The Pandora Directive Hints

What should I do in the wasp chamber?

  • 1 of 14: Did you listen to Tex?  He appears to be allergic to wasps.
  • 2 of 14: So you'll need to get rid of them.
  • 3 of 14: How can you destroy wasps?
  • 4 of 14: By burning them out.
  • 5 of 14: You need to make a torch.
  • 6 of 14: You should have a handkerchief and some lantern oil (found at spot 1 on the map).  Combine them.  Combine this with the spear (found at spot 4 on the map).
  • 7 of 14: Now, lit your torch with the matches.
  • 8 of 14: Re-enter the room, look to the west of the room and use the lit torch on the wasps.
  • 9 of 14: Again, if you're in "Game Player" mode, pay attention to the position of the dot relative to the symbol on the door.
  • 10 of 14: Now look at the walls and in particular at the three Mayan kings.  Remember their headgear, torso and waist.
  • 11 of 14: Look at the altar.  It looks like you'll have to find something to use on it.
  • 12 of 14: Look around to find a pile of tiles.
  • 13 of 14: Combine the tiles with the altar.  In "Game Player" mode, you have a time limit.
  • 14 of 14: It's a jigsaw puzzle in which you have to reproduce the three Mayan kings.
