Broken Sword: The Sleeping Dragon Hints

George can't get from one courtyard to another without being shot by a guard.

  • 1 of 6: After George has jumped down into the side courtyard, the only way he can go is across a well-guarded area.  Luckily, you'll only need to worry about one guard.
  • 2 of 6: Take time to watch the movements of the guard, as well as which way he is facing at all times. 
  • 3 of 6: The guard spends a particularly large amount of time looking towards the corners.  You'll have to take advantage of that to get across the open area.
  • 4 of 6: It may help to "crouch" (hold down left Ctrl) while moving -- that makes George walk much quieter.  But in doing so, the timing will be even more precarious, as it takes George longer to cross the open area.
  • 5 of 6: Wait until the guard turns away from the corner closer to George and starts to move towards the far corner before moving George.
  • 6 of 6: As long as George's movements keep him behind the guard, George should be able to move without crossing the guard's line of sight.  Make sure, when on the other side, to keep away from the open doorway, or the guard will see George.
