Chapter 2: Hunrath part 2

A: Destroy the red laser beam:

Workshop: The Railcar:

Leave the C.W house and now go to the workshop

Press the red button and ....... the door opens.

Enter and go to the back and then go up the stairs. Upstairs you see the device that the blue beam emits ..... it is a railcar ..... The railcar hangs high and has to be lowered, but we will do that later. 

There are 2 places here where you can discover things. Via the gangway you come to the 2 workbenches. Continue on the rails, then right and via the gangways down to the 2 workbenches.  On the right workbench there are 3 notes and there is a button. If you press that button, you will see,  behind you, a hologram of Farley ...... this is apparently C.W's first experiment with the holograms.

Read the 3 notes, especially the smallest note is important because you read something about the code for the back door of the Farley house.

The note tells you that the code for the back door is Farley's house number but backwards. Farley's house number is 1436, so backwards this becomes 6341

On the left workbench there is a test set up of the blue laser. With this laser you can destroy holograms. 

You can try this out here . On the other side you can see a third workbench and to the left of that workbench there is a hologram of a stone next to the workbench. 

Use the button to turn on the blue laser device and then turn the plateau and the blue beam to that hologram and ........that hologram is then destroyed .......

Remember that this is also possible with the blue laser of the rail cart. Walk back up via the gangways and then continue to that 3rd workbench on the other side ..... you reach that workbench via the stairs .... 

On this 3rd workbench there are 2 notes and a book ...... Read the notes and scroll through the book.

Then turn around ...... you will see that rail cart hanging again ...... A button is placed on the left post. Walk to the button and press and ....... The rail carriage drops down and lands in the "hangar".

Turn around again, walk back up the stairs and then return to the rail. Via a plank you can walk to a large device. Walk towards it. 

In the middle you see a kind of drum with a handle, pull the lid open

You can then connect a cable in the opened drum. You do that by sliding the left part to the right ....... You can do that now or later on at the endgame of the game, I've done it now.

Then walk back down the plank. The rail goes from here over a wooden "bridge" towards the Water tower. Walk across the rail .......

 Beyond the water tower you can not go any further because the rail sleepers have disappeared, but that does not matter because you take the turn there to the left, to the Water Tower.

Walk to the water tower. On the tap there is a yellow water hose and that hose goes to the Tree of Life, which stands behind the rock wall. Pull the tap  handle down ......... 

You will hear that water will flow through the yellow hose ..... Make sure that the crane handle is lowered. If you release the lever too early, it will shoot up again and no water will flow through the hose.

Walk back over the rail back the workshop and then go down the stairs, back to the ground. Go back outside and then enter the "hangar" where the railcar now stand. 

Click on the little "door" of the rail car to enter the rail car

You are now in the rail cart, the blue laser beam is on and you see a screen showing where the blue beam is aimed at. But you can not drive with the rail car when the blue laser is activated, you must turn  the blue laser of first

  • On the top right you see a green switch. With the green switch you turn the screen on/off

  • You drive the cart with the WASD arrows that you see on the screen. 

  • You can click the WASD arrows, but it's better to use the WASD keys of your own keyboard.  

  • In the middle of the screen you see a blue button, above the W-arrow,  this is to turn the blue laser on and off. 

  • You can see on the screen what you are aiming at with the blue laser. 

  • You can only drive if the screen and the laser are switched off. 

  • You can drive back and forth with the cart. 

  • The side with the laser is the front side of the cart. 

  • If you are in the cart you can also turn around,  but you can not turn the blue laser backwards. 

It's not to difficult to drive the rail cart and to aim the blue laser at something you want to destroy, but it might take a little bit of practice to get the hang of it

The first thing that you must do now is to destroy the red laser that is piercing its red beam into the purple wall. You can do this in a few places. You can do this here, inside the fenced off area or you do it outside the fence. I'm doing it here inside the fence. 

Destroying the Red Laser

Turn the green switch of the rail cart  to turn the screen of. Then click the blue button to switch the blue laser of. Then drive a bit ahead, until you have passed the first switch in the rail and then stop. 

Stay in the railcar but turn around so that you look backwards .....If it's ok, the switch is set to the left, so if you ride backwards you will take the cart to the left bit of rail

Now drive the rail cart backwards on the left rail and up against the fence .... Turn yourself around again so that you look ahead ....... 

On the left you see the red laser that you have to destroy

Turn the green switch on and the screen will turn on again. Press the blue button to turn on the blue laser. 

You can now aim your blue laser with the WASD keys. So you have to turn your laser to that red laser. 

So turn your blue laser to the left and then up to the red laser and ....... the red laser will be destroyed. 

When you have destroyed the red laser then switch of the blue laser and the screen of the cart.  Look at the sky and you will see that something has change. The purple wall is still there but now you can go through it, but we will do that later. Now take the rail car out of this fenced area with the railcar, until you have just past the switch in the rail. Stop the railcar and get out by clicking on the door of the rail car. Your railcar now stands outside the fenced area on the rail

B: the back door of the Farley house:

Now go back to the train depot where the generator locomotive is located. So back to the dam and then follow the path to the train depot behind the dam.

Then walk between the wagons to the back of the train depot. There you see the façade of a large building. Walk up the ramp to the right and go through the door, it is only a façade that stands there.

