Broken Sword: The Sleeping Dragon Hints

How do I open the door with the lightning symbol?

  • 1 of 11: You won't be able to do this with your bare hands. 
  • 2 of 11: Notice the strange symbol on the wall?
  • 3 of 11: It is recessed, as if it requires an additional object to be placed on it.
  • 4 of 11: The object you need is also decorated with a lightning symbol....
  • 5 of 11: ...and it's round, like the design around the lightning symbol.  If you don't have something round with a lightning symbol, you may need to look around more.
  • 6 of 11: Use the metal plate.
  • 7 of 11: The plate will fall off before George can make it through the door.
  • 8 of 11: You'll need to use something to hold it into place. 
  • 9 of 11: The adventurer who originally carried the metal plate knew how to use it.
  • 10 of 11: Use the scarf that the plate was wrapped in. 
  • 11 of 11: Apply the plate first, then the scarf.  George will automatically ask for Nico's help to hold it all in place.
