Voyage Hints

Ardan must fire the retrorockets to slow the projectile. How do I do that?

  • 1 of 15: There are several part to this puzzle: first, to determine where the retrorocket mechanism is, and how to arm it; second, to find where the retrorockets are kept; and third, to make sure that the retrorockets are prepared properly.
  • 2 of 15: Have you seen any mechanism that, until this point, has not seemed to do anything, or make any sense?
  • 3 of 15: What about the two covered openings in the floor, and the accompanying blue button positioned between them?
  • 4 of 15: The two openings are where the retrorockets must be inserted, prior to activation.
  • 5 of 15: To gain access to the openings, simply click on either circular cover.
  • 6 of 15: Note that one opening is outlined in red, while the other is outlined in blue.
  • 7 of 15: Have you found the retrorockets yet?  If not, where might they be stored?
  • 8 of 15: Check the cupboard; you should find two retrorockets there -- a red one, and a blue one.
  • 9 of 15: Each one is intended to be placed in one of the two openings in the floor.
  • 10 of 15: Each can only fit into one of the openings.
  • 11 of 15: The correct positioning is indicated by color.  The red retrorocket must go into the opening with the red outline; the blue retrorocket must go into the opening with the blue outline.
  • 12 of 15: However, the blue retrorocket is "spent", and needs to be reloaded.
  • 13 of 15: Insert the loaded blue retrorocket into the appropriate opening in the floor.
  • 14 of 15: When both retrorockets have been successfully inserted into their appropriate openings, a green light flashes, and the blue activation button between them will be enabled.
  • 15 of 15: Push the blue button to fire the retrorockets.
