The Cameron Files Hints
How can I save Lord MacFarley?
1 of 12: It looks like he's connected to a pretty serious electric current.
2 of 12: Before you try any of the switches, you might want to save the game.
3 of 12: Look around the area of the control panel.
4 of 12: Note the sign on the wall.
5 of 12: The sign says, "Caution: do not cut off power supply to handcuffs before helmet. Shock hazard."
6 of 12: You'll need to shut off the power to the helmet first.
7 of 12: Follow the wires from the control panel to the apparatus connected to MacFarley.
8 of 12: You should be able to tell which set of wires is connected to the helmet.
9 of 12: The helmet is connected to the center switch, so that's the one to turn off first.
10 of 12: It doesn't matter which order you turn off the other two switches.
11 of 12: After you turn off the handcuffs, you still need to revive MacFarley.
12 of 12: Use the bottle of water on the adjacent table to revive him.
