Turn the generator on | Walkthrough Obduction Guide
Last update: 11 January 2017
There is nothing interesting in the room, but from here you can get to the wooden bridge. It will lead you to the elevator through which you can reach the higher floor of the building. Interact with the object and pull the lever. Wait until you're at the top and explore the area. Go directly to the bridge on the left side after leaving the elevator. Climb on the roof of the building and keep going up through the only available path.
By sticking to the right side you will reach the dam and the lever. Interact with the lever and unlock the dam. From now on the water from the upper levels will fall on the lower ones. After using the lever you can close the dam.
For now you won't have anything to do here and the remaining rooms on the upper floor are inaccessible. Leave through the gate and go to the left, to the waterfall. You can walk to the signpost and listen to what Josef has to say.
Notice the above picture. In front of you there is a lever and the dam. The pendulum in the dam is used for manipulating the location of the dam. At first the pendulum will be set in neutral position, but that setting makes it impossible to change its location. Walk towards the pendulum and interact with it. You must make the right part of the dam be lower than the left part. This will allow opening the dam by using the previously mentioned lever.
The only available path leads to the right. Go across the river to the place where on the left you will find an abandoned gas station and on the right there will be single rail wagons. You must activate the electric generator.
Walk towards the wagon shown on the picture. You will see generator's control panel in front of you.
In order to activate the device, in first order you must switch the lever on the screen to the bottom position and turn the upper switch ON. Make sure that the switches are in the right position (shown on the above picture) and go towards the gas station.
The lever of one of the distributors is active and you must interact with it. Your target is to pump the fuel into the generator. Activate the lever and wait a bit. Walk back to the generator.
As you might notice, you don't have access to all parts of the console. The remaining buttons are blocked by a plate. If you press it, it will move to the left and block the devices you used before.
Interact with the switch shown on the picture. In first order set it to "Prime" mode and wait for the tube marked on the picture to be filled with gas. Once the process is over, the lamp in the middle of the console will start glowing with a yellow light. At that point you can again interact with the switch and set it to "Start". Wait for the mentioned lamp to start glowing in green and walk away from the device.
Since the task is over, you can go back to the man who gave it to you and ask for further instructions. The mysterious person will introduce himself as C.W and he will ask you for help in escaping. He will tell you that he blocked the city with the red beam of light that you see on the sky. You must destroy the mechanism.
