Anachronox Hints

Excellent Weapon

  • 1 of 7: His best weapon is the Cordicorps Saneslayer.
  • 2 of 7: I didn't bother verifying this myself, but I've heard this weapon is available on Hephaestus.
  • 3 of 7: Let PAL have some fun.
  • 4 of 7: Take him into the Moonburger restaurant *after* you've been to Limbus and let him play in the playground (switch to his character and click on the little entrance in the back).
  • 5 of 7: The longer he stays, the better prizes you get.
  • 6 of 7: He needs to play a *long* time.
  • 7 of 7: Apparently, 240 minutes will get him the Saneslayer.  Another couple of hours past that, and you may end up with a different prize.  (This time doesn't seem to be affected by the "timescale" cheat, as far as I could tell.)
