Dark Side of the Moon Hints

I can no longer travel the walkway; security sees me and kills me.

  • 1 of 34: You will reach a point in the game where you are a fugitive from security. You are no longer free to walk all of the open corridors.  There is a "shoot to kill" order out on you.
  • 2 of 34: This is most prevalent when trying to walk around the Administration level. You'll need to find other means of navigating around the various locations on the Administration level.
  • 3 of 34: There are other means of travel available to you in this open area.
  • 4 of 34: Think McGyver; think James Bond; think...  Tarzan.
  • 5 of 34: Look out into the center of Level 2 (the Administration level).  What do you see?
  • 6 of 34: There is a power station of some kind suspended in the middle of this gigantic area.
  • 7 of 34: The power station is suspended from cables.  The cables are anchored in the rock at various points around the outside of the Administration level.
  • 8 of 34: One of those cables anchors right above the oxygen generator at the end of the Administration walkway.
  • 9 of 34: To the left of the oxygen generator, there is a ladder.  Climb the ladder and look out over the center area, and you'll see one of the anchor cables immediately overhead.
  • 10 of 34: Now, if you could only make your way out across that cable to the power station...
  • 11 of 34: You can't crawl out.  You need something more dramatic.
  • 12 of 34: You'll need to "slide" out the cable.
  • 13 of 34: If only you could find some way to suspend yourself from the cable, and propel yourself along.
  • 14 of 34: Do you have anything you could hang from?
  • 15 of 34: A mag belt would work nicely.
  • 16 of 34: If you had only picked up the mag belt that was lying around in the Ore Processing Center!
  • 17 of 34: Throw the mag belt over the cable; you'll be "hanging" from it.
  • 18 of 34: Now to propel yourself along...  McGyver would be able to make a jet engine out of a... well, an air gun.
  • 19 of 34: Unfortunately, the air gun you took from the passed-out miner in the bar didn't have an air cartridge on it.
  • 20 of 34: If you've visited Jacob Wright's claim on Mining Level C, you should have found a compressed air cylinder.
  • 21 of 34: Apply the cylinder to the air gun to get a working model.
  • 22 of 34: Turn toward the wall (i.e., away from the center of the pit), and use your air gun.  You'll be propelled backwards, all the way to the center power station.
  • 23 of 34: Now you're stuck out in the middle, with little room to maneuver.
  • 24 of 34: Slowly inch your way to the right.  At each stop, look across to the other end of the new cable to see if you can see anything.
  • 25 of 34: On any of the cables, you can again use your mag belt to hang from the cable, turn towards the power station, and use your air gun to propel you back to a new spot on the outer wall.
  • 26 of 34: Most of the cables terminate in a solid rock face.
  • 27 of 34: One of the cables terminates directly above a vent.
  • 28 of 34: If you could open the vent, you might be able to crawl in.
  • 29 of 34: A sign by the oxygen generators said that "Vent Keys are magnetic".
  • 30 of 34: All vents can be opened with a magnetic key.
  • 31 of 34: Do you have any magnets around?
  • 32 of 34: If you've been to the laser saw, you should still have the green magnet taken from the saw's control panel.
  • 33 of 34: Use it to unlock the grate and enter the vent.
  • 34 of 34: The vents now give you access to all of the Administration offices.
