Wasteland Hints

I'm trapped! Which button do I press?

  • 1 of 6: You need to press the buttons in the correct sequence to start whatever program it is that you're running.  When you press the wrong button, the sequence restarts (and the doors open).
  • 2 of 6: You need only press 1 button per console.
  • 3 of 6: Obviously you'll need someone at each console to press the buttons.
  • 4 of 6: Disband your party into four groups (watch out for some robots who appear once the consoles are open).  Put one member on each console, and try to figure out the correct order to push the coloured buttons.  This is pure trial and error.  If you get it wrong, just start from the beginning again (I would save another copy of Wastelands before you proceed though).
  • 5 of 6: The order to use the consoles is NW, SE, SW, NE.
  • 6 of 6: The order of colours is Red, Yellow, Green, Blue.  So press the red button on the NW console, then the Yellow button on the SE console, etc. etc.
