Beneath a Steel Sky Hints
How can I get past the old man in the power plant?
1 of 7: You will need to create a distraction for him.
2 of 7: Even though he's asleep, he's supposed to be watching out for any problems with the power plant.
3 of 7: So create a problem.
4 of 7: You can create a surge when you press one of the buttons on the right of the room.
5 of 7: You can create an even bigger one if you press two at the same time.
6 of 7: Or at least if you have some help to press two.
7 of 7: Ask Joey to press the button on the right and press the left one yourself. As long as you time your actions to occur simultaneously, you should be able to create a distraction.
