Broken Sword 5 Hints

How can I blow the fuse?

  • 1 of 6: Look for ways to increase power consumption.
  • 2 of 6: First of all, convince Hobbs to let you turn on the heating.
  • 3 of 6: The elevator also looks like a big consumer.
  • 4 of 6: The heating and elevator alone is not enough, so try to increase the electric load.
  • 5 of 6: It should suffice, if the elevator has to lift something heavy.
  • 6 of 6: Ask Lady Piermont to step on the elevator and use the elevator again.
