Broken Sword: The Sleeping Dragon Hints

How can Nico help the chef with his knife problem?

  • 1 of 12: It's doubtful that she can take his knives away for sharpening.  So she's going to have to come up with something that brings the solution to him.
  • 2 of 12: Perhaps there's someone else in the castle who likes knives, as well as the chef.
  • 3 of 12: Petra seems to be pretty handy as a killer -- maybe she also has some knives.
  • 4 of 12: Check in Petra's room.
  • 5 of 12: Examine the chest behind the folding screen.
  • 6 of 12: (You may have to examine the chest twice.)
  • 7 of 12: Nico finds a button in the chest, but she can't press it with her fingers.
  • 8 of 12: Got anything thinner and stronger?
  • 9 of 12: How about the pencil in Nico's inventory?
  • 10 of 12: Use the pencil on the small button to open the secret compartment.
  • 11 of 12: Lots of knives!  And a sharpening stone, as well.
  • 12 of 12: Take the sharpening stone to the kitchen and speak to the chef about it.
