The Ward Hints
How can I redirect the drones?
1 of 5: Watch them move on the screen back and forth, up and down. They turn around at the red force fields and at the closed grates.
2 of 5: You'll be working with the 4 red force fields in different ways depending upon where you need to go. Clicking on a red force field turns it to blue (off).
3 of 5: Be careful not to let them down to the new grate you just opened. Keep the very bottom force field off until they're out of the way.
4 of 5: Plot your path. Then see if you can get the drones to stay in another section, blocked by force fields.
5 of 5: Then you can open the force fields to unblock the pathway to your objective.
