Episode 5 Hint Walkthrough

Dangerzone

In my quest to end my never-ending boredom, i figured i would make a hint walkthrough for episode 5

please note that the last tag of each section is more or less, a direct solution for that puzzle....... direct solutions are marked with an *, and if this thread is not enough help.... you can start a new topic, or reply to this one

as always, try to complete a puzzle yourself before seeking a walkthrough, because most of the fun in these games is figuring out the puzzles for yourself........... although i have also listed several "play it again moments" that i think other people may have missed (although i am sure there are more than the ones i listed here)

questions and comments are always welcome as well

Enjoy.....

Act One - Welcome To Reality 2.0?

How do i find an electron surge?

look around the neibhorhood, you are sure to find a lead

sybil has an intresting new job, if only you could talk to her...

(play it again moment)

try to shoot lenard again, and use the bug on him

(play it again moment)

find out what happened to the old office carpet, talk to max on the street,

sybil has gone nuts because of those goggles, how do i help her?

it looks like sybil is hypnotized, how do you break a hypnotic trance?

hit her on the head, you should already have something you can hit her with

use your boxing glove....

what? you cannot reach her, it looks like you need to try something different

you need a way to hit her from across the room, have you looked around the neibhorhood for something that can help

*

jimmy has something that may be of help.....

*

How do i get that cannon?

jimmy will not SELL to cops.....

you will just have to take the cannon off of him

he shoots you if you try to touch the cannon, but that cannon is not a automatic weapon....

meaning he needs to reload after each shot

*

quickly click on jimmy after he fires the cannon, while he is reloading it

*

now you have a nonlethal weapon to knock sybil out of her trance

(play it again moment)

try to use the bug on jimmy

So those goggles have something do do with all this, but.......

they are broken and you need to fix them

sam and max fixing something they broke, i thought i would never see the day.... it looks like you need a replacement micro chip

talk to sybil and find out where she got the goggles, then go there...

holy talking computers..... i know, talk with them to hear a funny song, find out what is behind the computer crisis, get a pair of goggles for max, and to get that all important replacement chip

are you still here, use that chip on sybil's broken goggles and go "experience" Reality 2.0

(play it again moment)

hold off on asking about the internet and ask the other 3 questions first........... you will get a secret dialoge option where sam and max will tell the computers they are under arrest

(play it again Act One)

answering machine, mr. spatula, click and shoot out the window, find the recent addition to the closet, try to watch tv, find out why the bill of rights are on the dartboard, find out what heppened to the doughnut box, check up on hubert, see why they finally changed the calander, see the new bulletin board messages, check out all 4 garage cans, find out where max wants to be put to rest, check out boscos new item in stock, check the new sludgie flavors, find out why four of five dentists agree, check the local news, find out what happened to their car, talk to max in all 5 locations, and just click on everything again

Act Two - The Longest.......Weapon To End All Weapons

Wow, this place is weird..... but cool at the same time

um, yeah.... look around and take in the scenery, there are a lot of puzzles in here..... and you can start some of them now, but you cannot complete most of them untill later........ but first things first you need a more powerfull weapon, and that +2 sword is out of our reach for now, so we will just have to settle on boscos sword for right now

(play it again moment)

talk to sybil and max (in the real world) after walking around in reality 2.0 for a while

how do i get boscos longsword

you need five coins, and if you have already looked around you should know where some of them are...

(play it again moment)

get into a fight with ante biotic, and watch all of the floating ads the fly around behind the street

Those pesky coins
(General hints, read first)

three of them are above the street, but they are too high to reach......

if only you could jump higher

you can..... this is a game, and in a game you can mess with the laws of physics (if you know how)

have you been to the control room

these computers seem to control things, but i cannot make them do anything

you need to force them to change

some real world items are quite different in reality 2.0...... surely you have something you can use

*

the computer bug causes the control computers to malfunction, you can use the bug on all four computers but only 3 of them do anything to help

*

(play it again moment)

use the computer bug on the virtual pong machine in the control room

Coins floating over the street (read coin general hints first)

you need to mess with gravity

*

use the computer bug on the virtual arcade computer in the control room

*

now you can reach those coins, be sure to recollect the bug when you are done

Jimmy's coin (read coin general hints first)

jimmy is here in reality 2.0 as well..... and he has a coin

but he is hiding in his hole..... and shooting at it is not working

what if you could shrink down and just waltz in there

*

use the computer bug on the virtual automated telephone in the control room

*

but wait, you are too small to climb the steps in front of the building

being small is not easy, it is a good thing that you are not that small in real life

*

take off your goggles and go into the office, then put them back on once you are inside

*

now have fun beating the crap out of jimmy..... by the way, you do not have to exit reality 2.0 again to leave the virtual office

(play it again moment)

click on the virtual phone, mr spatula, and the antfarm in reality 2.0

Sybil's loot (read coin general hints first)

the door is locked in both worlds

it is a good thing that physics can be bent in reality 2.0

light can pass under the door......... why cant you?

