Dreamfall: The Longest Journey Hints

I'm at a big water wheel. How do I proceed from here?

  • 1 of 10: Zoë thinks that the water wheel is the key to continuing.  And she's right.
  • 2 of 10: You just need to find a way of powering it.
  • 3 of 10: Well, the obvious answer might be that a water wheel is powered by water, but the question is figuring out where the water will come from.
  • 4 of 10: There's a machine to the right of the wheel.  Take a look at that.
  • 5 of 10: You could try to turn the small wheel on the machine, but not much would happen.
  • 6 of 10: There seems to be some sort of socket at the top of the machine, and that socket is currently empty.
  • 7 of 10: You may have found something that would go in that socket elsewhere in the caves.
  • 8 of 10: There was a glowing egg on a stick back near where you saw the second creature -- at the bottom of the path that took you to the water wheel.
  • 9 of 10: Take the glowing egg off the stick -- if necessary, avoiding the creature nearby -- and use it on the socket.  Then, when you turn the wheel, you'll cause some water to flow on top of the wheel, and the wheel will start spinning.
  • 10 of 10: From there, it's just a matter of standing next to the wheel and using the hand icon on it.  Zoë will grab the wheel and propel herself to the top.
