Schizm Hints

I've found the drawbridge controls, but can't get the bridge to fully close.

  • 1 of 11: Each time you operate the plunger, the two sides of the drawbridge will lower a certain amount.
  • 2 of 11: You'll need to find a way to adjust the hydraulic settings, to make the drawbridge close completely.
  • 3 of 11: If the amount is not exactly correct (i.e., if you have not set the controls correctly), the drawbridge will return to its open position.
  • 4 of 11: You'll need to determine how to set the controls to make the drawbridge close completely.
  • 5 of 11: You'll also have to find a way to operate the hydraulic wheels that control the drawbridge and the plunger that closes it -- at the same time!
  • 6 of 11: This looks like another job for a joint effort between Sam and Hannah!
  • 7 of 11: Move one character to the plunger that controls the drawbridge; move the other character to the left hydraulic water wheel.
  • 8 of 11: Experiment with the wheel, and then switch to the other character and use the plunger, to see what happens.
  • 9 of 11: With some trial-and-error, you should be able to get the left side of the drawbridge to close fully.
  • 10 of 11: Move whichever character is controlling the water wheel over to the second water wheel, and continue the trial-and-error process.
  • 11 of 11: You should be able to get the drawbridge to close completely with enough trial and error.
