Road to India Hints

What should I do about the hallway guard?

  • 1 of 8: Since he is leaning against a wall in a hallway, there is no way to slug him from behind.
  • 2 of 8: A stairwell leads up behind him, but the door to it is locked.
  • 3 of 8: Looking through the opening at the top of the stairs, you can see him directly below you.
  • 4 of 8: Dropping something heavy from that height would knock him cold.
  • 5 of 8: Your sabre will not work here. Find another object to throw.
  • 6 of 8: Walk back to the body of the third guard and up the stairs. Take a left and climb another set of steps.
  • 7 of 8: Take the jar (urn) from the alcove.
  • 8 of 8: Return to the opening above the hall guard and zoom for a closer look. When you can see him, drop the pot on his head.
