Secrets of the Ark: A Broken Sword Game Hints
Escaping palace
1 of 5: If you'll remember, the room with the computer and locked museum doors only lead into the museum, and you don't want to go back in there.
2 of 5: So go up the stairs near the door you came in through to find yourself on the same upper walkway you started the "Getting through museum" task on earlier.
3 of 5: You can't go back to the previous area via the side hallway since the tea-sipping guard and his dog will be back at their post by now. Look around the upper walkway area for other possibilities, remembering what the nun said about getting up onto the roof.
4 of 5: There are a bunch of interactive green vines hanging just to the right of the walkway's rightmost window, but you can't climb them while the guards are patrolling the courtyard below.
5 of 5: As soon as you regain control after the "alarming" cut-scene, click on the green vines to climb up to the roof and start on the "Crossing roofs" task.
