VIII• Disclaimer /~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ | II• Introduction | \~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~/ Within the world of point and click adventure games, the PlayStation manages to have little good ones compared to his (indirect) rival, the PC. This is mainly because the PC has the advantage of the mouse (POINT and CLICK, see?). Ok, there is also the SONY mouse but, hey you haven't bought a PSX in order to get a mouse have you? So are there any good point & click adventure games for the PSX? Well, lucky you, yes! In fact, the Broken Swords series rules but you can also find other, rather good P.&C. adventure games for your favorite console! I would recommend you to check out some of the Microids ones (The Amerzone, Dracula Resurrection... But in no way The last report, no, not even for a friend you hate...). So here is a walkthrough for the sequel of Broken Sword. I know there are, at least, 2 other walkthroughs/FAQ's for this game BUT, this one is different! Inspired by the EXCELLENT Silent Hill Plot Guide of President Evil , that I invite you to read at gamefaqs.com, I decided apply this idea, do a walkthrough look like a real story, on Broken Sword 2. I'm in no way gonna make a thesis like him as I don't feel too capable of this yet. I'm just gonna stick on this walkthrough. 'Hope you'll enjoy this guide as much as me writing it! /~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ | III• About the Author | \~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~/ Not that this section is absolutely necessary, but you may want to know who wrote this and maybe would care in seeing some other works he may have done. I particularly like to find this section (dealing about the author)in a walkthrough as it allows a certain relation between an author and his reader. If you found this walkthrough at GameFAQs, you should try and click on my name next to the title of my walkthrough as you can find all my work listed there. If you found this elsewhere, I'll tell you a little of my previous works below. You must first know that I'm specialized more in platform games walkthroughs and guides. I'm the author of the -only- complete Toy Story 2 guide on the net (couldn't find another one that was complete!). I've also wrote a Spyro 2 and Overblood 2 Walkthrough. The Amerzone was my first and only point& click walkthrough and I think I made a good job on it. I also tried to go into racing game guides. Not being straightforward, it was kinda hard but I managed to do an Endurance Guide for Gran Turismo 2. I'm now comin' with another point& click walkthrough. Broken Sword 2. I'm trying to do this walkthrough different from any other one I may have wrote 'till now. In fact, what I want to do is to make it look like a story. I mean, when YOU read this walkthrough I don't want you to think "Pfiu, well yet another walkthrough for B.S. 2", NO, I want you to think "Hey, I appreciated reading this walkthrough as it does not talk to me as if I was a stupid monkey but deals about it more deeply! Who's the author?" I hope that after reading it, this would be your thought. Oh, I'm open to any proposition, criticism, admiration, consternation or exaltation mails...

Enjoy... | | | +~WARNING~WARNING~WARNING~WARNING~WARNING~WARNING~WARNING~WARNING~WARNING~+ After successfully resolving the Templars secret, George Stobart, a young and handsome American tourist has to leave his girlfriend, Nicole Collard, in order to go and see his ill father. Back in France, George finds that Nico has changed. Apparently she has found another man, but also an Intriguing Stone. In order to have some more information's about this stone, Nico asks George to come with her in order to see a famous archeologist, Professor Oubier. As they are walking toward the beautiful villa of the professor, the game shows some "flash's". These seems to be a comparison or a strange fact that occurs in the same time. So as our two heroes are approaching this intriguing house, the intro opens on a Pyramid, a big pyramid with some kind of adepts in front of it... George knocks at the door. Strangely, an Indian man opens it not really looking like a professor or something. George starts to have a bad feeling about all this story. While walking up the house's stairs, the game shows us a man (seems like an Indian although I'm not sure) tied up, walking on some steps. Steps of a Pyramid. This like if George and Nico were compared to him. The Indian opens a door's room and let his two guests get in first. Suddenly, the man hits George on the head (*Now here's some action*) that falls like a stone on a wheelchair... Nico, has no time to react because a small poisoned dart just hit her on the neck. She falls unconscious on the floor with the dart hitting the ground next to her. The Indian, seeing George on the chair, decides to tie him up. At the same time, the other man, the one who threw the poisoned dart, lay a box down on the floor. Meanwhile, on the Pyramid, the sacrifice of the tied up man seen before takes place, seeing a sorcerer taking the heart of the poor man out of his ribcage. The spider not being challenging enough for George, the Indian man, taking Nico, throws a petrol lamp down on the carpet that sets on fire immediately. (*That's all about the Intro, I think*) As George wakes up with a terrible headache, a threatening Tarantula is walking toward him. Luckily, he found that the bookcase next to him is maintained only by a little piece of wood. Reacting fast, he kicks off the piece. The heavy bookcase falls on the tarantula making a spider soup. George have now to get rid of his ties. A piece of metal getting out of the wall just behind of where the bookcase was, is exactly what he needs. Being free, Georgie thinks that he can now escape. Unfortunately, the door is blocked by the fire and the windows by solid bars. No problem, as a tourist, George decides to check out the room. He soon finds Nico's bag under a window. It surely felt there when she's been hit by the dart... Inside, he takes her lipstick, a note, and some exotic panties. Well, you never know when it could be of some use... Searching around the room, he opens the drawer of the cabinet next to the window. Inside he founds a small decorated pot. Also, just above this drawer, in the cabinet, he founds a bottle of tequila. Our alcoholic