The Cameron Files Hints
How do I create a bomb?
1 of 8: You will find the ingredients for either the black gunpowder, or the dynamite, in a cupboard in MacGrab's laboratory. (The dynamite is the most common; but some games only provide you the elements for making black gunpowder. Either will do.)
2 of 8: Depending on which cupboard opens, you will be able to obtain either the first set of ingredients, or the second.
3 of 8: Look for some instructions nearby.
4 of 8: Look on the bookshelf for a book with bomb-making details.
5 of 8: Read the instructions in the book carefully. Make some notes. You'll need to follow the instructions precisely -- one wrong move and it's GAME OVER.
6 of 8: You will also need to locate some other items, such as something to mix the ingredients in.
7 of 8: Look carefully around the lab. In particular, look for a beaker you can interact with.
8 of 8: Use all of these, and follow the instructions in the book, to create your bomb.