*

use the computer bug on the virtual commodere 64 computer in the control room

*

now just slide under the door

(play it again moment)

repeatily click on the digital clock, "lips" audio blog, and the virtual sybil

you should now have all 5 coins, go and collect your mighty sword from its keeper (aka bosco)

(Play it again Act Two)

lick the virtual gumball machine, check out all of boscos potions, check out his "hidden" potions on the shelf behind him, click the "cloak of visability" and check out the other items on and behind his counter

Continued in post number two.....

Dangerzone

Act Three - anti-ante biotic

ok so we have a weapon, is this going anywhere.........

i dont know, lets have some fun..... look at how ante biotic is looking at you, lets kill her (we are sam and max after all)

Ante biotic keeps beating me....

ok, we need something to block her attacks...... armor perhaps?

hmm, no aromor anywhere....... something else will have to do

is there anything impregnable on the street

dont you hate pop ups..... security programs do too

that jack in the box is a nice source of pop up ads, but you cannot reach the box itself (ironic eh?)

what if there was a way to turn the pop ups off

*

there is a way to turn them off, just click the virtual pong machine in the control room

*

dont forget to turn them back on after you have the box

Ok, i can block her..... but my wooden sword is useless against her armor

you just need a bigger sword then

that +2 sword stuck in the sign seems badass enough to pummel her

How do i get up on sybil's roof......

if you are following this walkthrough, you should already know how to get up there

we need to mess with the laws of physics again

*

back to the control room........ and use the computer bug on the virtual arcade machine

*

um, the sword is stuck..... how do i free it

maybe it just needs to be loosened up

something slipperly and gooey should do the trick

do you know where you can find some goo?

have you been to boscos and seen the slime monsters

you cannot pick up a living slime monster

you need something to kill it

a wooden long sword will do the trick

now go and kick her into the next..... erm, where ever important computer programs go when you delete them

(play it again moment)

keep getting into fights with ante and the blue slime to listen to all of max's "pep" talks, and keep clicking on the "quip" options to hear all of sam's verbal attacks and defenses..... and kill a few blue slimes to hear all of their victory conversations

Act Four - Breaking The Bank

so now we have free reign over all that is E Mail........... sets send a boatload of spam, and then get to destroying what ever is left of the internet

killing ante biotic and using that +2 sword was fun, but imagine how fun a biological weapon would be.......

bosco has something right up our alley, but.....

he is stuck in reality 2.0, lets take advantage of this and steal some stuff while he is hypnotized

take his binoculars, you never know when they could come in handy...

ok, so how do i wake bosco up.....

i have lost count of how many times we have done this, hit him over the head..... use the boxing glove

what, you cant reach him......... this is becoming a pattern, try something else

that sword is a peice of junk, and we no longer need it.......... so give it back to bosco

oops, you did not hit him that hard did you? (at least now he is free)

Hitting people over the head never gets old, but he will not show me his password tattoo for his bank account

do you need his permission to look at it? you can just trick him.... like always

tell him to look behind him.....

can you see it, look closer

*

use the binoculars on him while his back is turned

*

I cant get to the bank because of this stupid firewall

the firewall is actually very smart, after all.... it did not let you through....

it does not like your car...... you just need to figure out why

you need to change the color of your car

the internet wizard can give you something that will help

it is not matching the colors of your car to the other cars............. but the colors that you make your car do need to match something else

licence plates are quite useless in virtual reality........... or are they?

*

look at the first 3 letters of your cars licence plate............ each letter corresponds to a color
R = Red, G = Green, P = purple, B = Blue, Etc... the first letter is what the front of the car should be, the second is the middle, and the third is the rear of the car.......... the colors that your car needs to be changes each time you play

*

i opened his account, but how do i move all the money into boscos account

you need to just keep clicking on the box with the most money in it, i will get a step by step guide next time i play the game, although this puzzle is easier than it seems

(Play it again moment)

go back to the bank after you have given bosco his 100 million and try to access his account again....... and click on each box at least twice, some of them have multiple commentaries

now go back to the real world and get the biological weapon to complete your arsenal

Act Five - Crash And Burn

ok, what do i do with the biological weapon

remember how items in your inventory are different in reality 2.0

here your biological weapon has become a virus

lets give it to the internet...... what's the worst that could happen

*

use it with the mailbox

*

(play it again moment)

try giving the virus back to bosco, and to jimmy in the virtual office

What year is it?..........

2007, why do you ask...... it seems that reality 2.0 has crashed and the internet is pissed at you (go figure) we need to fix this before she crashes

Ok, how do we do that when we cannot even see.....

yes you can, you still have eyes..... so you can read (or at least you SHOULD be able to)

ok so we need that respect for human life to give to the internet, but getting it is not easy

it has been swallowed by a corperate presance, so clearly we need to find something to make him cough it up

how about something nauseating....

you can give a boscos to the corperate presance, but he will just gobble it up with no effect

what if we could do something to the boscos to make it even more nausteating.....

sam and max will not touch the lake of cuteness or any of the saturated kittens, so we need to collect of the the cuteness with something

it seems that there are only 3 items in the text adventure that you can pick up, the +2 sword, the foil card, and boscos............ one of them must be usefull

*

collect a boscos and use it on the nauseating lake, then give it to the corperate presance, and he will cough up the respect for human life......... then just give it to the internet

*

(play it again moment)

try giving the respect for human life back to the corperate presance, and try giving to to max......... you can also get max to say one of his "can we keep it lines" during this scene

so there you have it........ reality 2.0 in all its glory, if you see any typos, or find any other play it again moments...... please post them

fajerkaos

Thanks very much... For some reson I had a very hard time to figuring out how to get out a sword that was stuck in nothing.

