Anachronox Hints

How do I investigate the disappearances in town?

  • 1 of 6: First, you need to talk to the Burgomaster to get this quest.
  • 2 of 6: The Burgomaster tells you that he wants photos from the crime scene.
  • 3 of 6: Once you have the photos, report back to the Burgomaster, and he'll tell you that he needs some more evidence.
  • 4 of 6: Specifically, he wants you to look for any breaks in the town fence.
  • 5 of 6: Finally, the Burgomaster will ask you to look for anything else unusual in town.
  • 6 of 6: Once you've taken all three photos, the Burgomaster will send you into the inn to rest for the night.  Talk to the innkeeper behind the counter there, and you can go up to your room for the night.
