Secrets of the Ark: A Broken Sword Game Hints
How can I get past that monk unseen?
1 of 8: Before you start working on this problem, you need to be in the proper position.
2 of 8: That position is just to the left of the opening in the garden hedge that leads straight to the door you're going for. (It's the opening that the pigeon-distracted monk was occupying earlier.)
3 of 8: Once you're in position, start watching the patrolling monk's activities.
4 of 8: Notice that he goes back and forth between two plants that are to the left and right of the door.
5 of 8: Try running for the door when he's busy with one of those plants.
6 of 8: He'll always catch you if he's at the right plant.
7 of 8: So wait until he's busy with the left plant.
8 of 8: The ideal time to run for the door is the instant he leans over the left plant and starts working on it (or the instant before he does).
