Secrets of the Ark: A Broken Sword Game Hints
How can I get past these deadly live wires?
1 of 11: You can't as long as they're live, so look around for a way to deprive them of power.
2 of 11: Notice that the cables seem to be coming down the wall from the floor above.
3 of 11: So get back up to the higher floor and see if you can find where those cables are coming from.
4 of 11: Run back to the doorway that leads to the stairwell, then go left from it this time instead of right.
5 of 11: When you come to the left wall, check out the large electrical box that's against the wall.
6 of 11: Only a very small part of it near the top is interactive. Move the cursor along it slowly until you find it.
7 of 11: Click there to learn that it's the breaker switch, but it won't stay in the OFF position. That's bad, since you won't have nearly enough time to run back down there and past the cables after hitting the switch.
8 of 11: But remember that you have someone with you who can help you coordinate things like this.
9 of 11: After trying the breaker switch and finding that it won't stay off, get Anna Maria to help you keep it on.
10 of 11: As usual, click on her head in your inventory, then click on the item you need help with -- the breaker switch, in this case.
