Broken Sword: The Sleeping Dragon Hints
What am I supposed to do in the cathedral?
1 of 10: Your goal, when first entering the cathedral, is to get to the door on the far side of the room.
2 of 10: You're not going to be able to go straight across with those guards and that dog there!
3 of 10: The key is to stay in the shadows as much as possible, keep out of the line of sight when the guard is facing you, and move only when the guard is not facing you. This will take careful timing, especially when George has to cross areas that are better lit.
4 of 10: George is temporarily safe, while standing in this doorway (and will also be safe when standing in the doorway on the other side of the room).
5 of 10: Take a minute to watch a complete cycle of the guard -- where he walks, and where he faces each time he stops (the pattern of movement remains constant with each round).
6 of 10: As soon as George enters the room, move him to his right, up alongside the wall, and onto the stage. Make sure to keep George in the shadows immediately against the wall while he is walking.
7 of 10: George has to move out of this spot before the guard gets too close, or he will be seen. As long as the guard is far enough away, he will have a bit of a blind spot into the shadows against the walls. Make use of these shadows.
8 of 10: Take George behind the large screen in the middle of the stage. He'll have to get behind the screen while the guard is still on the side of the room to which George is heading. If the guard is too close to George, he'll be seen. If George had started up the stage immediately after heading into this room, he should be able to progress to the screened-in area without stopping. (It is okay to run the last little bit, if necessary.) Once there, George will need to wait behind the screen for a bit.
9 of 10: The guard will stop on the stage to look to the left, then he will move to the left, stop and look to the right. When the guard turns to walk down the stairs, quickly move George toward the shadows on the right. Keeping in the shadows near the wall, move George toward his target door. Generally, the space between the screen and the door can be done in one movement.
10 of 10: You might want to save the game at this point, so that you don't have to do that again!
