Broken Sword: The Sleeping Dragon Hints

How can George get into the old theatre?

  • 1 of 24: George, like Nico, will not be able to enter the old theatre from the street.
  • 2 of 24: George won't be climbing the scaffolding -- but he will have to find an unusual entrance to the theatre.
  • 3 of 24: Take George across the street from where he began this area.
  • 4 of 24: Enter the open, arched doorway and look around the enclosed area, especially around the recycling bin.
  • 5 of 24: Notice the large open trash bin?
  • 6 of 24: It might be more useful to George if it were closed.
  • 7 of 24: The bin is propped open on the right side, near the back of the bin.
  • 8 of 24: It seem George cannot close the lid from the ground.  He'll need to find something to climb on.
  • 9 of 24: Yup, it's crate time again!  Get the crate found to the left of the recycling bin and bring it to where the bin is propped open.
  • 10 of 24: After George climbs onto the crate, he should be able to close the bin.
  • 11 of 24: Hmmm... it seems as though the bin was hiding a window.
  • 12 of 24: George could reach the window better from on top of the garbage bin.
  • 13 of 24: Once George has unlatched the window, he can climb through to a book repository storeroom.
  • 14 of 24: Not much to do in this room.  Exit the storeroom through the door.
  • 15 of 24: From where George enters the next room, move him to the door on George's left (on the left, when his back is to the entrance).
  • 16 of 24: This next room is very dark.  George will need to lighten it up a bit.
  • 17 of 24: Check the room for possible clues -- especially near the entrance.
  • 18 of 24: Did you notice the scratches on the floor?
  • 19 of 24: Perhaps a further clue can be found under the middle crate.
  • 20 of 24: George will need to move the higher crate before he can move the lower one.
  • 21 of 24: Climb on one of the end crates and push the middle crate onto one of the other crates.
  • 22 of 24: Now George can pull out the middle crate and see what is underneath.
  • 23 of 24: Open the trapdoor, and follow the passage to the other side.
  • 24 of 24: George can climb the ladder to the basement of the theatre.  One more ladder, and George is in!
