Secrets of the Ark: A Broken Sword Game Hints
How can I get the safe where it needs to go?
1 of 8: Notice what Nico says about how each of the four roller direction controls work all of the rollers at once.
2 of 8: Try using the arrows at the bottom of the screen to see what happens.
3 of 8: What you need to do is maneuver the ore hoppers out of the way so the safe will have a clear path to the centrifuge's doorway.
4 of 8: Try to do moves that cause the hoppers to get stuck in the corners and side areas.
5 of 8: Also, note that you need to get the hopper that starts near the centrifuge's doorway out of the way before the safe can get by.
6 of 8: You'll probably want to start by moving things down so that the door-blocking hopper is in the main conveyor area. You can then figure out how to move things left and right until you can get the safe to go up past all the hoppers.
7 of 8: Read on for one of many possible solutions. Note that the puzzle has to be in the starting configuration for this exact move list to work.
8 of 8: The moves down, down, down, left, and left will get the safe a clear path to the doorway, so just use "up" after that until it's in position.
