The Alpha Door

How do I get rid of the searchlight?

  1. You'll get caught if you try to damage the searchlight.
  2. The searchlight isn't the problem. The people using it are.
  3. Maybe you can divert them.
  4. Did you notice that the roadrunner picks a fight with the German shepherd?
  5. The people in the blockhouse move the searchlight to see what all the commotion is about.
  6. If you leave right after the roadrunner hops up on the dog you won't get caught, but neither will you make it to the tower before the searchlight is moved back.
  7. There's a clever way to delay the fight.
  8. If there are crumbs left in the bag, dropping the bag will keep the roadrunner occupied eating crumbs long enough for you to get back to the tower before the roadrunner picks a fight with the dog. Just in time for you to climb the ladder when the searchlight moves away.
  9. WAIT at the dog until the roadrunner appears and starts pecking on the dog. DROP THE BAG OF CRUMBS. The roadrunner will start eating the crumbs. NE. NE. NE. NE. U. U. E. You can also drop the bag before the roadrunner shows up. In this case he'll go straight for the bag and leave the dog alone until he's finished the crumbs.
