A Great Mind

Tesla wonders about the odd juxtaposition of Lycans appearing on the United India Company’s front doorstep in Grosvenor Square. Galahad’s response, “Mayfair isn’t what it used to be.” When the elevator arrives at the Tesla Laboratory in the Catacombs of Westminster, Tesla suggests you take a look around…and play with whatever strikes your fancy.

Explore Tesla’s lab

Walk into the lab and veer right to the table (1) with a glowing sphere. Pick up and examine the “War of Currents” flyer featuring photos of Nikola Tesla and his American rival, Thomas Edison. Turn it over to read the note to Tesla from “Your friend, Thomas.”

Next, approach the table (2) in the center and examine the device sitting on it, an old communicator. Galahad calls it “quite an antique.”

Turn left and find the notepage on the table (3) near the wall. It’s covered with complex-looking diagrams that Galahad describes as “all gibberish to me.” Turn it over to discover that it’s all written on the back of a handbill for Aux Belles Muses in Whitechapel, a place to meet “Refined ladies in waiting!” and receive “the regular treat” for just 10 pence.

Complete the TS-27 Tutorial

Now walk over to where Tesla stands at a workbench (4). Pick up the object on the table. Tesla describes it as a device that can convert between Edison’s direct current and Tesla’s alternating current—“quite handy for overloading and incapacitating certain electrical systems.” Its full name is the TS-27 Inverter/Rectifier.

Use the left stick to examine the TS-27 then press when prompted; Galahad opens the case. Tesla invites him to try it on the test array. After Galahad connects the device’s brass clips, you get the TS-27 interface. A small blob of mercury bounces up and down each of the two tubes on the device, and a pair of red needles is positioned over each tube.

Click and hold the left control stick to clamp down the needles over the left tube. Click and hold the right stick to clamp down the needles over the right tube. The task is to lock each pair of needles around the mercury blob in that tube and hold it in place. You must have both blobs locked to activate the device. When activated, the TS-27 blows the circuit to which it’s connected. (You’ll use this device several times later in the game.)

Complete the Sniper Rifle Tutorial

Finally, Tesla leads Galahad over to a table (5) holding his newly modified version of the Essex M84 Marksman Carbine, a powerful and highly accurate rifle. Tesla has added a telescopic sight, making it the perfect sniper weapon. Use the left stick to inspect the gun then press when prompted to load cartridges. You switch to an aiming/shooting interface.

First, shoot the target twice. Try to hit the red circle in the bullseye. Then click to toggle on scope magnification and shoot the bullseye again. Finally, click and hold to steady your aim temporarily by holding your breath. Nail the bullseye one more time to complete the tutorial.

Watch the chapter-ending cutscene: Galahad takes his leave from the lab. On the way out he grabs the Monocular device that Tesla has developed for General Lafayette.
