The Crystal Key Hints
None of the equipment works! What must I do?
1 of 6: There are two machines here that you can work with.
2 of 6: The power is on .. or is it?
3 of 6: One of these machines is a generator, which powers the other.
4 of 6: Climb the ladder of the machine closest to the stairs. The generator has two blue levers.
5 of 6: Both levers must be pulled to the top -- slowly -- one at a time. When you are successful, you'll hear the sounds of a motor firing up. If you don't hear that, try again.
6 of 6: Now climb inside the other piece of equipment, press the console. Wow!
