Rex Nebular and the Cosmic Gender Bender Hints

So how do I take care of that basic goal?

  • 1 of 13: In case you don't remember, that goal is to flood the city. Specifically, you want to get the water through the North Sea Window.
  • 2 of 13: The only way you're going to do that is to blow it up.
  • 3 of 13: Did you find any explosive devices yet?
  • 4 of 13: You surely remember someone who was experimenting with explosives.
  • 5 of 13: Dr. Pyro on the woman's island?
  • 6 of 13: You will need to make explosives on the island.  See the hints about the woman's island to see how to do that.
  • 7 of 13: You should have the charge cases filled now.  The charge cases can be found in the storage area of that island if you need them.
  • 8 of 13: But you'll also need a way of getting those cases to explode.
  • 9 of 13: Have you been through the locked door near the entrance to Machopolis?  If not, there's another set of hints in the previous section that cover getting through the door.
  • 10 of 13: There you can find detonators to attach to the cases.  You're almost ready, but I'm sure that you wouldn't want to be near that bomb when it blows up.
  • 11 of 13: Have you seen any timing devices that could help you?
  • 12 of 13: There was one on your ship (in the engineering section) that you should have found.  If you don't have it yet -- I hate to say this -- there's no way to get it now without restoring/restarting your game.  Sorry.
  • 13 of 13: Put the timer on the charge case and you're ready to set the bomb.  But don't do that quite yet, because you still have to find a way out of this place. Read the next set of hints for more information.
