Secrets of the Ark: A Broken Sword Game Hints
How can I get across this puzzle?
1 of 7: Check the manuscript book for some info on it.
2 of 7: Just to the left of the Latin text are some symbols that look like the ones you can see on the floor tiles.
3 of 7: You can point at each symbol on the manuscript to see what name is associated with it.
4 of 7: And you can click on the interactive text to the right of the symbols to get a set of rules governing this puzzle.
5 of 7: The rules state that in the correct sequence, certain symbols cannot follow certain other symbols, and so forth.
6 of 7: You could just ignore all of that and use trial and error to cross the puzzle. You always get smushed when you choose a wrong tile, so it wouldn't take too long to figure it out that way.
7 of 7: Or you can just gaze upon the graphic below, which shows the correct route across without bothering to include the tile symbols.
