Anachronox Hints

How do I get past security at the Starport?

  • 1 of 6: If you talk to the security guard at the exit, he'll tell you what you need to find.
  • 2 of 6: There are three sets of lasers at the security checkpoint -- you need to disable each of those lasers before you can pass through.
  • 3 of 6: Each color of laser is controlled by a different panel in the gate area. Find the correct code for each panel, and you'll weaken the corresponding laser.
  • 4 of 6: One guard has each of the three codes.  You may not have seen these guards before you knew you had to get the codes, so be sure to explore the Starport again.
  • 5 of 6: You'll also need to block the lasers completely after you've weakened them.
  • 6 of 6: Once you've weakened and then blocked the lasers, you should be ready to pass through the gate out to the Rainbow Sanctuary.
