Companions of Xanth Hints
How can I keep the lab from flooding?
1 of 5: There's a way to control the well so water doesn't spill out of it.
2 of 5: Did you look at the buttons on the wall of the lab?
3 of 5: This isn't very clear from the game, but those buttons control drains on the well that let water out.
4 of 5: Only two of the buttons are functional, and only one of them will help.
5 of 5: Press the blue button to open the upper valve, and the lab won't flood.
