The Watchmaker Hints
How do I use the red and blue phials?
1 of 10: At some point in the game, you'll find a document telling you EXACTLY what to do.
2 of 10: In particular, you can get this document in the van in the garage. Once you find it, look in the log for instructions.
3 of 10: You need to heat one of the phials and cool the other. Where in the castle might you find things typically used for heating and cooling?
4 of 10: You can do what you need to do in the kitchen.
5 of 10: First, go into the fridge, and notice the freezer (with adjustable temperature).
6 of 10: Put the red phial into the freezer, close it, and adjust the temperature to -25 degrees.
7 of 10: Now, look at the microwave (where the cook used to be standing).
8 of 10: Put the blue phial into it, and hit the power button, and adjust the temperature to 70 degrees.
9 of 10: The phials will be ready immediately. Take them out of their respective locations and use the full phials on the mold (from the Arcanum). You'll get several medallions.
10 of 10: To use these medallions, go check out the courtyard area behind the greenhouse.