hero, after just preventing himself of swallowing the worm, decides to take the small repugnant dead animal as a "souvenir" of this tremendous day. George being prisoner in a burning house, has to find a solution quickly. Searching a way to extinguish the fire, he notices a siphon on the cabinet next to the door. Unfortunately, there is no gas in the siphon. Wanting to open the cabinet just under the siphon, he founds out that this one is locked. Argg, being sure that the solution to extinguish the fire is inside the cabinet, he really wants to open it. But how? Hey... What's this at one corner of the carpet? The poisoned dart that hit Nico minutes before. He takes it and, in a genius inspiration, he manages to open the cabinet. Inside? A cylinder! Too hot to take it with his bare hands, George uses the panties found in Nico's bag in order to get hold of it. Using it on the empty siphon, he just made a ready to use fire-extinguisher... Using it on the fire, he burst his way out of the room. George finds himself in the hallway without any clue of where to find Nico. Re-reading the note found in Nico's handbag, he decides desperately to call his rival, André Lobineau. As George knows the feelings of André about him and Nico, he tries to call him calmly. After a brief explanation of George, André tells him to meet at the café of Maufauçon. While hanging down the phone, George notices a newspaper dealing of a total eclipse of the sun that could be visible from Mexico. While getting hold of it, a small piece of paper falls from inside the newspaper. It was a bank statement of our famous professor. Weird! He retrieved a lot of money from Marseilles, a big town south of France next to the Mediterranean sea. Wanting to go out of the house, George founds out that the house door is locked. Of course he don't have the key. Having no solution for this problem, George searches in his –large- pockets. While looking at the pot he found in the drawer, a key falls... Lucky, it was the house key. George now goes to the café decided to find his Girlfriend... George arrives soon at the café without finding Lobineau there. This place, Maufauçon, brings back a lot of memories at him. This was where he explored the sewers in order to meet a secret reunion of the Templars about six months ago. Not willing to make a trip in the sewers again, he decides to wait for André at café. But, that man next to him seems familiar. Approaching, he recognize the inspector that prevented him to enter these same sewers a couple of months before. George engages a conversation with him and soon founds out that he is not in the police anymore. What's more, he seems to have turned alcoholic after that. Thirsty, George calls the waiter. He IGNORES him. French waiters seems to be really rude with strangers... Insisting, George manages to get a cup of coffee... George talking to the waiter about Oubier and André and finds out that Oubier has been suspected of killing his wife a couple of years before. What's more, lack of proofs prevented him from being arrested. That is when André comes. André is a young French student in history with a characteristic blond pony tail that makes him look kinda weird. George informing him of the situation more deeply, André shows George the Stone that may have killed him. It was some kind of Mayan Stone showing, what seems like, a coyote. George showing the odd pot he found at the professor's house, manages to get the address of a friend of André that could be found at the Glease gallery. After thanking André for his help, George talks about his girlfriend at the ex-inspector. The Old depressive man, brings his head into his hands. This is when George takes the old man's little alcoholic drink that may come in handy. Having now another lead, the Glease Gallery, George decides to go there. Meanwhile, at Marseilles, Nico's being interrogated by Karzac about the same Mayan stone. Nico tries, without success, to build up a story in order to protect André. Karzac decides to interrogate the young lady the next day with the help of Pablo, Oubier's butler. Arriving at the Glease Gallery, George founds out that it was stylish and class, but by the other way, had very few customers, only some tourists, an art critic and the owner. Mr. Glease, the owner looked like André in older. With the same eyes, same expression and, most important, the same damn pony tail. By talking to him, George soon finds out that Professor Oubier was, for the owner, synonymous of Mayan art. By pushing a little more the conversation, George soon found out that Oubier was importing artifacts in France by the docks. As the "European" Glease would not tell anything more to him, George decides to look around for some clues. Reaching the back of the boutique, André's friend prevents our hero to read and examine the crates there because it was a private area. George had now to distract Glease's attention in order for him to check these boxes. Maybe a little help of the critic would come in handy, George engages a conversation with him but as he was showing him the valuable Mayan pot he had found at Oubier's house, that creep just smashes it on the floor explaining his act by saying it was a disgrace for the "art". Now wanting his revenge, George thinks of a plan. This is when he notices that the fat critic was holding a cup of alcohol. Having some absinthe from the ex- gendarme seen before, George drops just a little in his glass hoping he would not notice the change of color. By doing this twice, the fat man falls on the shelf just behind him smashing it by the same time. Well that was some good distraction... While Mr. Glease was busy taking care of his "precious" art critic, George had all the time in the world to look at the boxes lying behind the gallery for clues. He soon finds a ripped ticket of "Condor Transglobal" with the first four letters of a word "MARS...". Mars, mars, hey, Marseilles, wasn't it there that Oubier withdrew some money? Yes, and Condor Transglobal surely had some attach there. /~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ | - Marseilles | \~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~/ By taking the evening train, George arrived in Marseilles in the early night. He soon arrives at the port, tracing the company 'till a desolated dock. A fence prevented him from continuing his quest. No problem for our sport