Physicus Hints

How do I turn on the lights?

  • 1 of 7: Notice the wires that lead to the wooden cabinet.
  • 2 of 7: Open the cabinet by clicking on the knob.  Sometimes the game doesn't give you the "use hand" cursor, but it should still work.
  • 3 of 7: Do you have anything that could power this electric circuit?
  • 4 of 7: Like a battery?
  • 5 of 7: But it's dead.  It needs to be charged.
  • 6 of 7: There's a charger in the courtyard, through the door with the red button.
  • 7 of 7: Scan the charged battery into place and the lights are on.
