Secrets of the Ark: A Broken Sword Game Hints

How can I enter the building from on the roof?

  • 1 of 7: There's nothing of use to the left of where you climb up, so check out the area to the right.
  • 2 of 7: It's impossible to see because of the extremely dark shadows, but there's a big hole nearby.
  • 3 of 7: It's just past the interactive box and rusty pipe.
  • 4 of 7: Click on both of those items to see if you can do anything with them.
  • 5 of 7: You can push the box into the hole to see where it is, and judge that it's too deep to risk dropping down.
  • 6 of 7: It's preventing you from exploring the roof further, so you'll need to find a way to cross it.
  • 7 of 7: A bit beyond that hole is another one. It gives you the climb cursor when you point at it, so it must be your way into the building.
