I can't get into Atlantis.. :( (spoilers?)


Ok, I'm on the German U-boat and I've got all the controls at my disposal, I just can't figure out where to steer the boat!

All of the walkthru cheats that I've seen simply say something like "Now just steer towards the hatch and into Atlantis!" Where the heck is the hatch?!? I saw one cheat that said it was in the hole in the rocks on the left side. I've tried steering the ship everywhere possible, but I've still not hit the right spot. :(

Is there a map that points to the location? Is it really on the left side?

I recently started playing this on ScummVM for the DS, and I realized that this is where I got stuck 15 years ago playing it on the Amiga!

I fail at Indy. :(

Heh... probably by now it's too late... but here's the deal. The sub controls are a pain in the ass. Tinker with all the controls until they're all available on the panel (there are uh... 4 different controls I think), now pretty much you just have to keep tinkering with the controls til you guide the sub into the airlock which was for me (and I think it always is though I know somethings change in every playing of the game) as far left as you can go. One of the controls causes you to steer nearer or further relative to the screen. If memory serves that's the wheel. The trick here is to turn it in the opposite direction each time. For instance... say you want the sub to come nearer to the screen and so you turn it left. Well say you still want it to come nearer. Don't turn it left again, turn it right. I know it's confusing, but if you turn the wheel the same direction twice, it will reverse the direction that the sub is traveling.

Once you get lined up with the door it should be no problem to get in. Just change your depth with the toilet plunger and your speed with whatever it was that controlled the speed.

Hope that helps.

I actually had trouble with this for hours.
But what I found out is that the sub should be entering the airlock BACKWARDS!
It may vary with each game, but try backing into the airlock.
Assuming you've found it, of course ;)

If you havent found it, basically just stop the sub whenever it changes screens, and move your cursor around until the word "airlock" comes up.

This is the hardest puzzle in the game. It took me a couple years after my initial attepmt to finish it. Honestly I recommend playing one of the other paths, Fists or Wits and it's much easier getting into Atlantis if you are playing one of those paths. Team is by far the hardest of all the paths.

Strange.. I don't remember this bit at all?

You must have chose the Wits or Fists path. There's a TEAM path where Sophie accompanies you for your adventure. You can select your path by answering Sophie's questions properly when she reads your fortune after you find the Lost Dialogue.
