GATEWAY II: HOMEWORLD


INTRODUCTION


This walkthru gives explicit instructions on playing GATEWAY II

to a successful conclusion. It does, however, assume you have

read the Game Manual and are familiar with the various methods

of controlling your actions. This walkthru is based on the IBM

PC floppy diskette version.


Special thanks must go to CIS Gamers BigBad Mama and Stephane

Hui Bon Hoa who tested the accuracy and usability of this

walkthru.


OPENING SCENES


GATEWAY II begins with you being called out of your rich early

retirement to help investigate an artifact that has been

detected in our solar system, a little too close for comfort to

Earth. Is it a Heechee or an Assassin artifact and why is it

there? To make things still more uncomfortable the Assassins are

worshiped on Earth by a sect of very active fanatical

terrorists.


THE ADVENTURE BEGINS


The game starts with you settled in your living room in your San

Francisco penthouse apartment.


Head south-west into your bedroom. Take the matchbook from the

bedside table. Pick up the fax on the bed and read it. You learn

about the activities of the Phoenix sect, the fanatical

worshipers of the Assassins and the Gateway Corporation's take

over of the planned manned exploration of the Artifact.


Return to the living room and wait.


You are summoned by a Gateway executive to help in the Artifact

mission briefing. Wait. You receive a message from an FBI Agent

warning you that Phoenix sect operatives are coming to kill you.

Quick action is called for!


PART 1: ESCAPE


Burn the trash in the trash can or put the lit match to the

control unit.  Then head south east into the Foyer. Go south to

the stairwell. Head east up the stairwell.


The aircar rescues you and whisks off to the Conference at the

space launch base.


CONFERENCE ROOM


Before you know it, the base is under attack by the Phoenix

sect.  Miraculously, you are saved. Now, move quickly if you

want to stay alive!


Take the dead terrorist's radio. Pick up the piece of paper on

the table.  Take the terrorist's mask and hand grenade. Put the

mask on and then read the paper.


Listen to the terrorist radio communications and go out to the

Engineering Lab.


ENGINEERING LAB


Unplug the cable to the robot arm, take the tuning fork, and go

down to the Research Center's Tram Station


TRAM STATION


Wait for a tram to arrive. Get inside the tram. Wait for the

tram to stop at the next station and get out at the Mission

Control Station


MISSION CONTROL


Go up to the Mission Control. Examine the specialist. Read his

white badge.  Examine the control console. Enter A552, select

Aquila Mission, initiate the Auto Launch sequence and use the

authorization code written on the piece of paper, AERIE. You now

have 30 minutes before the automatic launch.


Go down to the tram station. Take a tram to the next stop, the

Launch Pad.


LAUNCH PAD


You've heard, via the radio, that the terrorists are going to

use the trams to get to the launch pad in time. You need to

damage the tram system. Pull the pin on the grenade and then

drop the grenade in the tram station.


MECHANICAL ROOM


Go up to the Mechanical Room. You need to pipe fuel to the

booster rockets.  Replace the blue pipe's sensor with the red

pipe's sensor and pull the lever. Go up in the elevator.


GANTRY PLATFORM & SHIP


Go in to the ship and then on into the Flight Deck. Sit in the

command chair. Wait for the launch.


You now contact Gateway Enterprises and tell them of your

intention to carry out the Artifact mission. You go into

cryogenic sleep for the trip out to the Artifact. When you

awake, you are close to the Artifact. It draws your probeship

in....


PART II: THE ARTIFACT


Head out to the aft section of the ship. Open the medikit

cabinet, and take the hypo unit, autodoc and vial. Open the hull

door, and leave the ship.


Open the bulkhead door. Head north until you reach the Cargo

Bay, then go up into the Storage Room.


STORAGE ROOM


Here you see a very sick Diana Tolson. Put the autodoc on Diana

and examine the readout. She has been poisoned and has an

infection. Examine the hypo unit and set the blue dial to 4

(antitoxin) and the green dial to 4 (high dosage). Push the

toggle and inject Diana twice. Then change the blue dial to 3

(antibiotic) and inject her twice again. Wait for Diana to

recover.  Talk to Diana to learn information about her and

Jack's exploration of the ship. Take the bowl. Open the blue box

and take the crystal rod.


Go back down to the Cargo Bay and head east until you reach the

Terminal Room.


TERMINAL ROOM


Open the access panel then plug the crystal cube into the

crystal matrix.  Examine the control console. Talk with Miki.

Ask her how to get through the locked bulkhead door. Push the

other buttons, if you're interested in the other computer

programs' stories. Click on the button in the top left corner to

exit the computer screen.


Head west, back to the Cargo Bay, then go north-east to the

bulkhead door.  Enter the code you got from Miki on the keypad

to open the door. Continue north-east to an obelisk room. Touch

the portal with the crystal rod and go north through the portal.


FIRST ZOO: BLOB, DINOSAURS, LIZARD


Collect some ooze in the bowl. Head north to the spiny plant

growth. Take a twig and head south. The blob will stay wrapped

around you, harmlessly. Go north and wait for the blob to make a

way through the spiny plant for you.


Head north-east through the gap to the tree. Climb the tree.

Take, then drop, a fruit pod on each of the three dinosaur

things. Wait to recover from your exertions and your fall, then

follow the lizard to the north west. Pour the ooze on the stalks

and take a crystal egg. Head west and then exchange the crystal

egg for the crystal rod with the lizard. Make sure you pick up

the crystal rod.


Go east, and head through the portal (touch it with the rod

first). Head north, via an obelisk room, into the corridor. Go

along the corridor to the next obelisk room and portal. Examine

the obelisk. Make sure you have the codes written on the piece

of paper. Then head north through the portal.  (From this point

on instructions on how to get through the portals are omitted.

There are no exceptions to the method used to this point. You

always have to use the crystal rod.)


SECOND ZOO: ANCIENT MAN


You find yourself underground, so go up to a meadow. Head

north-west and take a branch from the forest. Return to the

south-east. Put on the dead animal skin and cover yourself with

mud. Head north-east to the ape men.  Then head north to the

cave entrance. Enter the cave to the north-east, pick up the

leather thong and head north further into the cave, to the ape

man chief. Show him the crystal rod. Examine the vial, then toss

it on the fire.


Having won the respect of the chief with your mastery of fire,

you are now challenged to show your mastery of the hunt! Attach

the hypo unit to the spear. Set the blue dial to 6 (sedative)

and the green dial to 5 (maximum dosage). Throw the spear at the

saber toothed tiger.


Head back to the cave, south east, then north east. Make a torch

by setting light to the branch with the fire. Go north, then

north-west to the portal.  Head north though the portal.

Continue north until you reach a lab.


THIRD ZOO: GENETIC INDUCER & NASTY INSECTS


In the lab, open the container and take it. Now, head north to

the obelisk room. Examine the obelisk. Go north through the

portal. Set both the hypo unit dials to 4 (high dosage,

antitoxin). Head north again. Take some green goo from the

trough and put it in the container. After the nasty insects are

attracted inside the container, close it. If you have been

poisoned, inject yourself once or twice with the hypo. Now

return south to the lab.


Put the container on the inducer platform. Examine the inducer.

Follow the instructions for operating the inducer in the GATEWAY

II: HOMEWORLD Official Hint Book (included in game box). Remove

the scorpion-like tail and modify the mandibles to antennae.

Take the cage and return north to the area containing the nasty

insects. Open the cage and drop it. All the nasties will become

harmless. However, you may still get poisoned before they are

all transformed so you made need another hypo injection or two.

Now, head north to the portal. Go through it to the obelisk

room.


SPIDER ROBOT


You will have to act quickly here, so read the following through

before leaving the obelisk room. Head north-west into a corridor

with a door on the left. Open the door and you will see the

robot.  Immediately go west into the room. Release the gun from

its clamp by turning the key, then take the gun.  When the

spider robot appears, shoot its sensor first, then shoot the

robot.  Then head north to the computer room.


COMPUTER ROOM (THE OLDEST ONE)


Open the computer housing panel. The Oldest One is rather

annoyed with you it seems! You must disable him. Remove the

green core. Now go north-west, remove the panel and green core.

Then go north-east and do the same again.  Then south-east,

removing the final green core.


Miki tells you have the Oldest One on the run, but there is more

to do.  Return to each of the computer rooms and remove three of

the blue cores.  Leave one blue core in place. Great! Miki has

opened all the doors in the ship, so you can get into the

restricted areas now.  Oh no! The Oldest One is in the crystal

matrix with Miki now.


Leave the computer rooms area and go south via the Equipment

Room until you reach the Cargo Bay. Then go east to the Terminal

Room. Examine the access panel and remove the crystal cube.


Return west to the Cargo Bay then head north, via the computer

room area, to the Bridge.


BRIDGE


Examine the slip of paper. Write down (really) the Heechee

numbers that you found on second Obelisk (the Ape Men zoo)

(unless you've got a terrific memory for patterns!). Look at the

bridge console and enter the numbers you have written down or

memorized. The Artifact heads for Earth.


When you arrive you are asked to sit tight. Then the Phoenix

sect terrorists board the Artifact. Having identified where the

Assassins are located they plan to take the Artifact and fetch

the Assassins! When you attempt to hide, you accidentally get

into an escape pod and activate it!


PART III


THE KORD COMMUNITY


You land on a very icy looking planet. Pick up the clamp and

compass. Wait.  A Kord comes by and depicts some events you

recognize. Follow the Kord, east, north, then east. You arrive

at the Kord village. Follow the Kord into a dwelling to the

south. The Kords depict some more scenes for you. You see

another Heechee ship crash into this planet and you watch the

Kords' method of finding it and then making a representation of

it in ice.


Leave the dwelling and go east, where some Kords are gathered

around a fissure. Examine the fissure. Examine the dust. The

Kord "tells" you some stories about how to use the white dust

and where it comes from.


Return west to the village, then go south-east to the ice

garden. Take the following carvings: lamprey, worm, ship, gem,

bowl and cutter. Head south to the artist. Show the cutter

carving to the artist and you will receive a new cutter. Show

the gem carving to the artist and he will show you a story of

two Kords who enter a cave with a red glow and how only one Kord

leaves.  Note the configuration of the cave entrance. Show the

bowl carving to the artist and he will supply you with a crystal

bowl.


Return north, then north-west to the village. Head west twice,

then north twice to the rock cleft where the crystal monster

lives. Fill the bowl with water, then go south twice, then west

twice to the Glacier Entrance.


GLACIER


Go west and pour the water onto the floor to see which way the

passages slope. Go north-west. Pour the water again and go

south. Pour the water again and go south-east. Pour the water

again and go north to the center of the crater. Go down into the

pit. Examine the numeric code on the ship carving. Enter this

code on the ship's keypad. This has unlocked the hatch.  Now

open the hatch.  Take the pod from the Heechee corpse. Now you

need to get out of this pit! Open the ship's access panel. Press

the blue button on the corroded clamp, then take the corroded

clamp. Drop the corroded clamp.  Put the clean clamp on the

corroded clamp.  Stand on the clamp, then press the red button.


CRYSTAL MONSTER & ICE CLIFF


Leave the glacier, then go north twice and then east five times

until you reach the cave entrance that you saw the two Kord

enter in the artists story. Enter the cave and go north until

you reach the source of the red glow. Use the cutter to remove

the dead crystal kord from the cavern wall.  Take the kord.


Go south to leave the cave then go west three times until you

reach the crystal monster. Throw the kord at the monster and

wait until the monster dies. Head north. On the way, note the

behavior of the "diggle." Continue north until you reach a cliff

face.  Scrape the ice away from the cliff face using the cutter.

Soon, a diggle comes by. Wait for it to make a tunnel through

the rock. Head north until you reach the mountain hollow. You

realize that this must be a Heechee rescue station. Put the pod

in the impression.


RESCUE STATION


Go east into the machine room. Take and examine the remote

control module.  This controls a robot. Push the bulkhead button

to open the door. Then push the right arrow three times. Push

the bulkhead button again and a door will open in the machine

room. Exit the control module. Go east into the secret chamber.

Examine the alien device and place you hand on the handprint.

