Simon the Sorcerer 3D Hints

What do I do at the Reservoir Control Hut?

  • 1 of 24: First, you'll need to get inside.
  • 2 of 24: Once inside the Reservoir Control Hut, your objective is to open the reservoir outside by moving the rope inside.
  • 3 of 24: The wheel is very heavy.  You won't be able to turn it directly, so you'll need to figure out another way to move the rope.
  • 4 of 24: The rope might move by itself, if it weren't attached to the wheel.
  • 5 of 24: Think of a way to either detach the rope...
  • 6 of 24: ...or destroy a portion of it.
  • 7 of 24: You'll need to burn a section of rope.
  • 8 of 24: Look around for something to help you start a fire.
  • 9 of 24: Use the petrol (gasoline).  It's standing on the floor of the Reservoir Control Hut.
  • 10 of 24: Don't try to start a fire on the wheel.  Pour the petrol on the pulley instead.
  • 11 of 24: Now all that's left is to start the fire.
  • 12 of 24: How did you start a fire before?
  • 13 of 24: You could use the magnifying lens...
  • 14 of 24: ...if it weren't so dark in here.
  • 15 of 24: Think of a way to brighten up the room a bit.
  • 16 of 24: When you were outside the Reservoir Control Hut, did you climb on the roof and see the hatch there?
  • 17 of 24: You won't be able to open the hatch from the outside...
  • 18 of 24: ...but you can open it from the inside.
  • 19 of 24: If only you could reach it.
  • 20 of 24: Use the chakara on the trap door.  Aim at the latch.
  • 21 of 24: The trap door won't just drop open by itself -- you'll need to open it.
  • 22 of 24: You still won't be able to reach it from in here.
  • 23 of 24: Go outside and open the latch from up on the roof.
  • 24 of 24: With the sunlight shining down from the hatch, use the magnifying lens on the petrol-covered pulley.
