Fixing up the tower

The supply crates.

Fix the pressure machine

• Take the following supplies (by searching the crates inside the tower):
  • 4 Valve wheels
  • 3 Metal sheets
  • 4 Coloured balls
• Head up the first staircase on the west side of the tower.
• Fix the pressure machine on the north side of the room.
• Complete the puzzle (turn the valves until all holes are plugged, pull the levers when necessary).
• Once all the holes are plugged, make sure to turn the valves until all of the pipes are filled with water. You should see a message that says "The machine is working!" when you have completed the puzzle.

The first machine is the pressure machine upstairs that needs to be repaired. Once you have fixed it, calibrate it by filling the leaks with the coloured balls. Do this by turning the valves left and right until the ball falls into the leak hole, then turn the valve so the water reaches the top.

Pipe 2: Pull down the left lever, and then turn the 2nd valve left twice. Turn it right until the pipe is filled with water.

Pipe 4: Pull down the right lever and turn the 4th valve right three times, then left once. Turn it right until the pipe is filled with water.

Pipe 3: Lift the right lever back up, and turn the 3rd valve right twice and then left once. Turn it right until the pipe is filled with water.

Pipe 1: Lift up the left lever and turn the 1st valve left twice. Turn it right until the pipe is filled with water.

Fix the pipe machine

The completed puzzle.

• Take the following supplies:
  • 4 Pipes
  • 5 Pipe rings

Fix the cage

• Take the following supplies:
  • 5 Metal bars
  • 4 Binding fluids
• Head up to the top floor of the tower.

• Complete the puzzle. You should see a message that says "The cage is complete!" when you have completed the puzzle.

You will need to fix three bars on all four sides of the Cage. After setting the length/height select "Place Bar" to fix that portion. Once you have completed each side click the right arrow until you have finished the entire cage.

When each side is finished, turn the cage with the right arrow.
