Tesla Effect: A Tex Murphy Adventure Hints
How do I get some Valerian?
1 of 10: Well, you're going to have to grow it. Really fast. No, really.
2 of 10: You can find a packet of Valerian seeds in the greenhouse at the far right as you go in --
3 of 10: -- and there's a pot of fertile soil in the library, upstairs in the far right corner. Combine those two items, and you get a tiny sprout. So how to make it grow up really, REALLY fast?
4 of 10: Did you notice the empty box on the credenza on the left in the greenhouse?
5 of 10: Tex says it's a growlight that was recalled because of its amazing power. That sounds ideal, if only the box wasn't empty.
6 of 10: But maybe it's empty because Margaret installed the light. Did you notice the light switch on the wall above the box?
7 of 10: Flip the switch, then put the tiny sprout on the far right side of the credenza, where Tex says the light is the brightest. Pop!
8 of 10: Now you need a way to cut off one of the flowers. The tool you need is here in the greenhouse.
9 of 10: There are some garden shears leaning against the greenhouse wall, in the same area where you found the seeds.
10 of 10: Use the shears on a flower, pick it up off the floor, and you're set.