Turn to the left and walk out, turn right and walk backwards. At the end you see a stone arch to the left and a wooden tunnel to the right.

On the left, the path continues under a stone arch. The tunnel on the right brings you to the back door of the Farley house.

Later you come back here to take the path on the left, but now you go right into the tunnel. So enter the tunnel on the right. You come to a door with a combination lock on the right. 

In the workshop you've found a note about Farley's house number 

The note says that the code is the house number of Farley backwards. Farley's house number is 1436 so the code becomes 6341. 

So set 6341 on the combination lock and then click on the door and ........... the door will open

C: Inside the Farley house:

Look around, at, the table in front of you is a book that you can read. 

In the room on the right, you will find a bear and a cassette recorder in the windowsill, click on that recorder, on the tape and then on the play button.

You get a whole story and you can also reverse the cassette but it is only background information.

In the left room there is more to discover, you see a slide projector and 2 screens. You have to pull down the right screen.

If you pull down the right screen, see the number 15, rotated over an angle of 450. On the left screen is a map of the village.

Go to the slide projector. You see a switch and 2 handles to turn the projector. There are 2 slides in the projector.

Turn on the projector. On the first slide is a large circle and a small circle. Turn the projector so that the large circle coincides with the map of the village. Then look where the small circle falls on. 

You can now turn the projector to the other screen only with this slide, you can not do anything with it. 

Slide the other slide in front of the lens and turn the projector to the right screen, maybe you need to move up and down with the screen until it is right.

Make, by pressing your spacebar, a picture of the right screen, because you will need it later .... it is an indication for a certain numbering. 

An a desk are a number of notepads and a book that you can read for background information.

Go to the front door and open the lock, open the door. You have now opened a shortcut through Farley's house to the train depot and the garages

Step out through the front door. 

You need the rail cart again because you have to blow open a few blocked mines with the blue laser. You left the rail cart on the rail outside the fence, where the workshop and C.W's house is. You can now immediately pick up the railcar, but it is more convenient if you first explore the route that you have to drive with the rail cart. Then you know where to drive and you can also immediately put all the rail switches in the right direction.

You are standing outside in front of the front door of Farley's house. 

Walk forward and follow the rails to the left/right crossroad before  the house. Follow the rail to the right and you come to a cross in the rails.



On the cross go left  and follow the rail up the hill until you reach a wooden door in a fence.



Walk to the wooden door and open the door ..... Behind this fence you see, on top of the hill, a blocked mine tunnel

You have to blow away the rocks in this tunnel with the blue laser of the rail cart, so you have to go back to the rail cart and then drive it back to this door in the fence. On the way back to the rail cart you can then check if all the rail switches are in the right direction and if that is not the case then you can set them to the right direction.

Go back through the wooden door and follow the rail back to the cross and continue straight ahead until the switch at the 1st mine tunnel

Stand in front of the mine entrance and look at the switch .... Check whether the switch points in the right direction, so it is turned to the rail that goes to the cross, so to the left rail

Probably the switch is already OK, but if that is not the case, pull the switch lever to turn the switch in the rail to the left rail. Then go over the right rail to the next switch.

This switch stand before  a blocked tunnel. The rail goes through this blocked tunnel. 

 You need to unblock this tunnel Check whether the turn is in the right direction, to the left rail. If that is not the case, then you pull the lever

On to the next switch, before the Martinell building. 

This switch must be to the rail that goes to the previous switch. so you can drive the rail cart to the blocked tunnel.

This were all the switches you need to reach the wooden door with the rail cart, so look for the rail car and get in

Drive the railcar ahead to the tunnel behind the next switch, but do not drive into  that tunnel. Stop the cart when you have just passed the switch 

Turn yourself in the rail cart ..... You look over the back of the cart. You are now going backwards with the rail cart, so press your S-button and continue backwards until just past the blocked tunnel.

 Stop when you are just past that switch on the left rail. Then turn around again ..... You look at the front of the rail cart again and on your left side is that blocked tunnel



You do not have to do this now, but you are here now so why would not you blow those boulders out of the blocked tunnel now. 

And besides, it is a good exercise .....Drive the cart back a bit, until you can see the blocked tunnel on the left.

Then click the green lever and turn on the blue laser ..... Use the WASD buttons to turn the laser to the blocked tunnel and ....... you blow the block of blocks out of the way with the laser.



Turn the laser off again and click the green lever. Turn around again and drive back again, so continue to the next switch .... Drive on as far as the mine entrance. 

Then turn around again and continue forward, over the left rail, to the cross and then continue straight ahead to the wooden door in the fence, on top of the hill ........ 

You have to find the right place where you have to stop the railcar so that you can aim the blue laser through the opened wooden door at the boulders in the tunnel entrance.

When you in the right place then you activate the laser and click the green lever .....

.. then use your WASD buttons again to aim the blue laser at the boulders in the tunnel entrance and ............. the rocks are blown up ........

 Get out of the cart ..... you can not do this because you're standing in front of a boulder with the cart, so drive the cart forward or backwards a bit, until you can get out. 

Run through the wooden door and then into the tunnel and ......

..... the short tunnel ends at the purple wall but because you have destroyed the red laser you can now step through the purple wall

So step through the purple wall and...... you end up in a new area above the demolition site. We continue in:
