The Longest Journey Hints

How do I sneak through the doors without the sergeant noticing me?

  • 1 of 8: Of course, you can't go through the doors until they're working first.
  • 2 of 8: Make her look away from the doors.
  • 3 of 8: She'll look somewhere else if she is busy.
  • 4 of 8: What do you think her job is?
  • 5 of 8: It probably has something to do with getting forms.
  • 6 of 8: Take a look at the shelves to find out which form is the farthest away from her.  (You won't be able to look at the shelves until you've tried to go through the doors at least once.)
  • 7 of 8: Once April looks at the shelves, she can then ask the sergeant for the form.
  • 8 of 8: While she's getting it, run through the doors.
