Zak McKracken Hints
What do I do in the pyramid?
1 of 21: You need to know how to use the yellow crystal.
2 of 21: Find the dot that looks like it's near Cairo and teleport there.
3 of 21: Try that lever on the left wall.
4 of 21: Stairs open up when you pull it. Go down them.
5 of 21: There's the same old sarcophagus chamber.
6 of 21: Go back up and look at the base. Look familiar?
7 of 21: It's the bottom part of the device!
8 of 21: Don't go on until you've gotten something from the sea at DMT.
9 of 21: The glowing object is the next part of the device.
10 of 21: Put the object on the base.
11 of 21: Don't go on until you've gotten something from the eye carving near Lima.
12 of 21: That's as Zak, not as a bird.
13 of 21: Put the candelabra on the glowing object.
14 of 21: This should look just like the device, without the crystals.
15 of 21: So put the crystals on the crystalabra (as it's now called) one at a time.
16 of 21: Try turning both of the switches.
17 of 21: One person can't keep both switches on, apparently.
18 of 21: But two people can each take a switch.
19 of 21: Bring Annie into the secret room via the stairs.
20 of 21: Let each person take a switch, and turn them both on.
