Kharon4a
Yet another point'n'click on-line adventure game. Will we ever get tired of them? Maybe, but not for a while yet. Many thanks to Pondus for suggesting Kharon4a in the comment thread for Droom as the new adventure game du jour. Kharon4a has the usual "escape the room" basis, but there are four of them, and they have a genetic engineering theme. Also the game seems to be Anglo-Norwegian. Quite a bizarre background for a game, but the trickiness is pretty addictive. Hopefully help and advice will once again be dispensed in the comments if required, starting with me as I think I've almost completed it but I've got myself a bit stuck.

Ok. Can anyone help? I've unlocked all four rooms and collected and used every object I can find. But I'm not sure what to do next. The last thing I used was the lichen. The only object I have left is the file. The only equipment I can find that I haven't used is the "biotopicator" in room G (the garden). I guess my questions are:

1. How do you/can you use the biotopicator?

2. What action is necessary to complete the game (i think I've just about done it all but I'm bit lost now)?

I'm not even going to click on the link, I remember how many hours I lost the last time...

The light switch is the large yellow and black square on the wall with the electricity flash on it.

OK I'm basically stuck where Graeme is-I've used the lichen & cell sample, but I need a coin to operate the kidney thing. WHERE IS IT?!?! (sorry about the caps, i'm confusticated)

btw a hint for the codes: There's always a better view from up-top

or just solve the computer things

i'm completely lost...i'm stuck in the room with the war-gates...don't know what to do!getting dizzy in here!lol

:
DraegerMKV - If I remember rightly the coin is on the floor in the lobby area (where nexus is stuck).

Comment 10, Wednesday, March 17th 2004 05:47:00 AM

Graeme

:
Nexus - I think you need to restart the game (I hit this problem as well). Basically if you are in the lobby area and you don't have a code to get thru a wargate you're stuck (i think). Restart the game and give the answer to the multiple choice question on the computer in the room you start in to get the first code.

graeme: thanks, I'm now stuck where you are

Does anyone know how to open up the archive unit G77? where is the keycard?

And also, I'm wondering what to do w/ the biotopiticator, and that weird thing in the middle of room C

Comment 12, Wednesday, March 17th 2004 06:30:00 PM

ohh wait I just found the keycard :-)

YEAH I JUST BEAT IT!!!!

the question is: who will you save?

WHERE IS THE KEY CARD?????

Comment 15, Wednesday, March 17th 2004 07:17:00 PM

:
The keycard is on the floor in lobby (as is the coin).

If you look REALLY hard at the main page (kharon4a.com) you will find something that will help you...sneaky webpeople

:
I'm totally lost.. I've done this a few times now but I can't get anywhere. I turned on the lights, got the bacteria, implanted the eye, and got the email, and then I just get stuck in the lobby like Nexus. I read the other post but I don't know what multiple-choice question you're talking about.. just a little nudge in the right direction would be great :)

Comment 18, Thursday, March 18th 2004 09:29:00 PM

Graeme

:
Jay: You need to answer the question posed on the computer in the room you start in before moving into the lobby to get the code to the first door (C) out of the lobby. If you want to cheat look at the picture I've used to illustrate this post (see above) - it's a MAJOR clue.

Comment 19, Thursday, March 18th 2004 10:03:00 PM

Jay

:
Thanks for the help.. weird, I beat the whole thing (seems rather easy, actually), but I have no idea what happened. Is there a plot at all? I kinda figured it would be explained, but nothing.. and I also had quite a few items that I never used (bacteria, file, one of the two keycards from the lobby, and a bunch of other stuff). I activated the artificial womb in room C (still not entirely sure how I did it, I think it was the bacteria from the first room that did it), and then it told me that I was a guinea pig for an anti-aging drug, and to pick what age I wanted it to start and what age I wanted it to end.. then it told me I had a genetic defect and I had to either pick to save myself or save my friend.. and then the game ended..? Did I miss something here?

I wish I had your luck. I'm going to replay at the weekend when I've got some time as I got totally stuck first time around.

Wow jay that's really wierd, I think i see how you did that, but if you want the full experience, try to find out how to use each object before you go into that womb thingy. If anyone needs hints just ask.

ummm...i have the bactoil, the coin, and a banana!? i don't know how to put the coin in the organ dispenser...help!

Does this have ne point. I have put in the sample in the machine. I have found the rock, put it in. Then found the pipe and fixed the water pump. Put in the oil bacteria. Then got the virus, ate the banana to cure myself. Found the keycard, got the files. Found the coin, got the kidney. Opened the freezer and got the sample. Nw nothing is happening! All i have in my file, is the folder of info. What Do i need to do to complete it!??!?! Is it anything to do with the hidden room, behind the mirror, which I cant seem to find? If so, where is it?Help, please.

