Secrets of the Ark: A Broken Sword Game Hints

Searching Catacombs

1 of 10:
Explore around the catwalk that you have access to and see if you can find a way to leave this dank area.
- Where's the door that leads out of here?
- I found the "door," but how can I open it?
2 of 10:
After you go through the "door," you'll find yourself in an even darker area. (Don't you just hate it when games challenge your eyesight as well as your puzzle-solving skills?) Adjust your brightness settings and turn your room lights off if you have to, then run down the nearby short corridor and turn left to find a big drop-off.
- How do I go anywhere from here?
3 of 10:
After you climb down, look around to find a large door a bit to the right of where Anna Maria is standing.
- How can I open this big door?
4 of 10: Go through that door and down a short, dark hallway to reach a large room with a bright golden floor.
5 of 10:
Searching the room for interactive items, you'll find a statue in the alcove a bit to the left of the door that will give you a puzzle when you click on it.
- How can I solve the statue's puzzle?
6 of 10:
Correctly solving that statue's puzzle will give access to another puzzle statue across the room. And solving its puzzle gives access to a third puzzle statue!
- What's the solution to the second statue's puzzle?
- What's the solution to the third statue's puzzle?
7 of 10:
Thing is, solving the third puzzle statue won't reveal a fourth puzzle statue. The final two alcoves will stubbornly remain empty.
- How can I do anything with these empty alcoves?
8 of 10:
The golden floor will descend down to a level where you'll have access to a room with a beautiful golden angel statue on a pedestal.
- How can I make the statue safe to take?
9 of 10:
Once you have the statue, you'll still have the problem of how to get out of there.
- How can I leave this room? All the doors are closed!
10 of 10: After you escape the statue room and view a long cut-scene, you'll be on the "Jailbird George" task.
