Anachronox Hints
How do I rescue the girl in the base?
1 of 7: She's on the lower level of the base.
2 of 7: If you keep exploring, you should eventually find an elevator that goes down to that level.
3 of 7: But the controls for the elevator aren't next to the elevator itself.
4 of 7: The controls are in the security room, which is at the top of a ramp/staircase in the garage.
5 of 7: Once you press the elevator controls, you'll have 45 seconds to make it to the elevator. A map here in the security room should help you find the most direct route. (Of course, it helps to look at the map before the timer starts -- or at least make sure to reset the timer by using the controls again if you need more time.)
6 of 7: There are two paths out of the garage, and one is quicker than the other. You'll need to take the "shortcut" to make it back to the elevator before it goes down to the lower floor on its own.
7 of 7: One of the doors leads into an unmarked storage room. Go through that and then onto the hallway where the elevator is located. You should have a few seconds to spare if you run the whole way there.