hero, he would just jump past the fence when a bulldog rushes out of nowhere and starts barking. That is when a fat guy comes out from the little warehouse next to the fence. The guy explained him that the animal was a TRAINED ATTACK DOG and by this mean he would not be able to pass by him. By looking by the window of the warehouse, George manages to spot a hole on the little house's floor. By talking to the watchman, George finds that he won't be able to get pass this fence normally before the end of the national holidays and that means, not before about a month. Getting down some stairs next to the house, George arrives next to the sea. Dirty water was surrounding the docks. This was not a surprise as even the fat guy threw his scraps in there. In fact, just by looking at these he could trace the dinner the fat guy had ate during this week... Disgusting. By looking closely to all these things floating calmly on the water, George soon finds a stick. When he takes it, he notices that in fact it was a hook stick, well, for hooting boats. With it, he manages to get the bottle the watchman threw in the water just minutes before. Going back up, George notices a chimney by witch the bean's smoke was getting out. Using the water that was still in the bottle he just took, George manages to cool down the conical hat of the chimney just enough so he could take it out. By putting the –now- empty bottle in the chimney, he manages to fill the warehouse with smoke and by this mean, get the fat watchman out of it. George manages to sneak in the house by the hole he had noticed before. In the warehouse, George takes a piece of coal for good luck and some dog biscuits. Just when he was closing the trap, George hears the door slam. Pfiu, that was close. Hey, the dog is still here barking. Lets give him some dog biscuits maybe it will calm him down. The biscuits had no effect on the dog! But noticing a short platform that could be either raised or lowered, George has a idea. By throwing a biscuits onto the platform, George sees the dog getting on it soon. By using his boat hook on the platform he gives the dog a dive in the dirty water. Without the dog preventing him to jump pass the gate, George was now able to continue his quest. George soon finds the condor door and tries to knock at it. Unluckily, a fan was covering the noise. Using the ladder next to the establishment, George manages to spot an open window and pass his head through it. The noise the fan was making prevented him from hearing the conversation between Pablo and Titipoco. Using his boat hook on the fan, George just smashed it and by this way, killed the noise. Without the fan's noise, George could now hear the conversation. Pablo seemed upset by the fact that they haven't found the stone. Without the fan's noise, George could now knock at the door. It's Pablo that answered. Pretending being from the Police, George just manages to make Pablo angry. But while he was opening the door, George managed to quickly get with the ladder just above him. When Pablo was out, George threw two crates at him, sending him out for a bath. Once inside, George looks out for clues after closing carefully the door. On the notice board, he finds a paper dealing about Quaramonte City in South America. In the drawer, he founds a small key. When he was passing in front of the crates in order to go to the elevator, Titipoco appears and prevents him to pass. Titipoco didn't knew apparently English and the only word George manages to get is Quaramonte. When George shows the key he found in the drawer, Titipoco got out of the crates showing that he's been tied up with some chains. Getting these out of Titi's foots, George takes them and Titi disappears behind the crates. Taking the elevator, George arrives at the 2nd floor. In order to keep the doors open, George pushes a crate on the light beam so that Pablo could not come up. Next to the elevator, George finds an unmarked switch. By pushing it, a light opens at the other side of the room. There, on the floor, George notices a faint mark. Examining the wall next to it, he soon finds a hidden door. Inside, was Nico, tied up. George quickly slap the tape and untie the cord. Nico explains George that she was in fact behind a big drug story with Karzac being the main criminal mastermind. While disguised as a courier man, she was given the Mayan stone. In order to find out more, she got to Professor Oubier with him. The rest is well known now... Taking the little statue that was on the floor next to the chair where Nico was, George goes back to the big room. In the room, George uses the tape on the light beam and pushes the box back to its initial place. He then pushes the box saying "live contents, do not drop" on it and finally pushes the last box out of the way. Using the lever that was previously unreachable, he manages to elevate the big statue about six inches above the ground. He then attached the rope with witch Nico was tied up on the statue and on the chain and pushed the lever again. Trying to push the statue, he finds out that it is too heavy for him. Asking Nico to help him, they manage to push the statue and smash the door out. Outside, using the chains of Titipoco, our two heroes manage to escape from the condor establishment but fall in the Marseilles water. After a –needed- shower, Nico and George meet André at the Glease Gallery where our French pony tail man give the stone at George. Wanting to find out the secret behind the Mayan stone, our couple decides to go at Quaramonte city... /~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ | - Quaramonte City | \~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~/ Arriving at Quaramonte, our couple finds a sunny and calm little town. Apparently, it is market day and, in the town square, are exposed lots of stuffs and foods. Letting Nico make a tour of the city, George decides to look around for any trace of Condor Transglobal. Passing in front of the police station, a known voice calls him. Was it possible? Pearl, a fellow American tourist met during the Templars affair in Syria was right in front of him. Ms. Henderson was a "strong" woman that was running all around the world just for shopping. By talking with her a little, George soon finds out that she came out here by truck with her husband Duane and that she wanted to go to see the ruins but not