Tesla Effect: A Tex Murphy Adventure Hints
What do I do about the mines?
There isn't a lot you can do except avoid them. The red proximity mines you see on the ground, like directly on your left as you enter the atrium, have a red light on top and will beep loudly if you get close. If you ignore the beeping and get closer, they blow up and take you with them.
Avoid the mines altogether by looking for them and walking wide around them. Because they do give out that beep-beep before they blow, sometimes you can run past them before you get got, but be sure you have a clear path before you start running or they'll get you in mid-stride. (As far as I've been able to discover, it's not possible to get close enough to start them ticking and then run away while they blow up without harming you. If you run away, they calm down; if they blow, so do you.)
