The Longest Journey Hints
How do I get rid of the guards in the tunnels?
1 of 8: First you need to take control of the headquarters.
2 of 8: There is something inside the headquarters you can use.
3 of 8: It shows a map of the station.
4 of 8: Look on the wall to the left!
5 of 8: The red lights show where the guards are. Click on any of those lights to tell the guard to take a break, or choose the "report" option if you change your mind.
6 of 8: Only one guard can be off-duty at a time.
7 of 8: To tell a second guard to take a break, click on the one already on break (in the upper-left of the map), and choose the "order off-duty" option. It may seem odd to order a guard "off duty" when he's already on break, but the effect will be to order him back _on_ duty.
8 of 8: You can then tell a new guard to take a break.