him. Calling Nico, George then goes into the police station. Inside the station, that was also the tourism info center, our couple finds the local police figure, the General Grasiento with our famous archeologist, Professor Oubier! Both looking at a map fixed on the wall, they suddenly close when noticing them. Oubier getting out, George asks some questions to the General. This way, George learns that the professor came to Quaramonte in order to do some excavations. He came to see him in order to get some legal papers for his expedition. Not believing a word of what he said, our couple gets out of the station kinda upset. Once outside, George asks Nico what was her theory about the Mayan stone. Weirdly, she answers that it may represent a dog. - Yeah, the Chihuahua stone alright... Next time, George would not ask for theories at Nico. Going at the far west side of the town, George finds the professor along with Duane. This was the perfect opportunity to ask some questions to the professor. Asking about the Condor Transglobal Company, the professor informs him that it had bankrupted. Oubier also told that he was just seeking Mayan Artifacts in order to send them to France. When pronouncing the name of Karzac, the professor said that it was the one that was financing his expedition in central America and that without him he would not be here. Finally, when talking about the forthcoming total eclipse of the sun, Oubier said it represented the end of the fifth age for the local population. The fifth age being synonymous to total destruction of the planet. Having nothing else to ask to the professor, George notices two local people nearby the police station. Talking to them, he learns that their Pipe Player have been arrested for just playing Folk music. Soon, they inform George about an explosion in a mine that caused about 30 dead. Also, one of the two men had noticed a ship of condor Transglobal about three months ago. George soon finds out his name: "The Mayan Princess". This was proving that Condor Transglobal had some relation with this city. George encountered a weird reaction by all the people in this town and that happening when he was showing up the statue he had found next to where Nico was tied up in Marseilles. He soon finds out why. This statue represented in fact a god. A bad god, Tescatlipoca. For the locals, Tescatlipoca meant death and destruction also known as "The Lord of Darkness" or even better "The Hungry Chief". But he was most famous around there as "The Smoking Mirror". Why? Oubier was the one to answer this question. It was because of the mirror he was holding on one hand. It was said that when he looked in this mirror destruction and devastation occurred George decides to get to the excavation company with her girlfriend in order to find more about the accident in the mine. Conchita Garcia, the director of the mining company is very feminist. For proof, she suggested at her employees to work in... Panties... George hardly got some answers from her. She said that the Professor came to see her in order to hire some equipment's for a certain expedition. Talking about the explosion in her mine, the señiorita gets angry pretending a Sabotage for closing the mine down. The mine is about 7 days up the river and is named Teoculcan. Once back out, George goes to see Duane. He finds out that far from being retired, Duane was now in a secret mission for "Uncle Sam" (*"The United States" for those of you who are a little confused*). His mission? Save nobody else but Miguel, the Prisoner. For that, George had to find a detonator. Why? Because Duane's Truck was full of explosives but he had no detonator. Talking about the Condor Transglobal with Duane, George finds out that Condor Transglobal is in fact a cover company for some illegal stuff. His director being Eidan. Eidan meaning "Nothing" in Spanish. George had to take a look at that chart on the wall in the police station. He asks Nico to help him. Inside the station, George pretends that his girlfriend is a reporter that wants an interview of him. Excited, they both move out for the General's apartment. George had now to get rid of Renaldo. Asking him if he would take Pearl for a visit of the pyramids, the officer answers yes. With nobody in the Police station, George could now easily take a good look at the map. It was a geological survey map for the Quaramonte region. He finds a tick south east of Quaramonte about sixty miles inland and upstream. The site name was Teoculcan. Returning to the señiorita Garcia, he manages to get a detonator in order to free Miguel as the mine's name was Teoculcan. Giving the detonator to Duane, George runs to inform Miguel. That is when Renaldo comes back from the tour and traps George into a cell. Meanwhile, Nico was trapped with a sexual-psycho. She notices in his apartment some stuffs. A lava lamp, a –false- lion carpet a TV–set and a picture of La Presidente on the wall. Talking about these with Raoul. Suddenly her mother rushes in asking what happens in there? Pretending being a –silly- journalist, Nico hopes that George is using well the time she is buying him. - And then it goes "Fa, fa, fa, faa, faa, fa, faa, fa, fa, fa" George was showing the depressive Miguel one of his "hits" when he was in the school band of his high school. Hopefully then comes in Duane. Using his detonator, he just manages to do a unimpressive flatulent noise. George had once again to find a solution alone. Seeing the noose the general had putted in Miguel's cell, he has an idea. Asking the noose at Miguel, he takes it and ties it on the cell's bars. Giving the other end at Duane so he ties it to the truck. La Presidente was now pushing his son to ask Nico to marry him whiling some grandsons. BANG A big noise was coming from down the town square. As Nico was sure that George was involved in this, she rushes out of the apartment while the general was running to the balcony. Meanwhile, Miguel and George where getting out of the prison. Soon, Nico arrives and they rush all together to the river where the boat of one of Miguel's friend was waiting for them. The boat had now to get up all the river 'till the excavation site. As the night came, everybody fell asleep. Over the calm water, a noise could be heard. Soon a helicopter arrives just above the boat. First firing at it and then throwing something like a bomb on it. The boat EXPLODED almost immediately... /~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ | - The Jungle | \~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~/ (*NOTE: This level answers a lot of questions around the plot of the game. You must really listen carefully to what the shaman will say............