Secrets of the Ark: A Broken Sword Game Hints
How can I get up this ladder?
1 of 6: There aren't any action icons relating to the ladder no matter where you position the cursor, so this is apparently meant to be a totally "standard" action, like walking from one spot on the floor to another.
2 of 6: Examining the ladder top, you'll see that it can only be climbed from the side opposite the ledge you just side-stepped across.
3 of 6: So click on the "floor" on that side of the ladder to get yourself around there.
4 of 6: Then click somewhere on the ladder to climb partway up it.
5 of 6: Click near the top of the ladder to climb up more, then click on the upper fire escape floor to get off onto it.
6 of 6: Remember this procedure for other ladders. I won't bother to give detailed instructions like this for each one.