Now, go west twice, then north to the hangar. Hit the tuning

fork. Go up into the Heechee ship. Operate the control module

again. Send the robot left then up three times. Push the trident

button three times. Now, return the robot to the machine room.

Return to the machine room yourself. Watch the different colors

displayed on the screen, noting the length of the bar underneath

for each color. Wait until you have seen all six colors

displayed. Return to the Heechee ship. Operate the control

module and look, via the robot, at the screen. Note which color

must be being displayed and exit the control module. Push the

appropriate color button. You are on your way to the Heechee

Homeworld!


PART IV: HOMEWORLD


You are greeted by the Heechee, taken before the council, told

you must never leave the Homeworld, and assigned quarters.


YOUR QUARTERS AND THE PLACE OF LEARNING


Examine the blinking communicator. Note that first your message

is from Raphide. Open the cabinet and take the pouch. Pick up

the pod and put it on.  Leave your quarters and go west to the

Place of Moving. You will arrive in the quad of a large campus,

the Place of Learning.


Go south with the escort. Open the pouch and note the sleeping

powder.  Wait. When the escort leaves his thermos on the table,

put the powder in it.  Wait. The escort will drink from the

thermos and fall asleep for the duration of the game! Now you

are free to come and go as you please. Wait for the green light

to come on then enter the lecture hall to the west.  You give

your first lecture.


Return to your quarters, going east to the trams and then north.

Examine the communicator. You receive a message asking you to be

at the theater at 3:00 p.m. Go back to the campus quad, wait

until 2:55 then go north-east to the theater. (You may go and

watch the show several times, if you have time while you are

waiting, and are interested.) You will meet Macropterous who

will tell you about the White Hand, a religious organization

that sympathizes with you and will help you try to leave the

Heechee Homeworld.


THE WHITE HAND


Leave the theater and return to the city streets by going east

via the trams. Then go south-east and listen to the speaker

telling the crowd about Sterigma and his ancient prophecies.

When the speaker starts repeating himself, leave, going east,

then south. In the garden, read the plaque about Ironweed. Move

the mound of dirt and pick up the Ironweed seeds.


Now, head north until you reach the hangar. go inside your ship

and examine the panel. Select the unmarked code. Your ship will

take to you to a harsh sandy landing site. Wait. When the

guide-thing appears, head north to the Temple of Sterigma.

Examine the stone disks, then turn them as follows: the wings

should point to the sky, the knife should point to the fire, the

plant should point to the water and the hammer should point to

the stone.


You will now go down to the Inner Sanctum and talk with

Exegesis. Talk to Exegesis about Fogram and the White Hand's

beliefs. Then get him to help you with your problems. Ask him

about the three missing components. Ask about each of the

missing components and how to get hold of them. In particular,

ask about the location of a field generator.


THE FIELD GENERATOR


Leave the inner sanctum, and return to the ship. Examine the

control panel and select the unmarked course.


Exit the ship, head north and you will find yourself at an

archaeological dig site. Plant the Ironweed seeds next to the

pillar. Push the red button on the pillar. Look at, then pick up

the shiny object (a Field Science badge) and take the Field

Generator.


THE GRAVITY LENS


Leave the dig site and return to the ship. Select the City

Hangar on the control panel to return to the city.


Go south twice, then head east, then north to the sewer. Put the

field generator in the sewage, then press its button. The sewage

turns as hard as rock. Now you can get across to the maintenance

shaft. Go north until you reach the tube junction. Jump. Take

the gravity lens. Put everything in the pod. Make sure you are

wearing the pod. Now climb up until you reach a tube junction.

Get out of the maintenance shaft and return to the sewer. Push

the button the field generator to release the sewage and pick up

the field generator.


THE NAV DATA CHIP


Leave the sewer and head west from the alleyway. Go north until

you reach the hangar. Enter you ship and take it to the

Administrative Planet. Before leaving the ship write down

(really) the code for the Temple Site from the control panel.

When you arrive in the docking area one of the technicians tells

you about the probes. Go north to the Command Center. Examine

the control panel and enter the code for the temple site, from

your ship's control panel. This will launch a probe and have it

land at the Temple Site.


