Secrets of the Ark: A Broken Sword Game Hints

How can I get the manuscript out of the cabinet?

  • 1 of 12: With all those locks, you can forget about picking or breaking them. As for the keys, ol' "Fingers" will undoubtedly keep all of them on him at all times.
  • 2 of 12: So how might you break into the cabinet and get the manuscript?
  • 3 of 12: For a hint, look around for other interactive items.
  • 4 of 12: Check out the large array of windows that make up the "wall" to the left of the cabinet.
  • 5 of 12: You can click the eye cursor on the top part of the dark center section of the 3X3 window array nearest the cabinet.
  • 6 of 12: Do so to learn that the "bone cruncher" machine is directly below that spot.
  • 7 of 12: George remarks that the bone cruncher could probably tear cars apart, so it probably wouldn't have any trouble with a metal cabinet, would it?
  • 8 of 12: That plan sounds like it would be *very* dangerous for the manuscript, but you've got to try it. (Besides, if the manuscript does get ground up, at least the thugs won't have it, either.)
  • 9 of 12: Now your problem is how to get the cabinet into the bone cruncher machine.
  • 10 of 12: Leave the secret office and go down to the bone cruncher machine, then get it going on that cabinet!
  • 11 of 12: Once it's working again, use its control panel to get it to work on the cabinet.
  • 12 of 12: Thankfully, the manuscript will be tossed out of the cabinet unharmed, and will land on the ground nearby.
