Anachronox Hints
How can Stiletto open the doors in the room with the electrified floor?
1 of 10: Notice the keypads next to most of the doors.
2 of 10: You won't find the codes for those keypads right away. Keep exploring this area a bit.
3 of 10: Wait until Stiletto's learned her part of another code.
4 of 10: The KeyNote that the drunk guard had also contained four letters: "FACE."
5 of 10: That doesn't give you the code to the doors, but it does give you the code to something else.
6 of 10: Use any of the KeyNotes you see around here, and enter that code.
7 of 10: If you go down the stairs in the electrified-floor room, you can find one KeyNote in front of room
8 of 10: You'll learn the code to rooms 2 and 6 is 4212, and the code to rooms 1, 3, and 5 is 6776. For some reason, the codes for room 5 and 6 appeared to be swapped around when I played the game.
9 of 10: When you enter the correct codes, you should both extend all of the bridges to those rooms and open the doors. If the bridges don't extend for some reason, look for a place for Stiletto to use her skills.
10 of 10: Near room 03 is a bright blue box painted high up on one of the walls. Do a Throw Loonie at the square there to extend the bridges.
