Broken Sword: The Sleeping Dragon Hints

Moving Crates

• George can push or pull crates, boxes, stone blocks, and other cube-shaped objects.  To do so, align George with one side of the crate (or other object), and have him face the crate you'd like to move.  You should see four icons appear in the lower right corner of the screen.  Select the "use" (action) key by pressing the "S" key.  While still holding the "S" key down, press the arrow key in the direction you'd like to go. 
  
  For example, if you want to pull the crate to the right, you'll need to place George on the right side of the crate, grab the crate by pressing and holding the action "S" button, then press the right arrow key.  Once George starts moving the crate, you can let go of the buttons and George will continue to move the crate until it's moved one space to the right.  To move the crate more than once, you don't need to let go of the "S" key, but can continue holding it down, and press the arrow key again. (It may take a little practice, but you'll get used to it.)
  
  In most areas, George doesn't have to walk around a crate, but can climb over it to get to another side.  You'll know when George can climb over a crate, by putting George facing the crate and watching for the "climb up" icon on the lower right of the screen.  To climb over the crate, press "W".
  
  There are a few limitations.  Crates only move in increments equaling the size of a crate.  George can only pull a crate toward himself if there is room behind him to move (George needs the size of one crate to stand, in addition to the space needed to move the crate) but may be able to push from the other side for the same effect.
  
  There are places where the crates are stacked one on top of the other.  It is impossible to alter the height of the crates.  For example, if there is a crate on the ground, and another crate on top of it, it would be impossible to push the higher crate off the lower one and onto the ground.  It would also be impossible to lift a crate from the ground and put it on top of another one.  Whatever level the crates start on is the level the crate must stay on.  It is possible, however, to move the crates -- on any level -- providing that there is a place to move it onto -- whether another crate, or open ground at that level.
  
  It is never possible to move more than one crate at a time -- whether that means pushing two crates on the same level, or pushing two crates stacked one on top of the other.  Each crate must be moved individually.  If a stack of crates is three tall, then the top crate must be moved first -- and that means there must be a stack of two crates directly adjacent to it.
