Dark Forces Hints
How do I crack the vault?
1 of 18: Don't worry, it took me a while to figure this out to. This is a very well-built puzzle that takes a while to solve.
2 of 18: Try looking at the picture on the wall. Get any hints?
3 of 18: The controls along the outer edge open one door at a time, out of three.
4 of 18: You must plan your route through the vault, never passing through the same sector twice (because the door will block your progress).
5 of 18: When you find a set of buttons, the top button means the outer ring, the middle means the middle ring, and the bottom button means the inner ring. If you turn off one of the buttons, the door in that ring will open. But you can only have one door open per switch.
6 of 18: You start in the upper-left hand quadrant.
7 of 18: First go through and open all of the doors to the outer edge, moving in a clockwise direction.
8 of 18: Starting from the LAST button that you came to during your first pass, go backwards setting the switches in this sequence: 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3. NOTE: 1 is the inner ring and 3 is the outer ring. The number stands for the button that is blank
9 of 18: You should now have a clear path through.
10 of 18: If you still don't understand this, check out this map.
