Conspiracies Hints
How can I open Argiriou's safe?
1 of 27: The nature of the locking mechanism should be fairly clear once you have the safe out to where you can examine it.
2 of 27: That's clearly a fingerprint scanner, with individual scans made on each finger.
3 of 27: I rather doubt it'll open up for Nick's hand, since his fingerprints won't match Argiriou's.
4 of 27: How might you get ahold of a set of Argiriou's fingerprints to use on the safe?
5 of 27: Remember, this is the office you were in during the game's opening FMV sequence when Argiriou was pressuring Nick into working for him.
6 of 27: The FMV at that point made a big deal of showing Argiriou touching the ashtray on his desk with his bare fingers, and now you know why!
7 of 27: But you can't even pick up the ashtray. How are you going to get the fingerprints from it to the safe?
8 of 27: Try transferring the fingerprints from the ashtray to some hand-shaped thing you can use on the safe.
9 of 27: Gotten any hand-shaped objects from anywhere?
10 of 27: How about a glove? It might work!
11 of 27: Get the Glove from the Pallatino Dressing Rooms area.
12 of 27: But the glove won't take and preserve fingerprints very well like it is. You need to do something to it so that it can.
13 of 27: Too bad it's not a clear plastic glove. Then it would have a better chance of working.
14 of 27: Do you have anything that is a clear, film-like plastic?
15 of 27: You need the roll of Cling Film from Dendrinou's house.
16 of 27: Now you need to figure out how to get little square pieces of cling film stuck to each fingertip of the glove.
17 of 27: First, cut out the little squares.
18 of 27: This requires the Scissors from Jenny's apartment.
19 of 27: Use the scissors on the cling film in inventory to get the squares cut.
20 of 27: Next, glue the little squares to the fingertips of the glove so they won't come off easily.
21 of 27: This requires a sticky substance that, by coincidence, has to do with fingers.
22 of 27: Or fingernails, rather.
23 of 27: You need the little bottle of Nail Varnish from the Pallatino Dressing Rooms area. You know it's sticky because Nick says so when you right-click on the bottle for a description.
24 of 27: Use the nail varnish on the glove in inventory, then use the little cling film squares on the glove to stick them in place.
25 of 27: Now you have a state-of-the-art fingerprint fakin' device!
26 of 27: Use the glove on the ashtray to get Argiriou's fingerprints on it, then go use it on the safe's handprint scanner to unlock the safe.
27 of 27: Then click on the scanner again to open the safe at last.