Dangerzone

wow, the number of wiews on this thread have more than tripled over the last few hours, and they made it into a sticky..... i must have done something right...... i guess i will have to make one for episode 6 as well, so keep an eye out for it

i have a few more play it agains for you.....

try throwing something away in either boscos trashcan or the virtual can by the office in reality 2.0......

try shooting ante biotic with you ray gun

try talking to people when you are tiny, and try getting into the desoto when you are shrunk as well.....

you can also talk to the virtual computers while the bug is on them, its hilarious bro'......

click on the mailbox after you have defeated ante biotic

you can also ask sybil about the googles first, and than ask where she got them before you have learned about the cops.... she will say a diffrent line that is much funnier than the one you get by asking about reality 2.0 and beta testing first......

and last but not least, try using the rat cannon on max and bosco

try shooting max and the computers with your revolver as well

Dangerzone

ok here is a 3 step solution for the bank puzzle and the last of the play it again moments i have been able to find

simple three step solution to the bank puzzle

make sure bosco is pointing toward gradma bosco, first click on digital buissness so that the arrow is pointing toward it, then click on hollywood to move 500 million into it, and finally click on grandma bosco.... both 500 million ammounts will move into her account and then into boscos

Here are the last of my play it again moments...... enjoy

try to talk to people when you are tiny, try to use items in your inventory and items in the real world when you are small/thin, and try to drive the car when you are small/thin

try to bribe ante biotic

try to mail something in reality 2.0(by trying to give something to ante biotic and using the item directly on the mailbox) and try to mail something in real life

use the bug on max and sybil

try to use the boxing glove to break down sybils closet door in both reality 2.0 and in the real world, and repeatily click her visitor counter

hear all of "not hugh bliss" tag lines when you change the color of your car

try shooting and using the meagaphone when blocked by the fire wall

try hitting bosco's A.I. with a sword after you have knocked him out of reality 2.0, and try using the software disease on him

try to give jimmy his coin back..... repeatly

try to use a sword on jimmys hole

try to use the boxing glove on the blue slime

keep using random garbage during the fight with ante biotic (in both defence and attack modes)

try using the +2 sword on one of the control computers

try using the software disease on one of the control computers in reality 2.0, and try using the biological weapon on the computers in regular reality

try using the magnifier in virtual reality

try giving bosco his bonoculars back, and keep telling him to look behind him to hear all the things sam says is behind him

try giving stuff to bosco in reality 2.0, and to his A.I.

Talk to max while at the bank

try attacking everything in the text adventure with the +2 sword, repeatily try "getting" everything including the corperate presance, and try using everything with everything else because everything has at least one interaction line with everything else

try using objects on the respect for human life before it falls into the chasm, and once again after it has been coughed up by the corporate presance (he will not eat it again if you leave to get another boscos/nauseating boscos

Buuga

I've played the reality 2.0 again for just explore everything. I might got to a "dead end" 'cause I knocked Bosco out before stealing the binoculars. Now he's awake on the real world and I can't get them. I have tried to leave and enter bosco's but no help. Dead end?

Brendan

No, you're not stuck.

You can't take the binoculars while Bosco is watching.

Tell him to look behind him, then take the binoculars.

Buuga

thanks.. the same old trick worked again I haven't saved the game and I've no idea when autosave did it.

Wickywoo

BTW, that's a TRS-80, not a C64

Dangerzone

actually it is an osborne 1

i just called "curt" a commodore 64 because it is a more well known computer, so people would easier understand what i am talking about..... i already stated this in another thread (although i forget which one)

tallrob

If you get this far, don't freak out.........and it's a funny hommage to the old text adventures. It can be solved.;)

Jekill

I liked one play it again moment very much that doesn't seem to be listed here. try

to use the virulent disease with the condiments in real bosco's

Esett

I have tried hitting Jimmy about 500 times now. You really can not imagine the frustation. Is there any hint as to how you actualy get to hit him?

P.S. Extremly dissapointed by the first puzzle.

jmm

Replied on the other thread

About atoms- lectron's orbit around the nucleus and proton...?atoms have electrons(negative) and protons(positive)...and they said that opposite attracts each other. The nucleus of an atom contains protons. The electrons now orbit around the nucleus? why is it like that? why isn't the electron attracted by the nucleus eh it contains the protons?

Asha behum

As far as I know, electrons are in the outter cells and neutrons & prontons are inside neculse, Is it?
