Syberia Hints

How do I make the barge move through the locks?

  • 1 of 6: There must be some kind of console to operate the locks.
  • 2 of 6: It is across from the train, on the other side of the canal. Go one screen towards the left wall from the canal overpass.
  • 3 of 6: If you haven't already done so, lower the water level by pressing 42* on the console. The water level decreases and the lower lock opens up.
  • 4 of 6: Inform the couple on the barge. Choose "LOCK" from the Dialogue Notebook. They will drive the barge through the lock.
  • 5 of 6: Now raise the water level so they can continue.
  • 6 of 6: Punch 41*. The lower lock closes, the upper opens and the barge navigates through.
