Callahan's Crosstime Saloon Hints

Why can't I open any of the doors?

  • 1 of 10: There is actually one set of doors (aside from the docking bay) that you can open.
  • 2 of 10: Those are the doors to the control room -- the one with the three rings.
  • 3 of 10: Once you get past the robot, you can use the control room to open the other doors.
  • 4 of 10: Play with the controls in there for a bit, and you may figure things out.
  • 5 of 10: Look at the control panel to the right (relative to where you're facing when you first enter).
  • 6 of 10: The three buttons on the left change the mode you're in.
  • 7 of 10: And the cluster of seven buttons on the right let you do different things to a room (each button symbolizes a room).  Touch the button to apply the current function to a room.
  • 8 of 10: The top button on the left opens a hatch.  The middle button removes the air from a room.  The bottom button unlocks a door.  (You can't open a hatch if the door is locked, or remove the air from a room if the door is unlocked.)
  • 9 of 10: An unlocked door is symbolized by a single line, a locked one by a square, and an open door by a double line.
  • 10 of 10: So, you want to select the bottom button of the three on the left, and then unlock the four rooms that are currently locked (that's every one except the docking bay and the control room).  The center circle doesn't seem to be available.