*) When regaining consciousness, George finds himself by the side of the river in the jungle, miles away from civilization, what's more, he has a terrible headache. Just his luck being in Paradise with a migraine. Suddenly, he hears a music, like a piano or something. By following the music he soon reaches a wide area with a tree house. The music preventing him from being heard, and not having any ladder in order to reach the house, he has to find a way to attract the attention of anyone who might be in there. Noticing some damp leaves just under the house, he has an idea. He drops the bank statement of Oubier on the leaves and uses the Tescatlipoca statue on the wheel next to them. Soon, the house fills with smoke and an old man rushes out of it. - Extinguish this fire, says the man, I have an ill girl up here. After George has extinguish the fire, the man puts a ladder between him and our hero. The man introduces himself. - Father Hubers, he says. Father Hubers was a missionary that was to go up the mine when his boat capsized there. That was exactly what happened to George, that was eleven years ago... George soon finds out that the girl on the tree house is in fact Nico as she was talking French to the priest. She had apparently been beaten by a poisonous river snake. Now in the coma, the only way to save her was to find a root, the only known antidote for this snake bite. The missionary informs George that this root could be found at the village. But strangely the missionary was not very willing to go there. He pretends that he could not go without a pressed collar. Taking the collar, George tries to find a way to press it. He soon notices two round stones. Taking the large wooden cross under the tree, he manages to turn only one of the stones. Finding a vine rope at the other side of the area, on a wooden wheel, he tries to place it on the stones. Placing the collar just between these and using the cross he manages to press the priest's collar. George manages to find half of why he don't wants to go to the village. It had something to do with an "animal passion" and a "Monkey Dance". Not having time to spare and willing to get to the village before the night comes, the two men leave immediately. It was Sunset by the time they reached the village. The priest introduced his new friend to the two guardians of the village and took off almost immediately. Asking to see the shaman, George finds that he has to offer a tribute. Well, he had nothing more than some dog biscuits to offer so he tries it. When the first watchman came back, he asks some more biscuits for the shaman at George. In a genius inspiration, George puts the Mayan stone in the empty pack. Soon, the shaman asks to talk to him. At the center of the village, George finds the shaman sitting next to a fire. He soon asks George to sit around the fire with him. The shaman tells a least why Huber did not want to come here anymore. It was because he had 3 girls and 5 boys. All made during the "Monkey Dance", what seemed like a traditional dance. Mysteriously, the wise man soon lets the unimportant conversation subject about the priest and comes to a more mystic one. Strangely, it seemed that it was foretold that a white man would come with the Coyote stone to the village. This foreigner being their only hope of salvation. LONG ago, about 300 years before, a good god was ruling on his people bringing prosperity and happiness. The god name was Quetzacoatl. Unfortunately, one day came a bad god. A demon one may say. Quetzacoatl soon have been defeated by this horrible demon that brought only destruction and desolation. Aging for power and domination, this demon asked for more and more sacrifices. On a pyramid dedicated to him, the steps where red of the blood of the hundreds sacrifices he was asking. Men's, Women's, kids, animals, everything that had blood. The wise men of the city reunited secretly and made a mirror made by smooth obsidian stone that could trap the demon. Besides that, they made three little statues with the same stone, one representing a Coyote, another one a Jaguar, the last one having an Eagle on it. These three stones putted together could seal the mirror for the eternity. By flattery, the people managed to attract the demon into the Pyramid that was dedicated to him. Inside they managed to trap him into the magical mirror. The "Smoking" mirror. Before managing to reunite the three stones into the pyramid in order to seal the mirror, these have been abducted by the Spanish (because Quaramonte and generally south America was a Spanish colony). Without these stones, the Tescatlipoca would be free just after the fifth age that is symbolized by a total eclipse of the sun. The shaman had seen the stones in a vision. The Coyote Stone was the only of the three stones that manages to get back to Spain. It was the one that George had in his possession. The Jaguar stone had been took among other treasures within Quaramonte City by an English conqueror, El Draco. It is thought that it returned safely to England. As for the Eagle stone, it has been abducted while returning to Spain with other treasures. His thief? A pirate named Captain Ketch. Nobody knows for sure where he put the stone but one can think that it might be in his private island he bought afterwards with his steels, "Ketch's Landing". (*NOTE: You must now know more about the plot of Broken Sword as all the mystery part have been revealed by the shaman. One more thing I'd like to add: The French Version of the Game has as subtitle "Les boucliers de Quetzacoatl". Not knowing why it was called like this at first, I just managed to sort out a theory. Oh, the translation of this is "The shields of Quetzacoatl". Quetzacoatl being a good god, he might have not gone far away when being defeated (not being prisoner). He might have returned to help the wise men make the stones (and maybe the mirror too) as he might also have provided the obsidian stones. Now the shields at witch the French game is referring must be the three stones. In fact they act as a shield against Tescatlipoca! One more thing: This game is useful in order to understand other games. You might surely know the Final Fantasy Series right. Well Quetzacoatl being a Summon Materia in the 7th Fantasy and a Guardian Force in the 8th. We understand now why it is an ally of the hero in these two games and not an enemy: Because he is a good god.