Secrets of the Ark: A Broken Sword Game Hints

How can I get up onto the green walkway?

  • 1 of 6: The way the boxes and big dumpster start out, it looks like you could get up onto the box next to the dumpster, and then climb onto the dumpster and then onto the walkway.
  • 2 of 6: However, Nico refuses to climb onto the dumpster. Maybe she thinks the junk inside looks dangerous to her health.
  • 3 of 6: The walkway isn't all that far up there. If you could move the dumpster aside and get a box to go where it was, you could probably get onto the box and then pull yourself up onto the walkway.
  • 4 of 6: After the dumpster's out of the way, pull/push one of the boxes until it's in the dumpster's old spot.
  • 5 of 6: When the box is in position, climb onto it by clicking on top of it.
  • 6 of 6: Then click on the climb icon you get when you point at the ledge above you. That'll get you up onto the green walkway.
