The Longest Journey Hints

How can I get off the station?

  • 1 of 7: First, you have to find the Guardian -- there's no point in leaving without him.
  • 2 of 7: Now, you have to look for a way to get both of you off the station.
  • 3 of 7: The only way to do that is in a maintenance pod.
  • 4 of 7: When you find the pod, press the red "load pod" button to retrieve it.
  • 5 of 7: If you look at the pod's panel, though, you'll realize that the pod needs a new oxygen filter.  The "panel" is in the center of the pod itself, on the right side of the screen -- not the place where you pushed the "load pod" button. The game will call the panel "panel" when you leave your cursor over it.
  • 6 of 7: Put the filter in the pod, and you're ready to launch the pod.
  • 7 of 7: Press the yellow button to do so, and both you and the Guardian will leave the station.
