Secrets of the Ark: A Broken Sword Game Hints
How can I get him out of here so I can examine the fountain?
1 of 9: Since you can't walk very far out into the courtyard without being seen, try sneaking along its surrounding walls.
2 of 9: There are two different ways you can start out: left and right.
3 of 9: If you to go George's left (your right as you face him), you'll be able to sneak a long way around the walls before you're seen, but you won't find anything useful.
4 of 9: So go back to where Anna Maria is and head off in the other direction. (So that you're going along the wall that's behind the bench that the guard is sitting on.)
5 of 9: Just before you reach a spot near a door and another guard, examine the wall.
6 of 9: There's an interactive item partially hidden behind the last pillar near your wall.
7 of 9: Use the item to find that it shuts off the fountain. That's both useful and distracting!
8 of 9: However, the guard knows where the fountain's control panel is, and he'll go straight to it and turn the fountain back on, after which he'll resume his "post" on the bench.
9 of 9: That'll get the bench guard to go over and have a long conversation with the nearby door guard, allowing you and Anna Maria free run of the fountain.
