Conspiracies Hints
Triangular Key
1 of 27: This item is in the little storage room that's near the dumpster in the alley.
2 of 27: You can't get into the storage room until you've finished your Meeting with Tony.
3 of 27: Once that's over, the door to the room is unlocked, so you can go in and search the place.
4 of 27: The key is hidden and hard to find.
5 of 27: Triangular items are often used as wedges and doorjambs, and this one is no exception.
6 of 27: What is there around here that might be wedged? The door clearly isn't.
7 of 27: Have you tried using the large red lever on one wall?
8 of 27: It controls the chain-and-hook gimmick, but something's preventing it from working.
9 of 27: Climb up and find out what.
10 of 27: You'll need a ladder in order to do that.
11 of 27: There's one nearby, but you can't climb it where it is.
12 of 27: So click on it to move it over a bit.
13 of 27: Now climb up it (move forward while facing it until you're at its top) and see what's blocking the chain from moving.
14 of 27: It's the triangular key you're after! (Right-click on the little square item that's on the mechanism just above the chain to verify this.)
15 of 27: However, it's stuck. You'll need to pry it loose with something.
16 of 27: You need to get the nearby Rusty Piece of Iron and use it on the triangular key.
17 of 27: Now you can finally take the key!
18 of 27: However, your ordeal isn't over yet. Taking the key somehow managed to jam the exit door, trapping you inside the storage room! Maybe that's why it was up there to begin with.
19 of 27: Beating on the door with your fists won't work, so try hitting it with something else.
20 of 27: Have you tried out the chain-and-hook gimmick now that it's unjammed and free to move?
21 of 27: When you use the red lever, the chain will travel at fairly high speed toward the door, but won't hit it.
22 of 27: What if something was hanging on the hook when the chain goes zooming toward the door?
23 of 27: Look around for items that have handles that could be hung on hooks.
24 of 27: Such items are the Paint Cans you can get nearby.
25 of 27: Get all three cans, then use them on the hook one at a time.
26 of 27: Put a can on the hook, pull the lever, pull the lever again to recall the chain, put another can on the hook, and so on.
27 of 27: After the third can whacks the door, it'll be unjammed (and a bit more colorful), and you can leave. Whew! What an object hunt!
