Secrets of the Ark: A Broken Sword Game Hints

How can I solve the angel statue puzzle?

  • 1 of 9: First, check out all of the statues' interactive hotspots.
  • 2 of 9: Each statue has a head that you can examine or try to move, plus two rotatable hourglass carvings set into the base just below the statue.
  • 3 of 9: You'll need to find yourself a clue as to how to set the hourglasses before you can do anything with the heads.
  • 4 of 9: After the hourglasses are set, it's time to fiddle with the angels' heads.
  • 5 of 9: The left head will lock in place, but the right head won't.
  • 6 of 9: Try locking the left head in place and then using the right head.
  • 7 of 9: That opens a stone slab between the two statues, but it closes again as soon as George lets go of the right angel's head.
  • 8 of 9: So have your eager companion hold it for you.
  • 9 of 9: Use Brother Mark's head from inventory on the right angel statue's head to get him to hold it in place.