Now, return in your ship to the city hangar. Leave and head west

to the trams, then to the Place of Learning. Go south into the

lounge and wait until it is time to give a lecture. Return to

the city hangar and take the ship to the Temple site. Visit

Exegesis and talk to him about Solifluction, Raphide and the

TransWarp Drive.  Keep talking to Exegesis until he reveals his

true identity, you know everything you can about Astatine and

have a plan to contact Raphide.


THE TRANSWARP DRIVE


Leave the temple site and return to the city hangar. Go to the

Place of Learning and enter the lounge. Wait for the green

light, then enter the lecture hall. You will give your lecture

and surreptitious message to Raphide. Return to your quarters

and answer the communicator. Talk with Raphide. Raphide should

ask you to help him kill his father in exchange for information

on the TransWarp theories. You should agree.


Leave your quarters and head east to the Place of Seeing. Wait

for it to open. Then head east and wait until the telescope is

in place for viewing.  Look through the telescope and write down

(really) the shape of the Aesthemis Constellation. Wait until

the telescope is at ground level, then leave and go west to the

Place of Learning.


Go west, enter the pattern of the Aesthemis Constellation and go

into the laboratory. Touch the screen and talk to Astatine. Get

him to tell you the code to start the demo and have him

disengage the clasps holding the datastore in place. Take the

datastore. Put on the visor and examine the prototype. Look at

the keypad and enter the code given you by Astatine..  Wait

until the beam of light is straight, then take the prototype.

You will have to restart the demo if you misjudge this. Take off

the visor.


Return to your quarters and talk with Raphide on the

Communicator. He will erase Astatine and tell you about

Solifluction. Now take the ship to the Temple Site and talk with

Exegesis/Conference. Get him to tell you about the Datavaults.


THE DATAVAULTS


Return to your ship and head for the Administration Planet. Go

east from the docking area to reception. Then go south-east. Put

on the prototype and press the stud to activate it. Go east to

the vault entrance. Wait until the robot has removed the shield,

then take the cable coils. Touch the index with the cables. Then

wait for the robot to remove the index shield. (If you like,

skip to the next paragraph, fifth sentence.) Look at the index

and enter "Solifluction." Mmmm, didn't work. Oh, well! Wait for

the prototype to recharge, push the stud, then return to the

ship and go to the Temple Site.


Talk with Exegesis/Conference again. Return to the Data vault

and repeat the process to get to the index. Exegesis/Conference

gave you a clue as to how Fogram may have filed Solifluction.

Fogram considered Solifluction to be a traitor. Enter "traitor"

in the index. Note the code of the datafan. Go east into the

datavault. Enter the datafan code on the keypad. Wait for the

workthing to give you the datafan. Then transfer the personality

in the datafan into the datastore by connecting them and pushing

the download switch. Leave the datafan behind by dropping it. Go

west into the datavault entrance. Wait until the prototype is

recharged and press the stud. Return to the ship and go to the

Temple Site. Tell Exegesis/Conference that you have a

personality in the datastore and he will activate Solifluction's

personality.


Solifluction explains the TransWarp theories and your ship is

modified so it can make the journey out of the black hole.

Solifluction also explains how your prototype can be modified to

make you invisible. The prototype is modified accordingly. Then

you are off to the Artifact.


PART V: ENDGAME


You dock with the Artifact. Leave the ship, open the bulkhead

door and head up the corridor, north-east. Diana will talk to

you and tell you that the Phoenix sect still have control of the

ship and are planning to take the Artifact to the Assassins'

world.


Put on the prototype and push the stud. Go west until you reach

the dream room. Lay on the couch, tell the terrorist leader you

are an Assassin and instruct him to go to the bridge. Head east

to the cargo bay, then south to your ship. Take the radio from

the cabinet. Leave the ship, go north to the cargo bay, then

east to the Terminal Room. Drop the radio here. Go west to the

cargo bay. Wait until the prototype recharges and then push the

stud. Go west to the dream room and lie on the couch. Select the

dialogue path that continues instructing the terrorists and

contains the words "safe. Open."


Return to the Terminal Room and put the crystal cube in the

matrix.


Enjoy the dramatic closing sequences!
