Wasteland Hints
How do I cross the river?
1 of 8: There's two ways. Easy and hard.
2 of 8: The hard way is simple to find out, just try and swim across. It will take a while for your swim skill to be high enough, but it will happen. Unfortunately, you'll be infected after you cross. This will make the sewers very very difficult to complete.
3 of 8: The easy way is more subtle. First, have you tried walking/swimming across at all?
4 of 8: You keep getting swept away by the current. You need something to hang on to to stop you getting pulled under.
5 of 8: Obviously there's nothing there already you can hang on to. You'll have to provide it yourself.
6 of 8: Is there a skill, attribute or item that could come in handy here?
7 of 8: Isn't there a nice, standard adventuring-type item that would be useful in this situation?
