HOW TO: Drain the Black Slime / Open the Gate

Ghostbusters Discussion Ghostbusters Video Games

At one point in the game you must drain all the black slime by opening a flood gate. This part is actually very easy.. but many people get stuck on it. You might not see it … but to each side of the gate is a weight.

All you really need to do is slime thether those weights to the ground!

(avoiding spoilers)

Please help! I’m stuck at a gate in one of the later levels in a slime room. It says I need to drain the slime and that “more creative gadget use may be required.”

Any thoughts?

EDIT: I’m all good. Nevermind.

I can’t figure out how to close/open this dang gate:

I’m in the basement of ghost island with the giant pool of black slime. How do I close the slime gate; or shut off the sliem? I’ve slime tethered the gate chains to the ground but I can’t figure out what to do next…is this a glitch? should the gate open after slime tethering the chains?..I’ve noticed a few glitches thus far.

UPDATE:

What!!!

I unpaused the game and the gate immediately opens!!!? I seriously slime tethered the chains 10 minutes ago.

I wanna know

I had trouble here too.

Its pretty easy though. Use the slime tether on the weights next to the gate. It took me a good 5 minutes trying and then reading the prima guide before I figured it out!

6

yes that took me a good 20-30 mins of frustration to figure out. goto the back of the room and use the slime tether to tether together the 2 sets of metal pieces (top and bottom) together on either side of the back gate…

7

Those are weights?! I would have never figured that out if you guys haven’t told me. I was working on that from 10:00pm-10:40pm until I had to rush here to work.

I had the SAME problem, then I noticed that, they weren’t down all the way, so I had to use the Slime Tether again to get them to “lock” in.

Speaking of glitches. Did anyone else have a problem with the Kitchen Level (Returne To The Sedgewick)? I got stuck in there for, like 20 minutes, until I had to restart from my last checkpoint, because I couldn’t leave after the boss battle.

Yeah there are a few glitches. In the first part of the staypuft level if you trap a ghost using your trap instead of the super slammer the level won’t continue.

10

Need help.

How do I drain that big room full of black slime? The one with all the barrels and pillars. I have experimented with the barrels, moving them with the capture stream and also with the slime tether but i still cant get it. Help?

11

there are two sitches on either side of the door, use the slime teather and pull them down, that will close the gate and allow the slime to empty… although thats the least of you problems.

12

. . . . . HAHAHAHHAA i had a feeling something was gonna happen

and of course it’s that easy . . . . .back to playing

13

I just went for a swim in it! You die REALLY fast… I find the Proton Packs Confinement (Containment) Stream works wonders.

14

yes. if you beat the boss before the smaller ghosts then it won’t let you continue on to the next level. :sigh:

You know… I spent about a good half hour in there trying to figure that one out.

Using the PKE meter, I tracked the invisible slime trail to the door, saw the symbols on it, and figured it was a clue.

Thought the 4 upright markings represented pillars, and went looking for an oddly marked pillar to activate.

Upon not finding it, I was at a loss until I noticed that the pillars could be destroyed with the boson dart.

I proceeded then to destroy every fricking pillar in the room in the hopes that the ceiling would collapse and knock a giant slime-draining hole into the floor.

When that didn’t work, I began tethering the random barrels in the room to the door, hoping that they’d smash into it and open it for me.

By PURE MISTAKE, I accidentally tethered the floor to one of the weights and… smh

…

Put the game on pause and went to bed afterward.

I felt like a true moron.

LOL
