Secrets of the Ark: A Broken Sword Game Hints

How can I distract the nun long enough to read the schedule?

  • 1 of 8: Since another nun answers the door, you'll have to try something other than ringing the doorbell.
  • 2 of 8: Maybe this nun is in charge of answering the phone.
  • 3 of 8: The phone isn't on her table, so she'd have to get up to answer it. So give her a call!
  • 4 of 8: Once you know the number, try calling it.
  • 5 of 8: Sister Angelica won't answer it, but you can ask for her.
  • 6 of 8: Needless to say, this distraction will only work if you call her from the monastery area. However, feel free to call her from Anna Maria's apartment to get a hilarious conversation.
  • 7 of 8: Back at the monastery, stand just to the left or right of Sister Angelica's window and make the call.
  • 8 of 8: When you regain control, click on the window for its close-up view, then click on the schedule as soon as Sister Angelica is out of sight.
