Generator

A generator is a power source used to power certain things in The Last of Us. In order to get a generator working, the player needs to pull the generator handle three times by precisely pressing the triangle button at a certain point. Failing to press the button at the right point will cause the meter to empty and the process must be started again. If a player has trouble finding it, the player can follow the yellow wires that lead to the generator.
== Locations ==
Here are the locations of all seven of the generators:
*The Quarantine Zone: Once the player jumps down to a secret passage, Tess will start a generator to provide light. This is also the only time when the player doesn't have to start it. As the player progresses through the slums, more generators can be seen.
*The Outskirts: After moving through a small gap, a generator will be next to an elevator. Joel uses it to provide power for the elevator.
*Pittsburgh: Once Joel falls down into the basement, move through the hallways. After defeating the stalkers, the generator will be on a stairwell. There is another one in front of the gate guarded by hunters leading to the bridge. Joel can turn this one off, making it harder for the Hunters to see without the spotlight powered by it. However, it will cause the Hunters on the platform to jump down to investigate.
*The Suburbs: Joel must get Ellie across a deeply-flooded room in the sewers to start a generator that powers a motorized platform to get Henry and Sam across the room. 
*The University: There are two on this chapter. The first one will be in a library. Inside the room, on the second floor, is where the generator will be, along with five runners. The second one will be on a cart, after you pass the dorm. The cart will need to be pushed to the wall panel.
