Getting the site the first time (to investigate the murder) is easier than
it looks. Make sure to turn left midway down the road before you hit the
garbage.
Starting the generator and repairing the damage requires
a number of tools. You need the wire strippers from the garage in order to
strip the wires and reconnect them properly. You also need to use the
masking/duct tape to tape the spliced wires together, get the gas can in
the garage and fill it with a gallon of gas and finally prime the gas
pump. Once all this is done, you can run along the darkened corridors.
There is a safe behind the calendar in Malcom McDowell's
office.
A number of times you are forced to do counter intuitive
things in order to continue the game. Amongst them are taking the
blood-soaked dagger from the crime scene (like you would implicate
yourself). Raising the stupid mummy from the dead (like, how stupid can
you get? The guy's a dead sorcerer and you know he's up to no good). And
finally you need to take the crystals of power, even though most
right-minded individuals wouldn't touch them or those obelisks with a
ten-foot gauze-wrapped pole.
The water in your canteen should be poured into the hole
in the artifact in the warehouse. That will get you the scroll of life.
One of the most frustrating things can be travel in the mine shaft -
there's little to see, and after the first level you
need to make your way down to the sixth level before you really get to
anything of importance. One of the elevators actually goes down twice -
make sure to use it. After the fourth level you have to use the go-cart,
and you should crash down through the barrier that says keep out.
At the spike puzzle in the start of the tombs, make sure
to grab a stone from the rubble to your right before moving forward.
The water death room requires quick action on your part.
Here is a tip: You need to move one jug, use it, the rope and the plug in
the floor, and realise you can fit in the other jug.
The four statues room can drive you to distraction.
After bringing the spike up by hitting the secret button then pulling the
arm to lower them, go over to the statue to the east (if the one you
climbed down from is the South statue) and climb up and jiggle its head.
It may take a number of tries - the hot spot is darn near invisible - but
you can knock off its head, which will allow you to climb over the spikes
in front of the other statue and move onwards.