*) George takes finally the root promising he will pursue his quest known as to find the two other stones. Being late, he asks the shaman if he could sleep in the village for one night. Accepting that he rests here, the shaman warns George that he won't rest much as this night was the "Monkey Dance" One. Back to the tree house, George now had to make this root eatable. He puts the cone under the two big round stones and the root just between them, he then uses the cross in order to make a drink of the root. Taking the cone back, he runs up the ladder to the tree house. In the tree Nico was always in the coma but she soon reestablishes after George's given her the medicine(*Reminds me the hospital section in Broken Sword 1. BTW, I suggest that you play this game as well, ^_^*). Talking about the stones with Nico, they soon decide to split up in order to look for the stones more quickly. /~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ | - The Caribbean | \~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~/ George is the one that takes care of the Caribbean's (poor Georgie) and Nico the England. Arriving at the Ketch's Landing, George finds out that there's been a museum for the pirate. The same day he reaches a coast where the museum is. On the white clear sand, was a surveyor. His name was Bronson and seemed rather rude. This strange surveyor would not let George take a look at his plans. Why such a comportment for just plans? He might surely be planing something. On a little platform by the coast onto the sea, George finds a little kid near his boat, fishing. Rio was his name. He informed him that the Ketch's museum was just up the set of stairs that was riding up the cliff. Ketch was for Rio a pirate that got himself hang. Well, not much of information down on the coast, maybe George would gather more up, in the museum. Walking up the stairs, George notices a great white house just by the cliff. Siting in front of it, two old women one tall and thin, the other small and, well, fat. Playing with a ball on the grass was also a white kitty named Ruddles. The two women were in fact Ketch's descendent that were legally responsible for the museum as well as very well informed about they ancestor. Their name were Mina (the fat) and Fost (the thin) Ketch. They really were well informed about the history of their ancestor. That way, George manages to get Ketch's story. Ketch, Captain Frederick Ketch was born at Dorset a small town of England in 1670. When being in age to navigate freely on the sea, he embarks onto the "Jesus" witch captain was John HAWKINGS. The "Jesus" was traveling from England to Africa and sometimes to India. Once, the "Jesus" was to travel for the "new continent" and to never return from there. That was because of traitors seeking it. Soon, Ketch became a pirate, a "privateer" like the old women like to say. Anyway, he steals treasures from all south America's Spanish ships (including the Eagle stone)and soon have enough of money to retreat. He buys this island that he calls Ketch's Landing. One night, some people not happy of having a pirate for neighbor decide to hang him. He was brutally hung in front of his own family despite his "letter of marque" that left him pirate legally. It was told that an incredible treasure was hidden within the atoll surrounding his island. George learns that the museum was closed because of the surveyor's work and the two ladies would not let him pass through without a serious reason. The conversation soon switches to Emily. Emily being the very last descendent of the captain, she found herself adopted by the ladies after her parents horribly died in a typhoon. George after finding the museum door effectively closed, he decides that it was time for some diversionary tactic. He tells the two that he saw Emily with Rio down the beach, knowing the ladies repugnance for the little fisher-boy. Effectively, they soon disappeared in the horizon in despair search of Emily. Having some time to spare, George decides to go and see the little fisher boy. Having miraculously escaped from the two ladies, he was fishing calmly near his boat. George asks for a fish to the Boy giving him, as a bait, his tequila worm. In order to give Rio some time to catch the fish, George engages a conversation with Bronson. Having little conversation, George soon goes back to Rio. Just as he was coming, Rio was catching something. It seemed rather big, a whale or something. Unfortunately, no fish but a rusty bicycle wheel was trapped into the young boy's line. Finding only the inner tube useful, George takes it. Not happy of that, George waits just until Rio catches a fish. When he catches one at last, George goes back to the museum. Seeing the cat's ball, the theodolite spot and his inner tube, he has an idea. He uses the ladder in order to get to the flagpole and ties one end of the tube there. Getting down, he ties at the other end, the fish. Soon, the cat lets his ball, attracted by the fish's smell. After taking his ball, George gets up the ladder in order to take the inner tube back safely. Back down, George uses the inner tube on a U shaped tree branch that was just behind the two ladies chairs. Using the Red rubber ball, he strikes the theodolite reflector out of the flagpole in one shot. The theodolite reflector out, Bronson comes up to see what happens. He decides first to put back the target reflector and then beat up George. BIG MISTAKE as George takes the ladder from under Bronson's feet. Ha, ha, ha... "I can look at your plans now" thinks George as he takes the target reflector from the ground. Back down, George takes a close look at those plans. Hey, that's not a museum, that's a 200 roomed hotel theme around Ketch's treasure. Taking the theodolite in its pocket!!!! George gets back up in order to clear Bronson's secret project. Once there, he finds the Ketches waiting for him. They ask George to get the surveyor down, but clever George shows the two ladies the plan first. Owing one to George, they let him access