Quick Links
On your way to place the final transmitter in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Oxenfree 2, you'll come to the abandoned mining town of Garland. There, you'll find strange devices left by a paranormal investigator named Hank. LIke much of the town's technology, these EMF boosters are affected by the strange phenomena happening all around Camena.
The EMF boosters are the key to completing the game's main objective, but if you stick around in Garland you can also complete Hank's side quest. Doing so earns an Achievement or Trophy and an extra bit of lore at the end of the game!
This guide contains spoilers.
How To Turn On The EMF Boosters
You can't go to Garland until after the encounter with Olivia and her friends at the Community Center. The path is blocked with a radio lock that requires the upgraded radio in order to open. Once you've reached Garland, you can explore the town; ultimately, Riley and Jacob will realize they need to go through the collapsed mines to reach tꩵhe transmitter point on the c𝔍liff over the church.
There are three boosters scattered throughout the town; you'll be able to see the cables running to and from each. They don't do anything until they're powered on, though. Go to the post office (the building in the bottom-right corner of the town) and enter through the front door. You'll receive a radio call from Hank, who can be reached on Channel Four from that point forward.
Once you're done talking to Hank, activate the generator on the front counter🗹 of the post office. You can now interact with the EMF boosters.
How To Set The EMF Boosters
The EMF boosters have an effect on the Time Tear in the center of the town's bottom level. Changing the boosters' settings changes the year to which the Time Tear leads! The uppermost booster is damaged beyond repair after Olivia stole critical parts from it, so you can only change the settings on the bottom and middle boosters.
The bottom EMF booster, located immediately to the left of the Time Tear, indicates which century you can travel to; the middle one, located on the ledge above, sets the decade. So, for example, if you set the middle booster to 7 and the bottom booster to ﷽9, the Time Tear would l🦄ead to 1970.
You can set and re𒆙set the EMF boosters as many times as you wish, but there are only a few𝓰 years that have anything worth seeing.
How To Enter The Mines
The mine tunnel that you need to pass through collapsed in 1892, according to the memorial plaque on the building near the middle booster. This means that if you set the Time Tear to 1890, you'll be able to enter the mines before the disaster happened. Once you're inside, you'll exit the Tear and be able to climb up to the exit above the church.
How To Complete Hank's Side Quest
As an optional objective, Hank asks Riley and Jacob to take a picture if the EMF boosters show them anything notable. That isn't much to go on, but if you've been collecting Maggie's letters you may find a hint. One letter, dated when Hank was a baby, mentions his older brother Tom, who died before he was born. The sketch on the letter shows a grave from sometime in the 1900s.
If you set the Time Tear to visit 1930 and go through, you'll see Tom sitting in front of the general store. Talk to him, and Jacob will take his picture. When you return to the present, radio Hank on Channel Four to let him know what you've found.
Hank will ask you to find physical evidence of ghostly activity. If you haven't already done so, return to the cave on Horseshoe Beach where Riley encountered the child ghost. Collect the shoe at the back of the cave and place it in the lockbox on the second floor of the post office. When that's done, radio Hank again to complete his side quest. At the end of the game, the box of mementos will include a copy of Hank's book about paranormal activity, with a thank-you note to Riley.
If you pay close attention to the final conversation with Hank and some end-game dialogue, you'll discover that Hank's wife Cynthia is Charlie's older sister!
