Secrets of the Ark: A Broken Sword Game Hints

Gaining entry

  • 1 of 6: Try to walk past the guard at the entrance to learn that no one gets in without an ID.
  • 2 of 6: Talk to him to learn that someone named Eamon O'Mara hasn't signed in yet, and that you may be able to impersonate him.
  • 3 of 6: After you run into the next area, you'll find that the inner gate and a large side yard are also guarded.
  • 4 of 6: Once you're in the side yard, George will notice some scaffolding along the nearby wall. Since the door past the scaffolding is locked, it's time to climb!
  • 5 of 6: You'll find that there's no way to climb up onto the wall from the scaffolding on the right, and while there is a way to climb up onto the wall from the upper level of the second scaffolding, a guard will always catch you.
  • 6 of 6: When you make it, you'll have finished this task and started on "Sneaking through palace."