the museum personally. Meanwhile, in the always raining London, Nico tries a long shot by visiting the National British museum. Looking into the far right side of the museum, Nico finds an obsidian stone. Asking the guardian about it, she soon finds the story behind this stone. In the 17th century, an English conqueror, Sir Francis Drake also known as "El Draco" went to the new continent in order to find some treasures for the GREAT BRITAIN. Back in England he had in his baggage's two obsidian stones, one called the scrying mirror the other one being the Jaguar stone. Back in England, Drake gaves both stones to his partner, John Dee. It was told that in the polished stone, called the scrying mirror, one could see angels whereas in the Jaguar one, Demons. Of course, at this time all sorts of drugs passed by the conqueror's hands so no proof could be given to these words. In order to learn more about these stones, the guardian introduces her to a specialist. But, who is it? Hey, that's professor Oubier alright. Oubier not having much to add, she lets him take off. But that was too weird to be a coincidence alright. When Nico asks the guardian to see the Jaguar stone, they both find an empty box. The silent alarm on, the guardian prevents now anyone from getting out. As Nico finds a key in the showing box where the stone was, the surveyor calls the police to inform that Oubier had stole the Jaguar stone. Questioning one last time the guardian, she manages to get the boat's name where Oubier was up to, "The Xibalba Princess". Well it was just not a coincidence after all... Meanwhile, Nico uses the key on a box next to the telephone in order to take a Mayan sacrifice dagger. Using it on the doors just behind the curtains at the left side of the museum, she manages to get out of it soon. Inside the museum, George finds a treasure crate. Hoping to find a treasure or something inside, he tries to open it. Inside no treasure but Emily, the little girl. Asking her about her grand-grand-grand-grand- father, she just tells that it was him on the picture in the far wall. Looking closely at the picture, he notices that Ketch had a cross around the neck, the same as Emily's. Not whiling to lend it, he had to think of a trade. Taking the quill on the central table, he goes out. Giving it to the cat outside of the museum, he manages to get a feather. Taking the feather to Rio, he trades it for a seashell. Going back up, Emily hardly gives the cross to George but he just somehow manages to get it. After examining the central table and the room, George has a genius inspiration. He takes the map from the desk at one corner of the room, the lamp on the wall and puts both on the table. The table was if like made for them. Finally putting the cross between the beam of the lamp and the chart, he manages to spot an island in the center of the cross's shadow. It was in the shape of a skull. It was called the "zombie" island. Going back on the beach he somehow manages to convince Rio to bring him there. Reaching the island, Rio refuses to get out of the boat. Well George would just have to do all the work alone. Trying to climb the cliff, Georges notices that is was too high for him. Noticing the fishing net in the little boy's boat, he asks if he could borrow it. Finally George eventually manages to climb the cliff. Nico, meanwhile, had reached an abandoned underground station of London. Three machines where put on the wall but only one seemed to work and that was the weight machine. The automatic ticket selling machine being useless, Nico manages to spot an old rusty coin in the chocolate vending machine. Using her clip found in her bag (*NOTE: Have you notice where she puts her bag? NO? Hey man, look at it more closely. Oh and manage to do that when she is facing the screen;-)*). Pushing the old coin into the machine, she manages to take it out from a compartment of the machine. Using it on the weight machine, she gets a ticket saying 13lbs(*NOTE: Could someone tell me how much it makes in Kg, thanks.*). Using the dagger on a panel on the left of the station, she manages to open it just tinny bit. In order to release the lock, she uses the ticket she just got. Doing as such, the next metro stopped at the station and Nico was up for the docks. /~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ | - Zombie Island | \~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~/ Reaching the top of the cliff, George notices two paths, one leading to the forest, the other to the center of the island. First taking the Forest path, he reaches a stagnant swamp. By the side of it he notices a clump of reeds. Useful it might be, he manages to take a short one. Pursuing his quest into the forest, he finds a weird tree. Under this tree not only was large stones but also a hole. In this hole beneath the rock was something small and fury. Soon the mind of George works fast and thinks of something. As he had a dart and also a reed, he could well make a weapon. Unfortunately, the reed was not only too long but also closed at one end. Putting the reed into the hole, whatever was in there managed to neatly cut one end of it. Continuing the path, George soon finds himself lost. Having hundreds of path he could follow and not remembering of where he came from, he just could not find his way out passing again and again from the same path. Hopefully, George manages to find a path leading back to the top of the cliff. Taking the other path leading to the center of the island George soon finds himself in front of an ugly and dangerous boar. This boar was not whiling to let George pass through, what seemed, the only path he could take. Not having any other alternative, George uses his poisoned dart along with his piece of read on the unlucky animal. The animal, first perturbed turns on himself and then charges at George. Reacting fast, he manages to jump in-extremis on a branch. Pursuing, the boar runs to a dead end. Passing through some high herbs, the boar just made a shortcut to the highest point of the island for George. The branch not being as strong as he thought, he finds himself on his bottom. Going past where the boar was, he finds himself in front a huge needle rock in the middle of a clearing. But... This rock just not seems like a natural formation. Being sure that he had found a piece of a gigantic puzzle Ketch had left behind