Comment 24, Friday, March 19th 2004 03:54:00 PM

:
AHH! that was it, put the file of info into the womb, then chose my age etc, killed my friend, Surivival of the fittest and all that, and bingo, job done! No way near as good as crimson room, tht gt me truly pissed off. I didnt really care about this. Oh well, thnx for the help above.

Put the file into the womb??? That was what I was missing - ta!

Sabrina

:
I've collected all I could find... but where is the file???

Comment 27, Monday, March 22nd 2004 01:26:00 PM

Graeme

:
The file is in room 'C' - to the left, just as you enter the door. There's a load of filing cabinets there, and it's in the one that's standing on it's own.

:
Did anyone get to the secret room in room A? I couldnt find it...

:
Secret room?????

Comment 30, Wednesday, March 24th 2004 08:42:00 PM

Davian

:
the secret room you're refering to is just behind the mirror where you find the bactoil. that's all it is. but i have a question...i'm diseased and i need a banana, lol. where do i find it. oh, and maybe the disease made me blind because i found the coin in the lobby(which isn't working in the machine) but i don't see any keycard on the lobby floor. please help

Comment 31, Monday, March 29th 2004 07:53:00 PM

Davian

:
nevermind

Comment 32, Monday, March 29th 2004 08:34:00 PM

Andria

:
how do i put the coin in the machine.. :(

Comment 33, Tuesday, March 30th 2004 03:17:00 AM

Davian

:
to use the coin you need to give yourself a disease and then cure yourself first. but you don't need to do any of this to beat the game. you can just go straight to the womb if you already used the keycard to get the file.

Comment 34, Wednesday, March 31st 2004 03:21:00 PM

Allyson

:
can anyone tell me where the pipe is?

Comment 35, Wednesday, March 31st 2004 04:32:00 PM

Graeme

:
Can't remember where the pipe is, but I know it's sitting in plain view. It's possibly in room C on the low units at the far end of the room, I don't have time to replay to double check at the moment.

Comment 36, Wednesday, March 31st 2004 09:11:00 PM

Amy

:
I seemed to find everything, except I don't know where is the pipe to be fixed? I did find the mirror, but couldn't get in the room behind it. The other problem is, when do you need to use the banana and coin(to get an organ)? is it after you are informed that you're infected after putting your file in the womb? Although I think this game looks good but the plot isn't good enough, I still want to beat it very much!

Comment 37, Thursday, April 1st 2004 05:53:00 PM

Graeme

:
The pipe needs to be used in the garden. there isn't a room behind the mirror, just an object, click on the right of the mirror to open it and get the object.

:
I can't get the virus!!! have everything else, and used it but cant contract the virus!!

Comment 39, Sunday, April 4th 2004 01:14:00 PM

Draegermkv

:
to get the virus (which you dont have to do to win,) set the special storage thing in room C to a temp of -70, and then open it and get the red vial inside. Go to room G and put the vial in the depositor thingy-Tadaa you've got a rare virus in you now!

Comment 40, Monday, April 5th 2004 08:35:00 PM

I'm Confused!

:
Okay, I just found this game (among others) after I FINALLY got out of the crimson room. I've been going around in circles but I think some of what I've read will help me out.

My Ques: How do you EAT the banana? DEPOSIT the coin? How do you TOSS the Bacterial oil in the dispenser???

I know some are not necessary to complete, but I cannot 'release' any items so far!

Thanks for the help!!

LovingAFWife

:
Ok, I am completely losing it. I have looked all over the lobby and do not see a keycard. I saw the coin though, which was right there. Someone help please??

Comment 42, Thursday, April 29th 2004 11:27:00 AM

I'm Confused

:
Loving: The key card is a strange item. The first time I started the game *bingo* there it was! The second time I began the game I couldn't find it if my life depended upon it. Then all of a sudden it appeared...on the floor towards the bottom of the screen.

I don't know what I did, but I think you have to complete/try other things before you can get the card. Like perhaps going in and out of doors, entering the room that requires the card? I don't remember because I quit a little while ago.

I think I'll give it another whirl tonight!

:
hey...im just starting...so there are some doors right...so im lost there coz i dont know the code in the doors..hey graeme..can u pls help me or anybody...help!!!!tanx

Graeme

:
There's a big hint to the codes in the picture I used to illustrate this post (see top of page). If you want to get the codes yourself use the computer that features in each room (this means you need to start over if you are already in the hallway and didn't use the computer in the room where you started the game).

:
you mean the weird kh computer thing? but it just asks the same question over and over again :S btw how do we crack the codes? this thing is so confusing.

Comment 47, Tuesday, June 1st 2004 07:45:00 AM

Graeme

:
The computers ask the same question until you get it right so they're pretty easy to solve. Alternatively at least 3 of the codes can be read in clear text in the pic at the top of this page.

on their main page you can highlight below the game and there is a complete walkthrough.
