In Chapter 5 (City 2) of Another World, there’s a section where you need to swim underwater to shoot and disable a power line.
When I try swimming down in one go, I end up running out of breath. I need to make sure to come up for air half-way through. A few close calls have made me curious how long I can stay under.
How long can I hold my breath underwater before drowning?
Best Answer
40 seconds, sink or swim.
If you drop like a rock, it is 40 seconds.
If you swim the whole time, it is still 40 seconds.
You must take a breath of air in the middle of this area. (From the splash, it would take ~45 seconds to complete the run.)
Take the path DOWN-2, LEFT-2. There is a room with four branches here:
In an otherwise very difficult game, this is not a very tricky area to maneuver. There are only four branches, and the creatures on the floor can't even hurt you while you are in the water.
