The Cameron Files Hints
How do I make the dynamite?
1 of 24: First pour 120 ml of nitric acid into the beaker on the table.
2 of 24: The bottle in your inventory holds 30 ml.
3 of 24: Let's assume you picked up more than one bottle of nitric acid -- and EACH of them holds 30 ml.
4 of 24: Pour the nitric acid into the beaker four times. You'll know you've used the bottle four times, because you'll see the level of liquid in the beaker go up.
5 of 24: Next add 80 ml of sulphuric acid.
6 of 24: The bottle in your inventory holds 20 ml.
7 of 24: Again, you'll need to pour four times into the beaker. When you have enough, the level of liquid in the beaker goes up and it changes color.
8 of 24: The instructions in the book say to add 5 ml of glycerine.
9 of 24: You won't find glycerine exactly.
10 of 24: Use the glycerol. You'll only need to pour it once.
11 of 24: The next thing the instructions say to do is to pour the total mixture into a beaker containing distilled water.
12 of 24: You won't find any water in your inventory.
13 of 24: There is a container immediately to the left of the beaker which holds distilled water.
14 of 24: You'll need to pick up the beaker and pour the contents into the larger container.
15 of 24: The instructions tell you to remove the nitro glycerine, which has been deposited at the bottom of the beaker.
16 of 24: You'll need something to help you reach the bottom of the container without pouring out the contents of the beaker.
17 of 24: Use the pipette in your inventory (it was picked up with the glycerol).
18 of 24: The explosive is ready, but you still need to find a way to transport it safely.
19 of 24: The instructions say to mix it with sawdust.
20 of 24: Before moving the pipette, look for a good place to put the sawdust and nitro glycerine.
21 of 24: There is a green bottle to the right of your work area.
22 of 24: Pour the sawdust into the bottle first.
23 of 24: Retrieve the pipette and put the nitro glycerine into the bottle of sawdust.
24 of 24: It is now safe to pick up the bottle and take it with you.
