to activate it. Where can i find the card?

I'm stuck too.  I can't find the card for the slot and where can I find the key to open the trap door?  
Spoiler
I have the green rag, the fish, the shovel, the bottle of water and a bag.  I also have the dog following me.

Hi Maggie :) Getting to Libria is one of those ones that is a little tricky unless you've seen the movie.  For hints, keep reading (I do UHS style hints; largely why this is so long ;))

1.  
Spoiler
Have you double-checked the corkboard outside Trent's office?
[close]

2.  
Spoiler
Notice anything new?  Like that message concerning the assassination on Preston?
[close]

3.  
Spoiler
That assassination must not go through.
[close]

4.  
Spoiler
Since you've no idea who the assassin is, you can't stop it yourself.  You'll have to think of something else.
[close]

5.  
Spoiler
What if you were to warn Preston in advance?   You'll need someone who can give you his contact details, though.  Someone who knows a lot about Librian accommodations.

6.  
Spoiler
Talk to Jo in the Resistance hideout.  Then go to the Underground and look up the address she gives you to get Preston's telephone number.
[close]

7.  
Spoiler
Call Preston from the phone situated just north of the beach.  Warn him about the assassination and keep talking until Rosaline puts the phone down on him.
[close]

8.  
Spoiler
Go back and talk to Trent.  Tell him you're ready to go and you should be taken to Libria.

How do you get the shovel though Maggie?

I know where it is, but they wont let me take it.

Maggie

go back and talk to Luke in the hideout. I can't remember if I went back twice or thee times but it was when I wanted the password to the underground from him. He let me have it no bother. Hope this helps.

Hi

I  have managed to get to the seventh bridge and talk to the lady. She wanted some books in exchange and i went back and told Trent but i dont know what happens now.

Can anyone help?

maggie

HI
    Have you got your reward from Trent? If not go around the Nethers again and talk to people. When you find Jo she needs something. Hope that helps.
I'm totally lost in the tunnels. Even playing as Sparkplug and using my nose I still keep going round in circles. Can anyone help?

JudasFm

Hi Maggie

I went back to double-check found a slight blooper in the tunnel system; Sparkplug can get you to the penultimate room and then his nose seems to shut down :( Highlight the area below to find the safe way.

Hello JudasFM
       Thanks for the help in the tunnels, it worked. However, this is probably not the right forum but I never know which one to use. when I try to get out of tunnels I get a global script error line 55
Error     Move character---character not in room
Is this a bug? and if so is there anything I can do? I'm loving this game and would like to complete it.

I'm not sure what it is, to tell the truth.  I had it once or twice in testing; sometimes it did it and sometimes it didn't, and nothing I did seemed to make the slightest bit of difference.  There's no MoveCharacter command at all in that room (or on line 55 of the script) and I was never able to work out what caused it.  If you save the game just before exiting the tunnels and keep going back, you should get through, but it might take a few gos.  (Advance warning; something similar happens when you go back to Libria later on, so you might want to save again then :))

EDIT--I just went back in and double checked both that room and the final tunnel room.  There's no MoveCharacter function at all, and line 55 of the global script deals with cursor modes.  Like I said, it will work eventually; it's just a little frustrating to have to keep going back so sorry about that :( (On the plus and purely selfish side, at least it wasn't a programming error on my part :P)  Also, I'm really glad you're enjoying the game! :D:D:D

Maggie

Thanks, I finally got it to work. But am now wandering around trying to do something or find people.
Spoiler
I've been through tunnels, got crowbar, got pistol from cleric, opened manhole cover but only seem to be able to go in and out of tunnels. Can't find scattered people. What do I do next?

Glad it works :D For UHS-style hints, highlight on...(viva UHS!!!) ;)

(Note: There is a similar bug a little later on in the game; basically save whenever you enter or leave the tunnel system and you should be fine.  I never found it anywhere else besides those two places.)

Spoiler
What did the cleric say happened in the Underground?
[close]

Spoiler
He mentioned that the Tetra Grammaton had attacked.
[close]

Spoiler
Whereabouts are they located?
[close]

Spoiler
Go back into the tunnel system and ask Sparkplug to take you to Libria (Don't worry; his nose will work fine on this one ;))
[close]

Spoiler
The entrance to the city of Libria is north of the trapdoor exit/entrance.  Go one screen north and climb the metal ladder there.
[close]

Hope this helps some :)

Spoiler
Have I reached the end of the game when I alter the computers and fire at the fax machine or is there more to it ? If so how do I get away from the vice-consul?
Spoiler

JudasFm

Spoiler
Yes, it's the end (it should say that at the end of the messages; it's the only time in the game that it will) Getting away from the Vice-Council...well, just shoot the fax machine and the Resistance will take care of the rest.  (And yes, I know it's an abrupt ending, but it does tie in very nicely with the sequel, so please don't flame me too much about it :))

Hi, I think I'm WAY behind everyone on this cool game.

I have...
Spoiler
the green cloth, the dead fish, the red keycard, the shovel and the gun.
[close]

I'm not sure how to proceed, though I have been told what to do by Luke.

I'm wandering about trying to work out if there's a hidden door I have missed.

I'm sorry for being so slow, but can anyone please advise me?
