Anachronox Hints
How do I open the green security door?
1 of 10: Look at the computer console in the same room as the locked door.
2 of 10: If you hadn't already guessed it, you need to select the proper order of 5 monster types to unlock the green door.
3 of 10: Although you don't see the same 5 symbols that were on the console that unlocked the red door, the order for the creatures does have something to do with those symbols.
4 of 10: Did you ever try pressing the camera icon on any of the *other* consoles -- including the one that unlocked the red doors and the ones in various "lairs" but *not* the one near the green door?
5 of 10: If so, then you saw a "video" that played back those 5 symbols in a particular order.
6 of 10: You need to match the symbols up to the creatures, and select the creatures on this console in the order that corresponds to the order in which the symbols were played back. (If you don't remember, you had to match up the symbols and creatures to unlock the red doors.)
7 of 10: However, there does seem to be one catch -- the "video" that plays back when you click on the camera runs in an infinite loop, so you may lose track of where it's supposed to start.
8 of 10: I found the easiest way to do this was to start with wherever the video was when I last looked at it and enter the 5 creatures from there. If that doesn't work, move the creatures right one position. That is, if El Pinto is in the first position, move it to the second, continuing around to the end. This method does involve a little trial and error, but it's faster than trying to find out where the "start" of the loop is.
9 of 10: Read ahead if you want a specific answer.
10 of 10: Going from left to right: Insanito Brigade, El Pinto, Orange Roughy, Brutal Bot, Devil Slug. The green door should now open.
