Secrets of the Ark: A Broken Sword Game Hints

Sneaking through palace

  • 1 of 5: When you start this task, you'll be hiding behind a small stick-out wall, and there'll be a guard patrolling nearby.
  • 2 of 5: Move through the area you climbed into and check out the next hallway.
  • 3 of 5: Don't go to the back of the hallway, though, since it connects to the hall that a guard and his dog are stationed in.
  • 4 of 5: Even though the guard is now gone, he left his faithful dog behind to guard the exit from the room below.
  • 5 of 5: After the dog is distracted, go through the doorway he was guarding and on to the next area, where you'll start the "Getting through museum" task.
