Secrets of the Ark: A Broken Sword Game Hints
How can I get over to the open door and stairwell?
1 of 15: Have you tried getting as close to the door as you can, and then clicking on the floor next to it?
2 of 15: You can jump over some small gaps that way, but not this one, so look around for something else.
3 of 15: In fact, go all the way over to the opposite side of the area, to the left of the door you came in through.
4 of 15: Check out the far left wall over there.
5 of 15: There's a large pipe going along the wall a bit above head level.
6 of 15: Position the cursor somewhere on that pipe to find out that it's shimmy-able.
7 of 15: Click on the pipe a couple of times to get George to jump up and grab onto it, then start shimmying along to the left.
8 of 15: Keep shimmying along, ignoring a falling plank and a couple of gangsters talking, until you reach a spot where you can safely drop onto another floor section.
9 of 15: Run left a bit to find a small floor gap blocking your progress.
10 of 15: There are no pipes around to shimmy on, so hopefully this gap is small enough to jump over.
11 of 15: Click on the floor on the gap's other side to find out that yes, George can jump over there.
12 of 15: Run along until you reach another floor gap near a corner. There's no way you're going to jump across this one!
13 of 15: So move the cursor along the wall until you find a narrow ledge that you can click on to go into side-step mode.
14 of 15: You're familiar with that process by now, so side-step your way along the ledge until you can get off onto a solid piece of flooring.
15 of 15: Go through a large wall hole to find yourself next to the door and stairwell that you were trying to get to.
