Secrets of the Ark: A Broken Sword Game Hints
Where can I get something with a higher alcohol content?
1 of 11: Who around here might have what you need?
2 of 11: That drunken bum, Archie, is lounging around on a bench near the area's rightmost map transition point (the one you entered through).
3 of 11: Check out the bottle on the ground next to him.
4 of 11: After trying to take it, talk to Archie about it.
5 of 11: The second time you ask him about it, you'll get a list of items you can try trading him for it.
6 of 11: However, he doesn't want anything you have.
7 of 11: That means you'll have to get something he does want nearby.
8 of 11: The only possibility is the champagne bottle you found in the trash can. Since you're not going to start your fire with it anyway, you might as well give it to him.
9 of 11: If you haven't picked it up yet, move the cursor carefully over the top of the trash can until you get the hand icon, then click.
10 of 11: Now go talk to Archie about his meths bottle and trade him the champagne for it.
11 of 11: NOTE: You have to give Archie the champagne in conversation, then pick up the meths bottle from the ground.
