The Watchmaker Hints

How do I get into the Old Wing?

  • 1 of 10: Talk to people about it.  You'll find out that a select few people have a key to the wing.  Perhaps you can get a key from one of these people.
  • 2 of 10: If you pull some strings, you can get the supervisor to give you his key.
  • 3 of 10: Have you figured out how to work the keypad near his office yet?  If not, that's where you want to start.
  • 4 of 10: Once you can get into the secret lab, try and find something in there to give you some negotiating power.
  • 5 of 10: In particular, press the red button on the metal box, and take the bag of blood inside.  Look at the container with the human heart.
  • 6 of 10: He'd probably be anxious to keep these frozen body parts under wraps.
  • 7 of 10: Talk to the Supervisor.  Ask him about the stolen organs (as Victoria).
  • 8 of 10: He'll get mad, and you won't make much progress.  He says he can't get into the lab.  Perhaps you could prove him wrong.
  • 9 of 10: Remember where you got the combination?
  • 10 of 10: "Use" the photo of Jude on the supervisor.  He'll give you a key to the Old Wing.
