The Mystery of the Nautilus Hints

I can't get out of the decompression chamber.

  • 1 of 7: Remember the purpose of a decompression chamber is to allow for the equalization of pressure between where you came from (outside the Nautilus) and the rest of the ship.
  • 2 of 7: After you've entered the decompression chamber, you are at the same pressure as the outside.
  • 3 of 7: Once the hatch is locked, you will need to equalize the pressure to match the rest of the ship.
  • 4 of 7: Look around the chamber for a way to do that.
  • 5 of 7: Look in the left corner of the room.
  • 6 of 7: Note the chain there.
  • 7 of 7: Pull (click on) the chain to equalize the pressure, and allow the door from the decompression chamber to open.
