Necronomicon: The Dawning of Darkness Hints
How can I turn on the lights?
1 of 14: The panel containing the light switch sits to the left of the door. No "activate" cursor will appear until it has juice.
2 of 14: A coal furnace can be found in a closet in the far right corner of the room.
3 of 14: Pick up the small shovel from the floor and use it on the coal bucket near it. (Note: I never got an "action" cursor on the bucket, but was still able to get the coal from it.)
4 of 14: Put three shovels full of coal into the open mouth of the furnace.
5 of 14: The coal by itself will not ignite.
6 of 14: Add another kind of fuel.
7 of 14: Pour gasoline on top of the coal. (If you haven't found the gas, find it sitting with the alchemy kit in another room.)
