Conspiracies Hints
How do I find Argiriou's safe this time?
1 of 20: Do like you did in his office and search around to find the hidden gimmick.
2 of 20: Have you gone around and right-clicked on everything in the house to get a description of it?
3 of 20: Have you done that with the fire in the fireplace?
4 of 20: Nick says something about putting the fire out. Maybe you should try doing just that.
5 of 20: You don't need to find some fancy, unobvious solution for this one.
6 of 20: You need a plain old simple fire extinguisher.
7 of 20: It's just like that Argiriou character to leave a fire burning and not have a single extinguisher in the house!
8 of 20: Where else might you find an extinguisher?
9 of 20: Hotels usually have plenty on hand so their customers will feel safe.
11 of 20: Then return here and use it on the fire in the fireplace.
12 of 20: Now you can enter the fireplace.
13 of 20: That doesn't seem very useful at first, perhaps, but it sounds like the kind of place Argiriou would hide something.
14 of 20: Something like his house safe's trigger mechanism.
15 of 20: You need to carefully search the inside of the fireplace for a brick that's sticking out farther than the other ones.
16 of 20: It's a short distance above Nick's head, and is one of the darker red bricks. You can't tell that it sticks out unless you're looking at it from an angle instead of straight-on.
17 of 20: If you can't see it and can't find it by randomly clicking around on all the bricks, try increasing the game's Gamma setting (under the "Options / Display" menu). I had to before I could ever find the right brick.
18 of 20: Press the secret brick to lower a platform with stairs right next to the fireplace.
19 of 20: Climb up the stairs onto the platform and wait for it to raise back up. You're now at the safe's entrance!
20 of 20: NOTE: To get back down, press the red button to the left of the safe's door.
