Anachronox Hints

Where can I get pictures of the Anachronox symbols?

  • 1 of 12: If you talk to Professor Langley in the MysTech Museum, he'll offer you $200 for pictures of the 6 Anachronox symbols, including credit for the one that he already found at Anachronox Tours.  Read ahead for locations.  I've given two hints for each symbol -- one for a general map area and another with the detailed location.
  • 2 of 12: 1) Fountain Spiral
  • 3 of 12: In the central part of the spiral, above the "MysTech Museum / Rowdy's / Zordo's" sign
  • 4 of 12: 2) Casinox Area
  • 5 of 12: Above the "Platform Area" sign
  • 6 of 12: 3) Tenements Area
  • 7 of 12: Above the "Fountain Spiral" sign on the upper level
  • 8 of 12: 4) Junkyard Area
  • 9 of 12: Above the "Tenement Area" sign
  • 10 of 12: 5) Platform Area
  • 11 of 12: Visible from the elevator when it's on the second floor
  • 12 of 12: You don't need to take a picture of the symbol above the sign outside Anachronox Tours, as you already have credit for it.
