Secrets of the Ark: A Broken Sword Game Hints
Which wire goes from a negative terminal to the trigger box?
1 of 7: First, notice that there are two batteries. They're the gray-ish metal boxes at the bomb's upper left corner.
2 of 7: Unfortunately, their terminals aren't marked as to which is positive and which is negative.
3 of 7: But think. Which battery wire color is usually associated with positive, and which with negative?
4 of 7: Red is usually positive, and blue is negative.
5 of 7: You can verify this by examining the wires that are attached to the batteries. Both red wires are connected to positive terminals, and both blue wires are connected to negative terminals.
6 of 7: Since you want a wire that's attached to a negative terminal, you'll clearly need one of the two blue wires.
7 of 7: Clicking on them for descriptions, you'll find that the lowest blue wire is connected to the secondary trigger device. That's your first wire!
