Secrets of the Ark: A Broken Sword Game Hints

Getting into compound

  • 1 of 6: Your first problem is the locked outer gate that's preventing you from entering the compound's fenced-in area.
  • 2 of 6: As you move down the compound's central street, examine the large building on the left carefully, since that's the one you need to get into.
  • 3 of 6: There's a door down at its other end, but it can't be opened. Search carefully along the building's wall for another possibility.
  • 4 of 6: About halfway down the wall, there's a raised fire escape ladder that's interactive, but you can't reach it.
  • 5 of 6: Once you're on the main building's roof, you'll still have to figure out how to get inside the building.
  • 6 of 6: As soon as you're in, you'll start on the "Searching loading bay" task.
