Secrets of the Ark: A Broken Sword Game Hints

How can I get this guy to leave?

  • 1 of 10: Have you talked to him several times to see if you can get any useful clues?
  • 2 of 10: He seems awfully proud of his Elvis duds and hairdo.
  • 3 of 10: What if they were to get all wet? He'd probably have to run off and dry them, or something.
  • 4 of 10: If you look around on the ceiling near him, you'll see a couple of sprinklers.
  • 5 of 10: If you could find a way to set them off, they'd get him wet, and off he'd go!
  • 6 of 10: Once you have the idea of extinguishing the creep, you'll have to figure out how to set off the sprinklers.
  • 7 of 10: To do that, you'll need to get yourself a lighter.
  • 8 of 10: After you get the lighter, go back upstairs and see what you can light up with it.
  • 9 of 10: The sprinklers will all start spraying water soon after you get the dry flowers lit.
  • 10 of 10: As predicted, the Elvis goon will get all upset about his precious hair and suit getting wet, and will run for "safety" as fast as he can.
