Runaway: A Road Adventure Hints

How do I get to the basement of the bank?

  • 1 of 17: This is another opportunity where brute force is probably the only viable option
  • 2 of 17: You need to smash through the floor somehow.
  • 3 of 17: It would take something very heavy to smash the floor.
  • 4 of 17: Furthermore, it would probably have to be dropped from a great height.
  • 5 of 17: Or perhaps it could just be launched way up in the air.
  • 6 of 17: Somewhere nearby, you should find something capable of launching stuff.
  • 7 of 17: Play around for a bit in Saturn's studio.
  • 8 of 17: Try pulling a lever on the machine in the middle of the floor.  A bucket of paint gets catapulted all the way to the bank.
  • 9 of 17: Go out to the bank and take a look at it.  This might give you an idea.
  • 10 of 17: If you were to put something heavy enough on the catapult, you might just be able to smash your way into the basement.
  • 11 of 17: However, Saturn was pretty ticked off that you messed with his catapult.  You'll need him to leave before you can make any further progress.
  • 12 of 17: Perhaps if you helped him out a bit, he'd leave you alone.
  • 13 of 17: With Saturn gone, you just need to find something massive to put on the catapult.
  • 14 of 17: Notice the giant, rock thing hanging from the ceiling.
  • 15 of 17: Also, notice the crane controls on the pole in the middle of the room.
  • 16 of 17: Use the crane controls.  (Note: you will not be able to use them until you've gone to the bank and examined the bucket of paint you launched.)
  • 17 of 17: Pull the lever on the catapult.  It smashes through the floor of the bank, allowing you to climb through to the basement.
