Anachronox Hints
Where are the parts for the security computer?
1 of 8: You'll find those components as you explore the rest of this ship. Again, if you've just found the computer for the first time, I'd focus on other parts of the ship.
2 of 8: Specifically, try getting through the locked door back "outside," at the top of the ramp leading from your ship.
3 of 8: Now, explore the area behind that door. This is where you will find the components you need.
4 of 8: Notice all the crystals on posts in the corners of the rooms in this section?
5 of 8: Try touching one.
6 of 8: Whenever you do, you'll summon some guards. Kill them, and you'll get a "hive shard" that's the same color as the crystal you just touched.
7 of 8: There are six crystals in total -- yellow, blue, purple, green, cyan, and red. The crystal area may look maze-like, but it's really not -- it's just that there are often multiple paths between the same two rooms.
8 of 8: When you have all six crystals, take them back to the main security computer and use each of the crystals in the "flames" around its edges. After you've put all the crystals in the computer, the rest of the doors on this ship will unlock.
