Anachronox Hints
I have the security card, but how does that help me get the Resonating Fluid?
1 of 11: Notice the ledge in the room behind the door that you unlocked with the security card?
2 of 11: The Resonating Fluid is up at the top of that ledge.
3 of 11: You're going to have to find a way to get up there.
4 of 11: The elevator back in the previous room is the key.
5 of 11: Go down to the bottom level of the elevator.
6 of 11: Walk across the elevator floor, and press the button here.
7 of 11: This will cause the elevator to rise one level.
8 of 11: You don't ride the elevator when it's rising, but you can climb the ramp to go up and meet the elevator yourself.
9 of 11: A door will open just next to the button. Go through that to reach the ramp up one level. You can then cross the elevator on the next level and press the button again.
10 of 11: Repeat this process on the top level, and then go back into the room with the ledge.
11 of 11: If you haven't run out of time, you should now see some steps in the wall below the ledge. Take those steps up to the top of the ledge, and click on the machine to get your Resonating Fluid. You only have 60 seconds after you press the first button to get up the steps, so hurry.
