Secrets of the Ark: A Broken Sword Game Hints
How can I get up onto the wall unseen?
1 of 11: You'll have to somehow arrange a distraction for the guard who always catches you when you climb up.
2 of 11: Anna Maria isn't available to help you this time, so you'll have to rig up a distraction of some other sort on your own.
3 of 11: Look all around the area for distraction possibilities.
4 of 11: Few interactive things in an adventure game are completely useless, so why are you able to climb to the top of the right scaffolding if you can't ever get up onto the wall from there?
5 of 11: Maybe your distraction possibility is up there!
6 of 11: Climb up to the upper level of the right scaffolding and check out the ledge that George won't let you try to climb up on.
7 of 11: There's a very hard-to-see item hiding on that ledge.
8 of 11: It's near your edge of the ledge, directly above the bulb in the nearby hanging lantern. It's hard to find with the cursor even when you know where it is.
9 of 11: When you've got the cursor on it, wait until the guard can't be seen, then click.
10 of 11: That'll get you the guard's cell phone. Maybe you can distract him with a cell phone call!
