Crystal Key 2: The Far Realm Hints

How do I move forward, inside the manhole?

  • 1 of 22: It's much too dark!   Warning: Once you've succeeded in moving forward inside the manhole, save the game!  If you leave too soon you won't be able to get back in!
  • 2 of 22: You won't find a modern flashlight, so you'll need to figure out a more unique method of lighting the way.
  • 3 of 22: The light source you need cannot be found at the Desert House.
  • 4 of 22: Be sure to visit Nehli and explore there.
  • 5 of 22: Okay, if you've done everything in the previous question, you have a crate, some Koozberries, and (Yippee!) glowbugs.  Have you tried to use them in the manhole yet?
  • 6 of 22: The area inside the manhole won't be lit up with glowbugs in a crate. 
  • 7 of 22: The glowbugs need to be outside the crate... yet, the glowbugs don't have any reason to leave their new home.
  • 8 of 22: Perhaps you can figure out something that will entice them out. 
  • 9 of 22: Their needs are simple -- they respond well to their own stomachs.
  • 10 of 22: Koozberries are good, but Koozberry juice is better.  Can you think of a place where you could get some Koozberry juice? 
  • 11 of 22: Don't even think about squeezing your own berries!  Imagine a place where you could get some ready-made juice.
  • 12 of 22: Go back to the bar at the Spaceport.
  • 13 of 22: The dispenser at the bar has some Koozberry juice.
  • 14 of 22: But you don't want to drink it.
  • 15 of 22: Perhaps if you had a suitable container, you could take some juice with you.
  • 16 of 22: Have you been to Kahleena's?
  • 17 of 22: Select the spray bottle from inventory, and click on the glass of juice to fill the spray bottle with the juice.
  • 18 of 22: Okay, so you've got the glowbugs and the juice inside the manhole, and still don't know how to move forward?  At this point, you've got everything you need; it's just a matter of implementation. 
  • 19 of 22: Spray the juice from the squirt bottle into the tunnel under the manhole.
  • 20 of 22: That still isn't good enough, is it?  Stubborn little bugs, aren't they?  Perhaps they are being jostled around too much.
  • 21 of 22: Maybe if you put the box down....
  • 22 of 22: Look for the brightly lit area on the ground and set the box down there.  You will need to spray into the tunnel again to make the glowbugs leave the box and light the tunnel.
