chapter 4 "The Town Well" This one is really tricky. There are wheels to turn, levers to pull, grates to open, and as a weak little human you can't do it all yourself... or can you? This isn't called a cheat book for nothing. All righty we're going to call upon some of the stuff you've already done. We need to head back to the town and deposit any cash you picked up and sell any heavy armor you may have that you don't really need (like the leather boots and jacket from the mansion or chainmail from the church) and then deposit that money too. Get in the habit of watching your encumbrance. Keep that weird gray amulet if you found it in the church, though. And that access badge from Kleiner! It's especially important now because you'e about to go fetch a bunch of heavy equipment to get this quest done. So if you're still at Roshd, head back to town: 1s, 1e, 1n, 1u dial cave enter gate out 26s, 5e, 1n sell blue jeans sell white shirt (etc) 1s, 1w, 3n, 1e deposit all Ok now back to the Campus lab 1w, 3s, 4w, 26n enter cave dial campus lab enter gate 2s get all from bench Yeah dude. A rocket pack and a portal generator. Sweet. Save those for a little later. 2n dial stargate lab enter gate 1n, 1e What? What is this? A mech? What? Yes indeed. There should be a landstrider mech here...looking kind of like ED-209 from Robocop but with a seat you can get into. give badge to mech enter mech drive west drive south direct mech to dial campus lab direct mech to enter gate drive south drive south get badge direct mech to enter portal exit mech cast light You're in an underground tunnel that has a very heavy door that you can't open yourself if you're a puny human, so you're goig to have to get the mech to open it for you, once you get the key. Let's leave the mech here for now. Make sure you get that badge back or you won't be able to get back here. enter portal 1n, 1e, 1n, 2e open door cast light 1s, 1d, 1w push wall 2w, 1s open hatch 1d get key from table 1u, 1n, 4e, 1u, 1n, 2w, 1s, 1w, 1s enter portal cast light unlock door with key enter mech direct mech to open door drive west drive west direct mech to open grate drive east drive east direct mech to enter portal exit All right so we've unlocked that super heavy door and had the mech open it, then we had the mech open the super heavy grate. There are other ways to solve this problem, and they involve killing a human and then making it into a zombie. If you want to try that solution (or the mech or portal are not available), read the player hints book and that will guide you through. Otherwise, this method is the quick and dirty. Now we need to open up the water wheel so that water can start flooding the overhead chamber...but we also want to wear some gear that will let us breathe underwater in case we don't type fast enough. Remember all that crud you grabbed from the lab table earlier? One of those things was an A98 breathing device. This will help. If you don't have it handy, just be sure you can type fast. The next steps will flood the rooms you are in, and as a human you are not super great at breathing water. enter portal 2w wear a98 turn wheel 2e enter portal remove a98 Ok! What's happening now is that a bunch of water is flooding the rooms you were in. It's flooding upwards into a chamber near the town well. This will take a few minutes. Once that's done, we'll head over to the well and open a door that lets the water into the well, solving the quest. Another thing the water is doing is flooding along the corridor you were in, and filling up a locked-up room with water. This is a really really good thing, because that room has a cave troll that you need to be dead for a different quest, and it is much easier to have it die from drowning than to have to kill it with combat. All right, let's head up to the well. 2n dial cave enter gate out 26s, 4e, 1s enter well Ok here we are. Has it been a few minutes? Maybe 5 or so? Let's go ahead and open that flood door: pull lever If that doesn't work, push the lever and wait some more and try again. If that still doesn't work, you may need to try the zombie solution.
