Beneath a Steel Sky Hints
How can I get past the android?
1 of 18: You're going to need some help there.
2 of 18: From a familiar friend.
3 of 18: You can bring Joey back now.
4 of 18: Remember the medical droid?
5 of 18: Well, it has a slot in it. You can stick Joey's board in the slot to get him back.
6 of 18: Have him go and investigate the android.
7 of 18: When he comes back, he'll report that there's a nutrient tub in the other room. You might be able to create a distraction with it.
8 of 18: Tell Joey to turn on the tap.
9 of 18: But that's still not enough. Look through the grate into the room with the android to investigate the lab.
10 of 18: There's a grate in the floor just next to the spill.
11 of 18: Perhaps you could loosen it.
12 of 18: Go into the lava chamber -- the grate is in the ceiling of that room.
13 of 18: And there's a metal bar that you can pull to release the grate.
14 of 18: All you need to do is get the cover to the lava pit to close.
15 of 18: The lava is part of a heating system.
16 of 18: So turn down the temperature via the control panel.
17 of 18: Then you can stand on the cover and pull the bar. The trap should be set.
18 of 18: Go in to talk to the android, and he'll kill himself when he steps on the grate.
