Broken Sword:
The Shadow of the Templars
Start by following the walkthrough in
the manual as follows: enter archway to right and check out the
sewer cover -- you need something to open it. Back to scene of
disaster and pick up newspaper. Check out cafe then talk to
waitress. Leave and head north for cut scene. After talking with
Inspector Rosso chat to reporter, Nicole (Nico), outside to learn
about Plantard -- the victim. Get her phone number. North again,
talk to workman and give him newspaper to get rid of him. Next get
rod from toolbox then back to sewer.
Sewer
Open cover with rod and enter. Take red nose. Go right to get tissue
and scrap of material. Up ladder next to railing and talk to
concierge in courtyard. Show him Inspector's card to get more useful
information. Show him everything, especially piece of material to
learn about green jacket and get tailor's phone number. Once outside
use workman's phone to call Nico and get her address. (You can also
call Todryk the tailor but you won't learn anything till you have
more info). Go right to map and choose Nico's place (Rue Jarry). On
arrival talk to flower seller to identify Nico's apartment and learn
about stuck door. Inside talk to Nico. Show her red nose to get
location of costume shop and material to get photo.

Talk to Rosso to learn that the case is closed. Now that you have
more info call Todryk the tailor to learn the whereabouts of Khan.
Hotel Ubu
Outside talk to thugs (Flap and Guido), they have no info but may
give you trouble later. Check out alley to left before entering. In
lobby chat to Nobel Prize winner and show him photo. He tells you
only that Khan is an enemy of his unpronounceable country. Next talk
to pianist, Lady Piermont. Show her photo of Khan to learn she knows
him as Moerlin and, for reasons of her own, would be delighted to
help you get into his room. She saw him deposit something
interesting in the hotel safe. Upstairs and check out the rooms,
they are locked, (note No 22 where the killer is staying).
Down stairs to reception and try to take key. You can't. Talk to
clerk about key and safe. You can't get into the safe without
identification, the key will open the door next to No 22 -- it might
be useful.
Back to Lady Piermont and enlist her help to get key. Upstairs and
use key to enter room 21. Nothing to take here, so out the window
and make your way to 22. Search room (nothing again) but note the
wardrobe is large enough to hide in. Open door to corridor and watch
cut scene as Khan returns and you scuttle into hiding place. Khan
gets changed and leaves, leaving his pants on the bed. Search pants
to find matchbook and pass card. Exit through door.
Downstairs and show pass card to clerk to get goodies from safe.
Doesn't work. Show matchbook and pass card to Lady Piermont and she
will help you get the contents of the safe (manuscript). If you try
to leave by the front entrance with the manuscript you are dead. So
back to room 21, open window and drop it into alley. Leave hotel and
retrieve it.
Nico's apartment
Learn about manuscript and Knights Templar and their treasure. Talk
to Nico and ask about manuscript to learn address of Museum. You can
now examine manuscript in more detail.

about Fitzgerald and also about castle and ghost. In pub talk to
everyone about castle, Peagram, gem., etc. Get towel from under
Patrick's arm when he takes a drink. Fitzgerald denies working at
dig.
Outside talk to Liam again and learn Peagram gave Fitzgerald a

the hay bales sometime.
Pub again, talk to sneezer once more, take rabbit snare when he
sneezes. You have to be quick. Talk to Patrick Doyle about Fitz and
buy him a drink to jog his memory. Talk to Fitz about dig and
package, he tells you about Marquet. After he disappears with the
gem and Liam reports the accident go outside and talk to Liam to
learn what happened to Fitz. Where is the gem? Maybe nearby?
The red sports car has done you a favour. The plastic box on the
wall is now broken. Look at switch. Use it and it will break off.
Inside pub again and talk to O'Brien about car and Doyle about
leprechauns. Buy a drink. (If you bought a drink earlier you will
need to drain your glass first). The pump doesn't work -- some idiot
broke it. Fortunately there's an electrician in the house -- you. So
show the publican Moerlin's electronics card and he will ask you to
fix the glass washer before tackling the pumps. Examine washer then
operate plug. It seems OK but use the wire on it just in case. Now
the washer works and you have access to the pumps.
Downstairs, it's dark so push lever then back outside to open
trapdoor and let in light. Khan will appear for a chat. Back in
cellar and get gem. You will automatically take the flashlight. Note
faucet and sink, you might need water later.
Castle
Visit farmer outside castle wall and talk about sports car. He will
leave you alone to guard the hay cart. Climb stack, it's not quite
tall enough. Examine wall to find crumbling stones. Use them to make
a hole then use rod to make step to finish scaling wall. Inside talk
to goat :-) look around to locate ladder and rusty plough then head
for the ladder. You'll get skewered for your trouble, note the goats
lead, you must tangle it by dashing quickly from ladder to plough.
Down ladder and examine panel and five holes in wall. Sticking your
fingers in the holes doesn't help so you need to find something to
put in them. Look around, take plaster of paris and push over statue
to make five indentations in sand.
Put plaster in holes -- now you need water so back to the cellar and
soak the towel. Castle again and use towel on holes to make cast.

