Anachronox Hints
Investigate a murder on Anachronox.
1 of 5: You will first run into Detective Rukh in the Anachronox Tours Area -- he'll be at a crime scene near the restaurant.
2 of 5: Keep talking to him, and he'll send you to check on the victim's apartment in Building 5. That's the same place that Grumpos lives/lived, in the Tenements Area.
3 of 5: Check the apartment directory and you'll find that the victim (Kewp's his name) lived in apartment C7.
4 of 5: Go up to the second floor to check it out, and look for anything that you can take or use.
5 of 5: Namely, the cursor on the counter's what you want. Just click on it to download its data and report back to Rukh with what you've learned. He'll give you a PAX Flashpack, which Boots can use to get his FlashBlind battle skill.
