Secrets of the Ark: A Broken Sword Game Hints

Once I have it, how can I get it to where George can use it?

  • 1 of 9: Right-click on the ID card in inventory to get it separated from a map, and then again to learn that the photo is only loosely attached.
  • 2 of 9: Also, remember that George has had his bail bond photo ID in inventory ever since the start of the game.
  • 3 of 9: Maybe you could get Eamon's photo off of his ID, and George's on!
  • 4 of 9: First, find something that you can use to carefully detach Eamon's photo.
  • 5 of 9: A simple utensil like a knife would do.
  • 6 of 9: However, using your new knife on Eamon's ID will do no good.
  • 7 of 9: It turns out that you don't have to detach Eamon's photo -- you just have to get George's put on over it.
  • 8 of 9: So use the knife on George's ID to get his picture cut out.
  • 9 of 9: Then just use George's picture on Eamon's ID to get it put on -- no glue needed! (Since Eamon's photo was loose to begin with, indicating the cheap quality of the ID cards, the fact that George's photo isn't very firmly attached probably won't raise any suspicions.)
