Anachronox Hints
Where should I go once I'm at that platform?
1 of 9: First, step onto the platform and head across to the far side of this room. (Use the controls shown on screen and press SPACE to get off the platform. Just make sure that it's level with wherever you want to be first.)
2 of 9: You'll find a locked door on that part of the room -- you want to get through that.
3 of 9: There's also a Lava Sampler Lever in this area. Take it. You'll need a lava sample to unlock the door.
4 of 9: Notice the platform at lava-level in the center of the room?
5 of 9: That's where you can get the lava sample that will unlock the door.
6 of 9: But first, you need to supply power to that sampler.
7 of 9: There's a giant power switch on one of the walls, high above the sampler. Ride your platform there and flip the switch to turn the power on. (You'll need the lever to turn on the power.)
8 of 9: Then, go down to the lower platform and press the orange button there. If you've turned the power on, you should have created your lava sample.
9 of 9: Finally, head back up to the door and press another orange button to unlock the door.
