Secrets of the Ark: A Broken Sword Game Hints

How can I get it up and running?

  • 1 of 5: Try examining it to find the problem.
  • 2 of 5: The back of the control panel (the side you can see clearly) looks like it has some exposed wires, so check those.
  • 3 of 5: If you click the gear icon on the exposed wire section, Nico will say that she can't just stand there and hold two wires together. Apparently, that's what needs doing.
  • 4 of 5: Maynard won't do it for you, so you'll have to find something to stick those wires together with.
  • 5 of 5: Even with the wiring fixed, your problems with this panel aren't over, as you'll learn when you try to use it again.
