Machinarium Hints
How can I figure out how to use the elevator?
1 of 14: See those scribbles on the wall?
2 of 14: Those are the key here.
3 of 14: And the REAL key is realizing something about them that a two-dimensional screen hides quite well.
4 of 14: There's another scribble hidden behind the plant -- extend up there and take a look at it.
5 of 14: Remember it. Write it down.
6 of 14: Now, we need to find the missing bulb for the controls.
7 of 14: Throw some dirt from that plant on the floor and see what happens.
8 of 14: Did you see that little cleaning robot scurry out?
9 of 14: Grab him when he's next there.
10 of 14: He will drop the bulb you need.
11 of 14: Now, set about making the pattern you saw behind the plant on the elevator bulbs. You need to draw in straight lines from one to another.
12 of 14: The shape is a five point star, so giving the eight bulbs numbers clockwise with the top being one, click them as follows:
13 of 14: 1, 6, 2, 8, 4, and 1.
14 of 14: The elevator will then move you to your next destination.
