How do I repair the towers?
The first tower has a broken motor. Take that to Edison in Olympus to fix it. The second tower has a broken lens. Take it to Tiffany so he can repair it. The third tower has been overtaken by weeds. Find the 1893 ship and get the weed killer from it. Take it back to the tower and spray it repeatedly to kill the weeds.

Where is the polar laboratory?
The coordinates are 53N, 112E.

What do I type in to align the towers?
Look at your pocketwatch to get the time. Then type in the time of day in military time with no punctuation. For example 12:00 PM = 2400.

How do I grow the martians?
Go to Elysium and talk to Cheshef. He will tell you that you will need fertilizer and seeds. All the ingredients for the fertilizer and the seeds can be found in the greenhouse at Hellas. Xichak will tell you to go get the water by getting a chunk of the icecap and bringing it back in a bucket. By the time you get back, the ice will have melted and you will have water. The door to the seed cache is rusted shut, so use the oil from the shack outside of the Syrtis Major Mine entrance. Once you have water, fertilizer, and seeds, move to an open, dirt-paved area of town and dig holes to plant the seeds. Once they're planted, put the fertilizer on them followed by water. It takes nine game days for the pod to grow. Split it open with a knife, and a martian body will fall out.

How do I get the iron ore for Carnegie?
You need to take a barge to the Syrtis Mine entrance. Make sure you choose the barge that has rails running its entire length. Get one of the mining carts there and put 7-8 loads of iron ore in the cart. Load the cart onto the barge and sail back to the Olympus Mine entrance where Carnegie is. You have to push the cart up to the metal railing at the entrance to the Olympus mine. Once it touches the railing, Carnegie will acknowledge that you have brought the iron ore.

How do I fill the Canals with water?
The coordinates for the station are 18N, 176W. The valve there that releases the water is stuck. You need to have Chsheket walk through the steam to the valve and turn it. The gates will open and the canals will fill with water.

The fuel was stolen - where do I get more?
Go to the 1893 ship. There is a broken strap laying on the floor from the barrel restraints that had been broken. Take the broken strap to Olympus for Theodore Roosevelt to look at. He will ask you to get a microscope from the greenhouse so he can examine the finger prints. He'll then tell you that Grigori Rasputin stole the fuel. Grigory has been holed up in Argyre for the past year. So now you have to go to Argyre.

How do I make Chsheket's metal body look more human?
Roosevelt will suggest that you speak to Sarah Bernhardt about making it look better. She will recommend that you coat her with the rubber compound used on the canal mechanical men and then give her a human color by using rouge berries. Rouge berries are only found in Argyre, so now you have to go to Argyre.

Everything seems to revolve around this Argyre place. How do I get in?
In order to get to Argyre, you must have Chsheket join your party. Then, fill the canals with water. Speak to Admiral Peary about iron, then get the iron ore for Carnegie to make cannonballs. Load the cannonballs onto a barge with a cannon. Sail the barge as close as you can to the east wall of Argyre, then blow the wall down with cannonballs.

How do I free Lenin from the Dream Realm?
Divide the rubles into 25 piles of 10. You should have 3 rubles and a gem left over. Give the 3 rubles and the gem to Mr. Lenin. Mr. Lenin will thank you for distributing the wealth evenly and the Avatar should wake up. If that doesn't work, try burning all the rubles with one of the candlesticks so that no one gets anything. Then, just give the gem to Mr. Lenin. Hear his thank you speech and wake up.

How do I get Tiffany out of the Dream Realm?
Pick up the rug. Continue on until you get to the china shop. Use the rug, and the bull will follow you. Run outside the shop, then run back in and shut the door. Talk to Tiffany again and he will thank you. Wake up.

How do I get Wyatt Earp out of the Dream Realm?
Destroy the proto-martians that appear. You will "wake up", and see that you really have killed your own companions! Search their bodies, and you will find money (this should be your first clue that they are not really your companions). Walk along the path, and you'll realize you are still asleep. You will arrive at a horse auction. Talk to all the horses. The one named Marshall is really Wyatt Earp, bid on him and buy him. Once you've bought him, tell him he is free and wake up.

How do I free George Melies from the Dream Realm?
If you only walk on the dark squares, the walls will not move. Get the dreamstuff near the wall and it will turn to oil. Use it to oil the door and you and Melies can escape.

How do I free H. G. Wells from the Dream Realm?
Walk along the path. Pick up dreamstuff until you have a pistol, a cannon, a sprayer, and some paint. When you get to the open area, Wells will tell you that he is being attacked by invisible monsters. Use the paint on the sprayer. Track the monsters by their footprints, then spray them with paint to make them invisible. Kill them all, and wake up.

How do we make a Heartstone?
Cutter should tell you about a metal woman in the other room of the lab. The metal woman's body won't work for a Martian transfer until a Heartstone has been cut for her. Cutter can make a Heartstone if you bring him some raw Azurite. Go talk to Hearst and he will give the Azurite for a camera. Bring the Azurite to Cutter and you will get the Heartstone.
