Secrets of the Ark: A Broken Sword Game Hints
How can I get the key from Duane?
1 of 11: It should be clear that you'll need to use some item or items on the drain hole in order to get the key.
2 of 11: If you don't have your inventory back yet, then you didn't finish the "Finding Clothes" task, and need to go do so now.
3 of 11: Look through your items to see what you could lower down through the drain hole that Duane can hook the key on so you can pull it up to you.
4 of 11: Something that's hook-shaped would be ideal.
5 of 11: You've got a paperclip. They can be bent into hook-like shapes.
6 of 11: But this one little clip is so small, George is afraid that he'd drop it down the drain and lose it.
7 of 11: So attach it to something that'll allow it to go down the drain a ways without getting dropped.
8 of 11: Some sort of string or chain would be nice.
9 of 11: How about the bead string that the rosary is on?
10 of 11: Use the paperclip with the rosary to combine the two items.
11 of 11: Then use the combo item on the drain hole to get the key.
