Duke Nukem 3D Hints
How do I start the shrink ray?
1 of 10: A second earthquake should have hit.
2 of 10: If it didn't, go back to where the shrink ray is.
3 of 10: Stand in front of the cross in that room.
4 of 10: Once the second earthquake hits, you are in the right room to start the shrink ray.
5 of 10: You have already activated the stairs, right?
6 of 10: Go up the stairs and jump onto the little ledge (right after the opening into the red room) to find another switch.
7 of 10: This switch raises and lowers another platform.
8 of 10: While the second platform is raising, jump onto it and ride up to the top.
9 of 10: Hit the switch and the shrink ray will start.
10 of 10: Once you're shrunk, go through the little hole in the wall.