door to get white coat. Back to ward for your 'rounds'. Chat to
Grendel again to get blood pressure gauge. Try, but you can't get to
Marquet's room till you take Sopmarsh's blood pressure and you don't
know how. Head for reception and talk to Benoir and Hagenmayer.
Benoir will now follow you back to the ward where you should give
him the pressure gauge and ask him to take blood pressure.
Now to Marquet's room, talk to gendarme on way. Inside follow

Enter church. Look at statue of knight holding scroll and sceptre.
Look through scroll to see portion of stained glass window. Leave,
you'll come back later.
Try to open sewer, you can't. Talk to gendarme and juggler. Make a
fool of yourself by juggling then talk to gendarme again and show
him red nose. He'd be impressed if you were a clown so juggle again
to upstage the juggler to get rid of him and the gendarme. Open
cover with rod and down.
Ignore path to left and cross bridge. Examine first archway, it's
hollow with cracked plaster, use rod on it to reveal cogs and lever
(door mechanism). Pull lever then turn handle on boat to lower
chain. Take hook and attach it to door mechanism. Turn handle again
to destroy doorway. Inside and look at patch of light at top of
stairs to witness meeting of 'neo Templars' and learn about broken

Up steps at right of screen. Talk to carpet seller and show him
matchbook. When he pulls the carpet aside continue up to Club Alamut
and talk to Ultar (taxi driver). Show him photo to learn about Bulls

locked. Read sign then talk to Ultar for a translation and to learn
about missing toilet brush. Back to street and look at kebab seller
(Arto), he has the brush. (Don't forget to 'look' at him by clicking
the right mouse button or you will get stuck at this point!) Ask
Nejo about Arto. He will help you out here if you give him the ball,
so learn 'polite' Arab phrase. Use phrase on Arto and he will chase
you. Back to Nejo to get toilet brush then up to Club Alamut. Talk
to Ultar for translation of phrase then give brush to manager for
key to toilet. In toilet take chain, unlock towel cabinet and take
towel.
Nejo again who is bouncing his ball against door. Touch cat then

tissue on it before selling it to Duane for $50. Back to Ultar and
arrange ride.

below find niche. Examine it and pull ring to open secret door.
Inside search body to get lens. Examine statue first, then

outside. Be good and be a man. When Khan gets friendly use buzzer to
shake his hand. Jump off cliff to save yourself.

place of Don Carlos. Examine tomb in far corner to left of windows
to see biblical references.
Excavation
Museum again. Talk to Lobineau to learn about Baphomet and
excavation. Go to dig site, talk to painter, note paint then enter.
Inside look around, you can't enter the left door so ask guard about
toilet (to get key) and thermostat (to learn he wears gloves in the
cold). Enter toilet, examine keys to learn that key ring also has
key to other door. Take soap and make key imprint. Sprinkle plaster
then water on imprint to copy key. It's the wrong colour -- remember
the paint. Outside, the painter won't let you near the paint so call
Nico and get her to make diversion. Dip key in paint. Inside, turn
down thermostat, exchange keys in toilet. You can now return fake
key to guard -- its the right colour and he won't notice it doesn't
feel right with his gloves on -- but next you must get rid of him.
Use the phone trick again then enter excavation. Inside use chalice
on mosaic floor to see church image, you are transported back to
Nico.

Return chalice to countess. Chat to her about biblical references,
you need bible. Get the one from the mausoleum and whilst there

attach tissue then use it on left candle. (You might need to close
the window). Watch sequence to get stone key. Back to house and take
mirror from the utility room. Up to countess and use bible for talk
of biblical references and lost well. Now ask Lopez about well for
info on divining twig and hazel tree. No luck with that tree, find
another (at side of villa) and get twig. Back to Lopez and show him
stick -- happy hunting sequence.
In well examine lion's head. Use fang then step back quickly.
(Phew). It's dark, just another brick wall. You need light so use
