Schizm Hints

I've come to a drawbridge that is up, and I can't cross.

  • 1 of 8: As you might suspect, you'll need to lower the bridge -- both sides of it -- to gain access to the village on the other side.
  • 2 of 8: Look around to see if you can find anything that might control the bridge.
  • 3 of 8: It seems that several things in this area are controlled by hydraulics.
  • 4 of 8: Hydraulic mechanisms require fluid pressure -- usually supplied by pipes.
  • 5 of 8: See if you can follow some of the pipes that run from the drawbridge, back to their source.
  • 6 of 8: You should discover that there are two water wheels that control the hydraulics for the drawbridge.
  • 7 of 8: They are located to the left and right of the cave entrance.
  • 8 of 8: Once you have lowered both sides of the drawbridge completely, you will be able to cross to the other side.
