Broken Sword 5 Hints
Where is the key to the library?
1 of 9: What did Ramon say bout why he doesn't remember?
2 of 9: Because he was drunk, so search for hints near empty bottles.
3 of 9: There was a big pile next to the car. Go there and look for hints there.
4 of 9: The interior of the car is filled with sardine can keys.
5 of 9: Also, if you look under the pillow, the diary says that Ramon wanted to eat something before he could hide the key.
6 of 9: Sardine can keys + hide the key after eating something = key in a sardine can.
7 of 9: Where have you seen sardine cans before?
8 of 9: While George was talking to Ramon you saw wind chimes made of cans.
9 of 9: You can find the wind chimes on the left side of the door when you are on the screen with the well and Eva holding the gun. Zoom in to the wind chimes and inspect the cans. In one of them you find the key.
