How do I unlock the door on top of the Brown Building?
- There sure are a lot of locked doors around here.
- Sure would be nice if there was a key that opened them all.
- Who would have a key like that?
- Obviously someone who liked getting into everything.
- Ask the hacker about keys.
I can't get out of the weather station!
- Just get rid of the flying creature.
- Why does it seem to have come after you? Can't just be a coincidence, can it?
- It must be after something you have.
- Giving the hand to the creature will get rid of it, but you'll lose the hand.
- Not so good, after being so clever as to find it.
- Where did your get the stone?
- THROW THE STONE AT THE CREATURE to drive it away. (You may have to do this once inside the Dome and once on the Skyscraper Roof).
How do I get into the Dept. of Alchemy?
- The light is on inside, maybe someone's in there.
- KNOCK ON THE DOOR.
I've gotten to the Alchemy Department. Now what?
- Maybe the professor can help you.
- Maybe he doesn't want to help you.
- Maybe he has something to hide.
How do I get into the laboratory?
- The professor doesn't find you very interesting, does he?
- Have you got anything that might pique his interest?
- Following that, how about exciting his hatred?
- Do you have anything that threatens him?
- No, not physically! What's he been doing, you wonder?
- Look at the lab sign-up sheet.
- If you haven't seen anything else that is related to the sheet, don't go on.
- Show the professor the suicide note.
- Then try to enter the lab.
Where can I find a note?
- Where you might once have seen a cow.
- ...or a Volkswagen Beetle
- It's up high.
- But not the highest.
- Outside, on the Great Dome.
- ...and under the bronze plug.
How do I get out of the laboratory?
- Consider carefully how the professor put you into the pentagram.
- Did he use any equipment?
- Have you anything similar?
- If not, you are doomed. Enjoy your last few minutes of life.
- If so, try cutting the pentagram the way he cut it to put you inside.
- ...but wait until he's in his pentagram.
- Then leave the pentagram.
- Still stuck in the lab? When you found the knife, did you explore the tunnels nearby carefully?
- Ever wonder where that trapdoor in the Cinderblock Tunnel went?
- Could it possibly have gone in here somewhere?
- No. You can't see it. Maybe it's hidden.
- Maybe it's under something.
- Look at the lab bench. Notice anything interesting about it?
- It has wheels. MOVE THE BENCH
- OPEN THE TRAPDOOR. Now go down into the cinderblock tunnel to avoid what the professor has summoned. Hurry, the timing is critical!
- Don't forget your flashlight.
What use is the vat?
- READ THE LABEL.
- Great joke. What does it really do?
- Got anything dead?
- Try putting it in the vat and see what happens.
How do I get the computer in the lab to boot up?
- Just put the disk in.
- Find the disk first, of course.
- There is no disk, at least not where it can be found.
How can I decode the professor's diary file?
- Use the cryptography program.
- It's accessible from the file server.
- The file server is in the computer room.
- Dreaming again, I see. There is no diary file.
