Introduction
Hello everybody, It has been a long time since i wrote something,
i have been on holiday for while so i like to apologize that e-mail
questions have been answered so slowly..
I wrote this walkthrough because i bought Anachronox and found out that it
is one of the best adventure/rpg games available currently and the other
reason was that there aren?t many walkthroughs on internet of this game...
For little misc. info this walkthrough is based on Anachronox version
1.1
=====================================================================
Anachronox Story
The first artifacts were found about three hundred years ago. Left by some
long-dead alien race, strange mysterious devices were found all over the
galaxy. Dubbed Mysterium Technology (or "MysTech" for short), these ancient
machines are considered prized collectables, even though their purpose has
never been fully understood.
Perhaps left behind by the same mysterious race, interstellar travel proved
possible by planet-sized spheres in space called Senders. By flying toward
one of the spikes on its surface, a ship is shot through a hyperspace tunnel,
and can travel across the boundless reaches of space to another Sender.
Senders have become the hubs of lucrative trade and galactic civilization.
At the center of the universe lay Sender One, and inside the shell of this
titanic Sender floated the city of Anachronox.
Theory has it that Anachronox was once home to millions of quarantined aliens
who slowly died of some sort of horrible plague (Anachronox literally means
"poison from a previous time"), leaving this city to fall to ruins, to be
taken over by the refuse of the galaxy as the center of their nefarious
dealings. Here our story begins
Sylvester "Sly" Boots sat in Rowdy's, a seedy bar on the seediest street in
a section of Anachronox called "the Bricks". After being beat up for not
paying off a debt in time, Boots realizes he's gotta get a job or he's dead
meat. He gets work as a bodyguard, hired by an old man named Grumpos. They
travel to a planet, which suddenly splits in half! Boots is thrown into a
large galactic mystery of who is trying to crush our universe and why. Soon
Sly is joined by his lackey robot, an old flame turned mercenary, his
holographic secretary, and a renegade scientist on a journey across six
planets, trying to find the answer....
=====================================================================
Characters
Information in this section is taken from official Anachronox website.
Sylvester " Sly " Boots [ Main Character ]
===========================================
Age 29
Weight: 195
Height: 6'1"
Eyes: Blue-green
Hair: Dark brown
Skin: Slightly swarthy-white
Weapons: Guns.
World Skill: PickLock
Sly Boots is a private eye with an office on the city-planet Anachronox. He's
a regular at "Rowdy's", a bar in the seediest section of an already seedy
section of the city called "The Bricks". If you ever need his services, check
the storage room upstairs. It's his office.
He's bold, brash, overconfident, and thinks everyone likes him. He fancies
himself a ladies' man, but really isn't.
He claims to have held a lot of jobs and be proficient at everything, but
he actually learned just enough to get him into trouble.
His main friend is a Personal Android Lackey he's had since age nine. PAL-18
is the only one who can stand him, and that's because he has to.
Sly's only other consistent "friend" comes in the form of a Cordicom
LifeCursor, a floating mechanical arrow that accompanies him from case to
case. Inside the LifeCursor lives his holographic secretary, Fatima Doohan.
She keeps track of his quests and other day-to-day activities, all with a
heavy dose of attitude. She was his real, flesh-and-bone secretary until she
was killed in an accident two years ago. Boots digitized her, and now she's
bitter about living the rest of her "life" in servitude.
Boots ran away from home at age 17. He did odd jobs, playing mechanic, handyman,
and ambulance driver before working as a photographer for a private detective
on Cordica. He changed his name from Silvestro Bucelli when he started up
his own detective agency in a ritzy area of Anachronox. When his practice
went south, he wound up as more of a nefarious delivery/bodyguard agency,
with the occasional detective job.
But don't feel too bad for him. He's a jerk.
Grumpos Matavastros
====================
Age: 71
Weight: 250
Height: 4'11"
Eyes: Blue
Hair: White-Gray
Skin: Pale Gray
World Skill: Yammer
Scholar, outdoorsmen, eccentric recluse, and renaissance man, Grumpos
Matavastros is also one of the hairiest men in the galaxy. Former curator
of the MysTech Museum on Anachronox, he now devotes his life to the study
of MysTech--ancient alien artifacts mysteriously scattered across the
galaxy.
He's always cranky, and rarely laughs, unless something excruciatingly
painful happens to someone else.
Despite a chaotic upbringing, Grumpos never had problems defending himself
against childhood bullies with his trusty staff. Given to him by his combat
mentor, his great-grandfather Aloysius Matavastros, his staff has been by
his side for fifty years. All manner of staffheads have graced the top of
the weathered walking stick, which he cherishes like a member of his family.
A notorious pack-rat, Grumpos pays for a roof-access apartment where he has
constructed a corrugated metal workshop. Inside, he continues his obsession
with MysTech. In his spare time, he plays mumblety-peg and tries to solve
the mysteries of the universe.
Did we mention he's as hairy as a hound dog's patoot?
PAL - 18
=========
Age: Activated 20 years ago
Weight: 40
Height: 3'
Eyes: Glowing Yellow
Metal: Gray-white
World Skill: CompTalk
On his ninth birthday, shortly after the death of his father, a wide-eyed
Silvestro Bucelli ripped off the wrapping paper on his only gift. Inside,
he found a gleaming PAL-18 unit.
Built by Cordikids Toys, this Personal Android Lackey (Model 18) was to serve
as his friend, servant, and baby sitter for the next twenty years. Despite
suffering through Sly's tumultuous childhood, and misplaced adolescent
aggressions, PAL-18 has remained his dutiful and loyal friend. PAL doesn't
have a choice.
Cordicom recently released a PAL-21 model. Toy enthusiasts agree that though
the new features do make it a better all-around lackey bot, it lacks the bouncy
charm and playful design of the PAL-18.
Nevertheless, PAL tends to feel inferior to the new models.
PAL-18 currently collects dust in a dark corner of Boots' office, out of
batteries and out of mindshare in a detective's worldview gone sour.
Doctor Rho Bowman
==================
Age: 28
Weight: 135
Height: 5'9"
Eyes: Brown
Hair: Dark Brown
Family: Gerald Bowman, 65. Valeta Bowman, 66.
World Skill: Analyze
When Dr. Rho Bowman's controversial book, MysTech Awake!, first hit the
SenderNet feeds two years ago, it was an immediate success. Eschewing
technical jargon for layman aesthetics, its espousal of radical science with
