The Ward Hints

What should be done with the Hibernation Chamber?

  • 1 of 11: There are several spots that can be accessed on the Hibernation Chamber.
  • 2 of 11: Besides the front screen, look at the Maintenance Panel on the left side of the bed.
  • 3 of 11: A Maintenance Key fits in the little hole on the cover of the panel.
  • 4 of 11: If you don't have the key yet, find it in the Storage Room along with some other things you'll need.
  • 5 of 11: Behind the panel cover is a full gas tank. Remove it to expose the wiring.
  • 6 of 11: Working with the wiring, Bloom can divert the electricity so he will be awake during the hibernation.
  • 7 of 11: The gas tank does not contain air. It contains liquid nitrogen to put the occupant to sleep.
  • 8 of 11: Bloom doesn't want to go to sleep, but the panel must contain a tank of some sort.
  • 9 of 11: Insert the nearby empty tank in the place of the full one.
  • 10 of 11: If the buzzer is still going off, try inserting the full gas tank and exiting the panel. Then return to the panel again, remove the full tank, and replace it with the empty one.
  • 11 of 11: When the buzzer quits, Bloom has completed this task successfully.
