A New Beginning Hints
How can I turn off the microwave oven?
1 of 9: The cook is not willing to turn it off. Therefore Fay doesn't even have a conversation line to ask him to.
2 of 9: You have to sabotage the microwave.
3 of 9: What will destroy the microwave when cooked?
4 of 9: If you just said "an egg", maybe you remembered Zak McKracken, but that's wrong: metal does the trick!
5 of 9: Find some metal and a way to get it into the microwave.
6 of 9: This is one of the meanest puzzles in the game, as there is no hotspot that hints for the solution: In your cabin, you can enter the washroom after opening the door at the rear right side. After entering the washroom (normal movement, not even the >> signs) a new hotspot appears.
7 of 9: Get the file from the toilet bag.
8 of 9: Get an apple pie from the cook and hide the file in it.
9 of 9: Tell the cook that the apple pie is still cold and he will put it into the microwave... Boom!
