Hmmm. I failed the academy tests too - I couldn't work out which teleporters to stand on, even though I knew the answers (well ... they are in the 'Conversation' lists <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />
I plodded on for a short while - found a pick axe, which when armed breaks the damaged wall. I wasn't ready for the onslaught and was instantly wiped out - but, I want to go back and find out how to tell which teleporter has the right answer - if possible? Maybe it's all part of the plot that one shouldn't stand on the correct teleporter?
Maybe there are three ways through - passing the tests (anyone done that? - I passed one - the Faith test, more by luck than jusgement!), the pickaxe thru the wall route, and the keys route mentioned in this thread?
Thank heavens I have a save at the right spot to try all methods, if they really are available ...
Anyone else done that? Any benefits of one method over the others?
