Lost in [post 'tape'] Sewers (spoilers)

Post by txa1265 »

Hi:

I have completed the 'tape' quest, went through the sewer pipe on King's Way, into those sewers, where you find things from the 'Sewer & Water' dept, and instead of going up the stairs I went down the ramp, then through another tube, and eventually ended up in an area with electrified water and the breaking bridge. I took care of the power, and see I can deal with the pumps so I can swin into the reservoir tanks, which then say 'flooded' or 'safe', but I can't get out through there, nor can I seem to get out the way I came ... I'm sure I'm missing something simple, but then perhaps I wasn't meant to come this way yet ... any clues for me?


SELF ANSWER!

I figured it out ... I was doing the right things and had the right idea, but the sides are not matched ... so I did it again, chose the other side, and it was great.

Thanks,

Mike

I'm stuck in the same spot and I can't understand your solution. It's been a long day, could you please use smaller words so that I can get out of that room. Been at it for an hour now and will probably hate myself once I get the solution.
Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life:

the longing for love,
the search for knowledge,
and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind.

I'm not sure if I get this right, but you're suppose to swim really fast after hitting that switch or the one on the computer. I'm stuck at the same place at the moment. pascode is 'tank' and 'septic' ( sorry for the spoiler, but I've been there for 2 hours and am pissed). I don't know what to do either. I did what the guy in the first post told me but still didn't make it ...
You get the switches the other way round (so when the switch is pointing off, the red lights of the flooded signal are still on) and then what ....???

This is how have done it.
fiorst turn of the elecricity in the other room. then turn the switch to unflood the chambers. wait untill the red lights turn on. then use the switch again and then immediately jump down and then into the water and swim. you should be barely able to make it past the big fan.

Didn't feel the need to start a new thread for this, but i'm requesting a spoiler here, since this involves the same quest...

I think i'm close to the end now, i'm in a room with a metal platform, and a controlpanel platform near to it. I can't use anything on the controlpanel, and there's nothing else i can use either, at least not that i know of. What am i missing here ?

I think i know where you are.
You will need an accescard for that.
It's located not far from that chamber.

Keep going up and left from that chamber, and you will find the card
I do not have the touch, nor do I have the power.

the way pasca has done this area is how i did it .. only thing, i find it really messy .. it just doesnt seem right..

i) turn off electricity (either buy computer or the locked room next to the right of the control panel)
ii) make sure the pumps are off so the fan in the pipes is stopped (check this by jumping in water if you can swim freely; its off)
ii) turn pumps on and fast as possible jump in the water and swim down the pipe .. first time i went left and didnt seem to work.. then went right and was able to get out (Reservoir 2)

- this method works but it seems too messy to me ..

- you need to head back up the passages, and a find a key card to activate the circle fall-away floor piece .. its around where those troll like creatures are, the ones that throw green balls at you..

I found the exact sequence for the pumps was:
1) Turn the Pump Control switch on
2) Use computer, select pumps off (computer says 'pumps in transition'.)
3) Turn Pump Control on again
4) Use computer, select pumps off again (should hear a noise and it says 'shutting down pumps'.)
5) Turn Pump Control on a final time and jump down fast (no need to turn pumps on at the computer, you should hear the pumps starting up as soon as you flip the switch), swim down the tunnel and head right at the end.
