Anachronox Hints
But how do I find Eddie?
1 of 14: Well, he's not the only one who knows something around here.
2 of 14: You may have heard about another informant.
3 of 14: A floater was just outside of Rowdy's Bar. If you talked to him, he told you about K'Conrad, who's near the Fountain Overlook.
4 of 14: So go talk to him.
5 of 14: The Fountain Overlook is on the Fountain Spiral map, through a door right next to the elevator that goes to and from the spiral proper. Talk to him, and he'll send you in search of "Lucko" Coldwolf.
6 of 14: Fatima will help you here.
7 of 14: She tells you that Coldwolf lives at 628 Barton Arms in the Tenements Area.
8 of 14: Go to the upper level of the Tenements Area (i.e., don't go down the elevator), and then go down the ramp in that area. You'll find Lucko here, but you don't talk to him.
9 of 14: Instead, you should follow him.
10 of 14: Try to keep a safe distance -- not close enough that he can spot you but not so far that you lose track of him. Fatima will tell you when you're getting too close or too far, but generally speaking, as long as you're walking and not running, you should be fine. Also, don't worry about losing him in elevators -- just take the elevator as soon as you can, and you'll be fine.
11 of 14: If you need help following his trail, go up the ramp, then back to the Casinox Area, and into the Platform Area.
12 of 14: From there, he'll head into the Anachronox Tours Area, up the ramp there, and into the elevator into the restaurant. Go there to overhear his conversation -- you'll learn that Eddie is in the Junkyard.
13 of 14: Once you're in the Junkyard, keep going straight and ignore the first turn off to the right. Instead, head straight at that first fork and keep going the only way that you can. The path is fairly crooked, but there are no significant forks beyond the first one.
14 of 14: Keep going until you find a man who tries to stop you -- he's Eddie's bouncer.
