Mysterious Journey II Hints

How do I get inside the Shuttle Bay?

  • 1 of 18: You'll need to completely repair Talen before the shuttle bay door can be opened.
  • 2 of 18: The shuttle bay door is located at the far end of the hall from Talen (near the other fallen companion).
  • 3 of 18: The door is locked -- but the "key" is not far away.
  • 4 of 18: The door can be unlocked from a small control panel with four dials on it.  Look for the panel just off to the right of the hall.
  • 5 of 18: You won't find a ready-made combination for the dials; you'll need to figure out how to set them yourself.  (There is no fixed answer to this puzzle, as the combination is randomized each time the game is played.)
  • 6 of 18: For a clue as to how to set the dials, you'll need to do some exploring behind the electricity-charged hallway.How do I get past the electricity-charged hallway?
  • 7 of 18: Pay particular attention to what you see through the window at the top of the ramp.
  • 8 of 18: The back of the shuttle bay door is visible through the window.  Study the door for any distinguishing characteristics -- anything that could provide a clue as to the combination.
  • 9 of 18: In particular, make note of the series of four metal bars near the top of the door.
  • 10 of 18: It is not a coincidence that there are four metal bars on the door and four dials on the control panel.
  • 11 of 18: Notice the gap in each bar?
  • 12 of 18: You'll need to line up the four gaps near the center of the door, so that the four bands running down the center of the door can pass through the gaps in the bars.
  • 13 of 18: Carefully note the location of each gap.  It is possible to estimate how much the bar will need to be moved, simply by estimating how far away each gap is from the center.  Note that when each bar is moved, the movement will be roughly the same amount as the size of the gap in the bar.
  • 14 of 18: Return to the control panel with the dials.  To find the control panel again, go down the ramp from the window, turn left; move forward, and turn left to take the long ramp up.  Carefully turn the dials, noting the starting position of each dial, and by how much each one has been turned.
  • 15 of 18: Okay, it's time to hike back to the window and check how each dial movement affected the positioning of the bars on the back of the door. 
  • 16 of 18: Turning the dial one notch to the right (clockwise) will move the bar one notch to the left (as seen through the window). 
  • 17 of 18: If the bar needs to be moved to the right, then the dial will need to be set the same number of notches to the left.  However, the dial cannot be turned counter-clockwise; so you'll need to make note of the starting position of the dial, decide where the dial should be set instead, then turn the dial clockwise until the correct position is entered.
  • 18 of 18: Continue walking between the control panel and the window until all four bars are lined up.  When you've found the correct answer, it will not be necessary to walk back to the window and check -- the  door will automatically open.
