Secrets of the Ark: A Broken Sword Game Hints
How can I get the towel?
1 of 13: The guy in the shower won't let you take it, and you don't want him to leave, or he'll take his towel with him. Therefore, you'll have to find a way to obscure his vision without motivating him to leave.
2 of 13: A bit of steam might do that.
3 of 13: But the shower isn't putting off nearly enough steam as it is. That water must not be very hot.
4 of 13: Look around for a way to make the guy's shower water hotter and steamier. He'd probably like that, anyway.
5 of 13: Examine the wall that's just to the right of the occupied shower stall.
6 of 13: Notice that pipe? Maybe it's attached to some controls.
7 of 13: Follow the pipe along to see where it leads.
8 of 13: It'll eventually take you to the corner in the main locker room area near the nude painting.
9 of 13: Notice that the pipe ends in a little control gimmick just to the left of a plastic plant's pedestal.
10 of 13: Right-click on the plant and choose the shove-around icon to push the plant and its pedestal out of the way.
11 of 13: Now you can use the control on the pipe to raise the water temperature a bit. The guy in the shower seems to like that, so you don't need to worry about him leaving anytime soon.
12 of 13: Go back and check on the shower to see if it's steamy enough now.
13 of 13: It is, so all you have to do to take the towel is click on it.
