The Cameron Files Hints
My air has been cut off, and a timer has started!
1 of 7: You have a finite amount of time to wind your way back through the underwater maze, and exit the lake.
2 of 7: It is almost impossible to describe this underwater maze. The best suggestion is to make sure that you have a saved game before entering the lake, and watch carefully where you are going.
3 of 7: Starting at the underground door, move forward (just to the right of a large weed). Go forward again (the ground is rather barren in front of you). Turn to the left and move forward just to the right of the two similar weeds. Turn to the right and move along the cliffs (the cliffs should be on your left side). This is where you found the broken bottle -- there should still be half a bottle and a skeleton at your feet.
4 of 7: Keeping the cliff on your left side, move forward again. Turn to the right and move over the broken boat parts.
5 of 7: Turn slightly to the right and move over the box and bottles. Turn to the right and travel on the right side of the big rock. Turn to the left and travel towards the rock in the distance. Turn to the right and travel on the barren path. Turn left and move to the left of the largest rock in the area. You should now be at the remains of a boat.
6 of 7: Turn slightly to the left and aim over the right side of the boat. You should now see a hill to the right. Move forward, so that you're aiming just to the left of the hill. This is the location you started from.
7 of 7: Look up, over the hill. You should now be able to exit the water.
