Broken Sword: The Sleeping Dragon Hints

How can I get Nico inside the castle compound?

  • 1 of 9: When you first arrive at the castle, you are not controlling Nico, only George.  So it's going to be up to George to find a way to get Nico into the castle.
  • 2 of 9: Before entering the castle area, did you see a second gate area to the right of the main gate, and along the wall behind their car?
  • 3 of 9: George is going to have to make his way around -- inside the compound, inside the castle walls -- and (eventually) get to that gate (from the inside), and let Nico in.
  • 4 of 9: However, that won't be done directly. He will need to take a very circuitous (and indirect) route to do so.
  • 5 of 9: Once George makes it to the inside of the gate, he can talk to Nico through the other gate.  However, the gate is locked even from his side.
  • 6 of 9: Examining the gate reveals that it is remotely controlled.  George will need to locate that remote control if he wants to open the gate for Nico.
  • 7 of 9: This courtyard seems to be the "parking lot" for the castle.  Surely other vehicles need to enter and exit the compound.
  • 8 of 9: Check all of the vehicles in the courtyard.  Make sure to keep in the shadows, and keep the vehicles between George and the guards -- or George won't get far!
  • 9 of 9: Look in the Jeep.  Take the remote control from the Jeep, and use it to open the gate and let Nico in.  You may need to look at the gate, and the remote control (in the inventory) before the remote control will be usable on the gate.
