Still Life Hints

How can I get the other two crates to move?

  • 1 of 11: The crane can't pick up both of them together...
  • 2 of 11: ...but could pick them up individually.
  • 3 of 11: You will need to separate them.
  • 4 of 11: They are bound together by a heavy metal chain.
  • 5 of 11: Did you find anything around here that might help?
  • 6 of 11: Some cutters could prove useful.
  • 7 of 11: You will still need to get out to the crates to cut the wires.  And that dog is still out there.
  • 8 of 11: Remember, you still have two crates that can be moved around.
  • 9 of 11: To climb onto the crates, you will need to walk Gus back outside the tiny shack, and around to the other side of the building.
  • 10 of 11: Have Gus walk to the edge of the ledge, then click on each crate to walk him across the crates toward the two chained crates.
  • 11 of 11: Once you've used the cutters on the chains, you are ready to return Gus to the tiny crane control building.
