Anachronox Hints
How do I get out of the military compound?
1 of 15: Do you see the keypad next to the gate that you entered through?
2 of 15: Well, if you could find the combination, you'd be able to go through the gate.
3 of 15: Go to the operations tent (where several officers are talking) and look around there.
4 of 15: The code is near large computer screen where Cmd. Sgt. Maj. Helen is standing, but you need to distract him so you can look around.
5 of 15: First, find a way to talk to all of the officers at the compound.
6 of 15: Helen will give you a big clue on how to distract him.
7 of 15: The generator on the other side of the compound keeps going out.
8 of 15: And the next time it does, he's going to have to go investigate it himself.
9 of 15: Maybe you could knock out the generator yourself.
10 of 15: Literally.
11 of 15: Use your "Rage Might" WorldSkill on the generator. Just try to keep the fist in the circle by moving it with your mouse, and if you're successful, you'll knock out the generator.
12 of 15: Then, run back to the operations tent, and you can look at the big map and the smaller KeyNote.
13 of 15: The big map has the code for the KeyNote on it.
14 of 15: That code is CAGE. Enter that into the KeyNote to learn that the fence code is 65712. (Both codes may be random, like so many other things in this game, but I did get the same codes both times I went through this sequence. Of course, if you learn different codes, use those.)
15 of 15: Finally, just walk up to the fence and enter the code to get out. Enter the code at the fence, and not at the generator.
