Anachronox Hints

How do I get to North Anachronox?

  • 1 of 6: Early in the game, you may be given a quest to get here.  You won't be able to do that much, but you will at least get to see this section.
  • 2 of 6: But the main time you'll spend here comes at the end of the game.
  • 3 of 6: First, make your way to Limbus and finish the quests there.
  • 4 of 6: Santa will then send you to find one of the Vigil members on Anachronox.
  • 5 of 6: Find him, and you'll learn that it's time to steal back the Echo Gate key that Detta took from you earlier in the game.
  • 6 of 6: Once you have that quest, just go to Anachronox Tours to buy the shuttle tickets to One Gate station.  Head out of the station and walk down the path until you reach Detta's Fortress at the end.  There's no turning back from here, so make sure that you have all of the items that you think you'll need. (There are a few smaller stores along the way, but there's no way to add skills or anything like that.)
