Tesla Effect: A Tex Murphy Adventure Hints
Sewer and Blue Dragon
1 of 9: If you are following the "Out of the Past" path (saying yes to Ariel and no to Taylor) --
2 of 9: -- the next morning, Ariel will give you the key to the sewers in Chandler Avenue, and you'll be automatically transported there.
3 of 9: This first part is a maze, but it's a maze with a rat in it, or rather a morlock. Keep an eye out for that guy and stay out of his way.
4 of 9: The maze is long and annoying, but if you take every right turn, you'll reach your goal fairly quickly --
5 of 9: -- and that's room A56, which has a big white question mark on it. None of the other doors will open, and there's nothing to pick up along the way.
6 of 9: Inside, the Russian woman who left you a phone message earlier talks to you briefly, then takes you to the Blue Dragon warehouse. Huh?
7 of 9: In the warehouse, pick up 15 photo scraps and click on anything with an eye on it to experience a series of flashbacks with you as J.T. Donnelly either protecting or betraying a woman in 1940's San Francisco. Again, huh?
8 of 9: When you have all 15 photo scraps, use them on the empty frame to reassemble the photo ... and give one more bewildered HUH?? to the air.
9 of 9: And that's it. When you've done that, you can leave, none the wiser and a lot more confused.
