Conspiracies Hints
Argiriou's office has some sort of alarm near the door. How can I get past it?
1 of 12: Notice that Nick doesn't walk very far into the room before it goes off.
2 of 12: Also notice the little red dot that appears on his leg briefly in the FMV scene.
3 of 12: Apparently Argiriou has one of those laser alert systems. You know, where there are invisible beams crossing the room, and the alarm sounds the instant any of those beams is obstructed by a solid object.
4 of 12: How are such beams detected by professional crooks in the movies?
5 of 12: Since the beams aren't sufficiently interrupted by a fine mist to sound the alarm, but are clearly visible in such a mist, the pros usually use a spray can to determine the exact whereabouts of the beams.
6 of 12: Nick doesn't have any spray cans, but he can have a container of very fine powder. That should work just as well.
7 of 12: You need the Talc from the Pallatino Dressing Rooms area.
8 of 12: Once you have it, use it to locate the beams so Nick can carefully step over them.
9 of 12: In order to do that, you'll have to use the talc powder directly on one of the two laser beam emitters.
10 of 12: You can find one on each side of the room, on the wall very near the floor.
11 of 12: One is between the two red chairs on the left, and the other is near the big statue on the right side.
12 of 12: Use the talc on either emitter to get Nick safely into the office.
