Stuck!
I'm in the red water area with the rats and can't get out.
I tried swallowing one of those blue pills. A spider egg appeared over the big lava pit, but I can't pick it up or do anything with it. Then it disappears. I haven't found anything that looks like a clue for the number panel with the broken six, and I can't climb back out of the area via the slope.
Do I need to go back to an earlier save and get something I missed?
Hi there, Take the hint you got, shuffle the numbers a bit and use
the BIGGEST spideregg to throw down the pit. When it gets stuck, jump down ...... I'm sorry Taffers, She's my friend, so I handed her a hand ....:sly:
I bet she already got it ...
BTW: I killed the rats with
the acid flasks. Has someone else did this too?
I never read about it here in this thread :weird:

Those rats are very poor sewer rats.
Sewer rats can swim for a long time under water. These can't. Just stand in the water close to the platform and let them jump at you into the water and drown. However, Gloria's solution is pretty cool :)

Bjack: those rats never got into the water or followed me there. They all just stayed up on their platform.

I killed the rats with sword...

Ok tried every combination (I think)
gas, short cut, fire, bursts,etc... Created everything but could not make a hole to the vault.

I & many people have had problems with the pipes to break into the vault.... :erg: but the following works fine for me. From the start - ideally before having experimented with any other combinations:
1 Insert longest stepped pipe in pipe hole in ceiling (left-end of control wall)
2 Insert short straight pipe into lowest pipe hole of the 3 (opposite right-end of control wall)
3 Small square ON/OFF switch should be in OFF position.
4 High circular valve should be turned CLOCKWISE (ie handle pointing to the TOP)
5 Large UP /DOWN switch should be set to DOWN (green light above it will light)
A red glow should come out of the end of the stepped pipe and the wall will explode within a few seconds.
If I had tried out lots of unsuccessful combinations, then occasionally, I could still get it to work with the combination above - but not guaranteed. If it failed I would then play around with the controls in 3 and 4 above - and maybe take out and reinsert the pipe in 2 - but always 1, 2 and 5 needed to be as above.
There is no need for the other 2 pipes. Also the electrical switch behind the glass just makes the light fall down from the ceiling! - a Sterlino joke ; ) .

Right off, I want to say THANK YOU to STERLINO and CONGRATULATIONS!
I'm getting stuck a lot, but totally loving this mission!
Thank you, Gloria! I feel like a real dummy, and of course, went thru all my readables again and found the hint for this area before coming back and reading your reply. It worked just like you said!
I like how you dealt with the rats - maybe I'll go back to a previous save just to see how that works!
This mission is an explorer's DREAM! :thumb:

I *think* you must activate the machinery first, though (you will hear when it is ON).
But I might be wrong.
If not:
short pipe into the upper position and U-pipe into the ceiling and play around with the switches.
However make sure NOT to play with the switches too fast, since they seem to get out-of-sync if put to OFF/ON/... too fast. If you do it too fast, the switch-position may indicate 'OFF', but the corresponding gauge may indicate 'ON'. (Not sure if this is important, but I think it is better to mention it)
Make sure to take step 5 LAST.
Then should follow the sequence provided by Saggital, I guess.
Hell, I can't tell either what exactly needs to be done.

I'm sorry Gnartsch, but this isn't the way to do it. :erm:
The way you described just sets off some firebeams in that space.
I did that the first time.
I mentioned it already in a spoiler and Sagittal said it already:
Put the S-shaped pipe onto the spot near the ceiling, on the left.
Put the lever near the ceiling in the middle of the room to the north.
Don't touch the on/off button. I should be in the off mode.
Click on the lowest highlighted spot on the right to put the pipe in it's right place and then use the lever near the red light. The light will turn green now and something will happen.

Jeanne, you need to use the key on the small box on the wall (I think). Then you are able to use the code that opens the vault.
You don't have to do anything with the rays.
