Secrets of the Ark: A Broken Sword Game Hints

Searching for the Ark

  • 1 of 6: About the only interactive thing in the little room you're in is the cross puzzle on the right wall, so see about solving it.
  • 2 of 6: After you finish the cross puzzle, go through the door it opened and down the hall to find a big floor tile puzzle just around the corner.
  • 3 of 6: In the next room, it's easy to get George past the big floor holes, but he then falls into a deadly floor trap.
  • 4 of 6: In the room beyond, you'll find a large stone door with a fancy statue embedded in it.
  • 5 of 6: Move past the door and into the room where the ark was kept to find it missing. Anna Maria gets so upset, she triggers a poison gas trap!
  • 6 of 6: Go through the open door and down the hall to reach the spot where the ritual to make Nico into the "Angel of Death" has already started. And thus begins your last task: The rescue.
