Secrets of the Ark: A Broken Sword Game Hints

How can I raise the safe with this thing?

  • 1 of 6: First, move the pulley gimmick to the right.
  • 2 of 6: Then lower it by using the down arrow.
  • 3 of 6: Then leave the control panel and climb down to the room below.
  • 4 of 6: The pulley is hanging directly above the safe, but there's nothing on it that you can use to attach it to the safe's top "handle."
  • 5 of 6: Once the safe is attached, climb back up and use the pulley control panel again.
  • 6 of 6: This time, you want to move the pulley thing up and then left to get the safe set onto the nearby conveyor system.
