Broken Sword: The Sleeping Dragon Hints

How can I reduce the friction?

• 1 of 15: Has George tried to push the strut a couple of times?  He'll tell you what he needs.
• 2 of 15: He says the strut needs some sort of lubrication.
• 3 of 15: Have you tried the greasepaint?
  • Where can I find greasepaint?
• 4 of 15: The greasepaint is too old -- it won't fit into the gap under the strut.
• 5 of 15: You won't find any ready-made liquid lubricants, you'll have to make your own.
• 6 of 15: Start with the greasepaint.  What can you do to it, to soften it up?
• 7 of 15: Think of the greasepaint as being similar to a wax crayon.
• 8 of 15: Wax crayons melt very easily -- and so will the greasepaint.
• 9 of 15: Can you think of anywhere in the theatre that is hot enough to melt the greasepaint?
• 10 of 15: Stage lights are very hot. 
• 11 of 15: Look along the edge of the stage, in the theatre.  Any of the lights will do.
• 12 of 15: If you try melt the greasepaint by itself, George will burn his hands.  You'll need a suitable container.
  • What can I use and where can I find it?
• 13 of 15: You'll have to put the greasepaint into the disposable cup.  For information about combining inventory items, read
  • Inventory: How does it work?
• 14 of 15: Use the cup holding greasepaint on the stage lights (George will have to be standing on the stage to do so.)
• 15 of 15: Now, back to the sub-basement, to use the melted greasepaint on the strut.
