Conspiracies Hints
How can I get up to the vent?
1 of 24: Look around for any tall objects you could climb.
2 of 24: There's a big light pole nearby. It's about as tall as the Chemtron building.
3 of 24: But you can't climb that pole, and even if you could, you couldn't jump from it all the way over to the vent.
4 of 24: Y'know, if that pole were a tree and you had an axe, you could chop it down so that it would fall against the building and provide a sort of makeshift ramp up to the vent.
5 of 24: Well, it's not a tree and you don't have an axe, but that's still the basic idea here.
6 of 24: The pole is very solid and well-made, so what could cause it to break near its base and fall over?
7 of 24: How about a well-placed explosive charge?
8 of 24: Have you found any crates of explosives anywhere in your travels?
9 of 24: There's one in the space station's warehouses.
11 of 24: And while you're there, get the Detonator, too. You can't have a controlled explosion without a detonator.
12 of 24: But that's not enough, is it? You need a way to strap the explosive onto the light pole in just the right place so that it'll stay there until it goes off.
13 of 24: The key word is "strap." Do you have anything that can do that?
14 of 24: How about a bra strap?
15 of 24: Nick isn't the kind of guy to have such a thing lying around his apartment, so you'll need to go "borrow" one from someone else.
16 of 24: Get the Bra from Jenny's apartment and use the explosive with it to place it inside.
17 of 24: Then use the detonator with the explosive bra to finish the setup.
18 of 24: WARNING: Save your game right now. If you don't have certain items that you'll be needing soon, it'll be too late to get them after knocking the pole over.
19 of 24: Now click the explosive bra contraption on the light pole to place the charge and begin the three-second countdown.
20 of 24: Needless to say, you then RUN LIKE CRAZY!
21 of 24: NOTE: Don't run back down the little narrow alley you came in on or one of the goons will magically be there to shoot you. Instead, run for one of the far corners of the fenced-off area.
22 of 24: Now you've got a nice little light pole ramp up to the vent.
23 of 24: Trouble is, it's a bit of a pain to climb without falling off, and you've only got a short amount of time before the goon squad shows up and kills you. (It's best to save your game again right after the FMV scene where they hear the explosion and go to investigate.)
24 of 24: The best way to get up the pole is to quickly run up the pole to the top, and then walk carefully across to the vent. This may take several tries. If you run out of time and get killed, just restore your save and try again.
