Anachronox Hints

But how can I find InvisoLad?

  • 1 of 10: He may be invisible, but he's not undetectable.
  • 2 of 10: Especially to someone with a good sense of smell.
  • 3 of 10: Try talking to Krapto, the dog in one of the cells.
  • 4 of 10: Hmm ... he doesn't seem to be able to speak.
  • 5 of 10: But he can still think.
  • 6 of 10: Use your mind-reading abilities (if needed, return to Headwork to get them back) and read Krapto's mind to find out he's thirsty.
  • 7 of 10: Another prisoner can fill Krapto's water dish.
  • 8 of 10: Pick up the water dish and *talk* to Creepfood in one of the other cells. You can fill Krapto's water dish by doing as Creepfood asks.  If needed, go back to Headwork to surrender your mind-reading powers, since you do need to talk to Creepfood, not read his mind.
  • 9 of 10: Then return the "water" dish to Krapto, and he can find InvisoLad for you.
  • 10 of 10: Again, you need to read Krapto's mind, so get Headwork to restore your mind-reading abilities.  You'll then learn that InvisoLad is in the corner to the left of the door where you entered.
