The Longest Journey Hints

How do I get rid of the guard in the headquarters?

  • 1 of 3: There are several things you need to do to take control of the premises. First, get him out of the headquarters for a little while.
  • 2 of 3: Then, do something in there that will make him leave permanently.
  • 3 of 3: Get out of there once you use the pills, then go back to see if he takes the bait.  (He won't leave the security headquarters until you're watching him from just inside the grate at exit )
