Ankh Hints
How can I recharge the time machine's battery?
1 of 8: It should be easy to figure out, considering the fact that you can't leave the room.
2 of 8: Is there anything zappy in the area?
3 of 8: Like a leftover electric eel?
4 of 8: There's one flopping around on the floor nearby.
5 of 8: Examine it to learn that its electric shocks can kill a man.
6 of 8: Then just pick it up and put it in your inventory as if there were no danger whatsoever.
7 of 8: Good thing this is a "never say die" adventure game!
8 of 8: Anyway, once you have the electric eel in inventory, you can use it on the time machine to recharge its battery.
