Secrets of the Ark: A Broken Sword Game Hints
What door can we use to exit the building?
1 of 14: There's a door back to the left, over near the live cables.
2 of 14: You can reach it without getting cable-zapped, but it can't be opened.
3 of 14: So head over to the right of the door Anna Maria came through.
4 of 14: You'll soon find a large metal door that George calls "security shutters" if you examine them.
5 of 14: The security shutters won't open easily, so it seems you've got one last puzzle to solve in this building.
6 of 14: Have you tried clicking on the shutters to see if you can raise them by force?
7 of 14: That doesn't work, so look around for a handle.
8 of 14: There's one on the right side of the doorframe.
9 of 14: However, you can only crank the shutters up partway with the handle, and they'll drop right back down the moment you let go.
10 of 14: This is apparently going to need to be another team-effort solution.
11 of 14: What if one of you used the handle to crank the door partway up, and the other one then held it up?
12 of 14: George is probably the strongest physically of the two, so you'd better have him be the one to hold the shutters up.
13 of 14: Ask for Anna Maria's help with the handle (click on her head in your inventory, then on the handle), then click on the shutters.
14 of 14: George will be able to hold them open long enough for him and Anna Maria to get through safely.
