Secrets of the Ark: A Broken Sword Game Hints

How can I spy on the office when it's way up high?

  • 1 of 12: You noticed where George looked in the brief cut-scene, right?
  • 2 of 12: Well, look down at what's directly below that spot.
  • 3 of 12: You'll find a forklift setting there. Does that give you any uplifting ideas?
  • 4 of 12: What if you could climb up on it to the point where you could see in through the office's window and hear any conversations that are going on inside it?
  • 5 of 12: Examining the forklift, you'll find that you get a climb icon when you point at the side of the forklift's orange backside.
  • 6 of 12: Click there to get up onto the orange section, then click on the forklift's top cover to get up on that.
  • 7 of 12: That's a good start, but it isn't nearly high enough to get you to where you can spy on the musical office.
  • 8 of 12: Maybe you could get the forklift to raise something up so that you can climb from the forklift's top cover onto the raised item. That should do the trick!
  • 9 of 12: In order to accomplish that, you need to figure out two different things.
  • 10 of 12: Now you can climb onto the back of the forklift, then the top cover of the forklift, and then onto the elevated trash bin.
  • 11 of 12: NOTE: To get onto the trash bin, click the climb icon on its nearest side while standing on the forklift's top cover, then click on the top of the trash bin.
  • 12 of 12: After you're up there, click the "eye spy" icon on the nearby window to find out that the manuscript is indeed being kept in that office.