him, George wants to put the reflector of Bronson at the top of it. Using the creepers that were all around the rock, Rio's fishing net and the marker, he manages to throw and place the theodolite reflector near the top of the big rock. Going back to where the boar was, George continues his way through the newly created path. At the top of what was like a big camel hump, George had a wonderful view of the island. Putting the theodolite at the top of it, he takes a look in it in order to find maybe the hidden treasure spot. George first spots a cave but it was half underwater. Then a needle rock but that wasn't it too. Hell, Ketch could had put his damn treasure about anywhere. "Hey, what's this?" George notices the reflector he had put on the needle rock. Perfectly aligned with it was the treasure rock. George had just solved Ketch's puzzle. He could now go and get this stone as he sees a path leading to the rock he had seen. Back in London, Nico had traced the "Xibalba" ship to a dock. On the ship was Pablo and a guard both armed (*NOTE:I strongly suggest you save your game here!*). Moving closely, Nico manages to sneak behind a box even closer to the ship without being spot. She then tries to open a door on the ship to attract the guard's attention. Not being quick enough, the guard deadly shoots at Nico. - NICO IS DEAD, End of game – (*This is the only point of the game where one of the heroes could die – Maybe in Marseilles too with Pablo although I would not say...- well, now you have to load back your game as you've probably guessed that this is no more than a JOKE. So, when Nico resurrects, oups, not really...*) So behind her wooden crate, Nico chases the opportunity that would let her take the stone. She then notices that the guard was doing two laps of the ship and then talked a little bit with Pablo before doing his 3rd one. This was the right time to act. Rushing out of her hideout when the guard is talking to Pablo, she opens the door and climbs the ladder in order to hide again. Doing his lap, the guard notices the open door, "that is weird, he thinks, lets check it out." Stupidly getting into the little room, Nico traps him inside by first pushing the door and the locking him with the broom next to it. She could now take a clear look inside the ship by the porthole. Inside the ship's cabin were Oubier and Karzac. Oubier seemed agitated about the steal he had just committed and was asking Karzac to help him get out of the country. But Karzac first wanted to see the stone, the Jaguar stone. Showing him the stone, Karzac finally reveals his plans. He was going to throw the stone even though it was unique in the deepest ocean he could find. Why do that for a stone, asks the professor. But it was because of Tescatlipoca, he had seen this god into his dreams and had talked about the future. Aging for power, Karzac would do just about anything in order to help this evil God. Even kill people. Oubier was now getting really scared. - She called out your name you know? Says Karzac Karzac was the one that killed Oubier's wife not the professor. After this it was easy to manipulate this "puppet" soon being a drug addict. Without any sign of humanness, Karzac shots two bullets at the professor and goes out to speak to Pablo. Nico profits of this opportunity to sneak into the cabin. After checking that he was really dead, she takes the jaguar stone out of the professor's hand. -- ARGG --, what's that? Karzac was back and strangling the woman from behind. Reacting fast, Nico takes the sacrifice dagger and plants it in Karzac's leg. She then rushes out of the cabin, jumps out of the boat and disappears in the night. Back to George that finds himself in front of a pirate scene. He was going to run out of there when he hears, - Cut! This was just a film set for some kind of big-production-Hollywood- style-film and he just destroyed one key scene of the film that surely was worth millions. Apologizing, he engages a conversation with the director, Carlton Hawks. Talking him about the island name, he just gives an idea for his film. ZOMBIE actors, well that sounds great, for him... George manages to learn that the film was "The Treasure Island", well, kinda retouched by Hollywood that was. The lead actors were Sharon Kowalski and Haiku McEwan, the hottest teen actor. Harris, the cameraman, having nothing more to say, George goes to talk to Bert Savage, the stunt man. Well, he seemed to have turned in lots of movies but not any had brought him glory. He was now going to do a stunt for Haiku. George tries to engage an intelligent conversation with the lead actress but she just seemed not understand the "Life is not a movie" concept so he just let her alone and tries to see Haiku(*A parody of Keanu Reeves*). Well he just doesn't seem more intelligent that the actress so George just lets the next scene take place. In this scene, the girl, Pirate Barbs was trying to convince the good guy, Jimbo Hawkins not to jump past the wall. Not really a scene that was worth an Oscar really. It was then Bert's turn to take place and get ready for the stunt. George notices a table with lots of things on it, he takes a bun that was state like a small rock, a delicious pancake that he does not eat (*he NEVER eats, don't ask me why, he just drinks, Tequilla...*) and a maple syrup. He then notices a buzzing hush just next to the actors. Looking closely into the bush, he finds out that hornets where somewhere inside. He has an idea. He uses the syrup on the pancake and gives it to Bert that was found of that. Eating it, Bert throws a lot of the syrup on his costume. Acting fast, George manages to throw two small rock-buns into the bush. The hornets, not pleased and smelling the maple syrup rush on Bert that do an Olympic jump over the wall, hurting his back by the same time. The director having a superb stunt, asks to do the next scene, the beach one when Jimbo finds the treasure. Well, the treasure cave was not that impressive and the camera sunk into the wet sand. What's more, the director would not let George go to the rock he had seen from the camel's hump. George noticing a small cave near the top of the rock, was whiling to get there by any mean. Seeing a portable camera, and talking of it at the cameraman, he finds out that it would be a great idea to film the scene with it. He then talks to the Director in order to do the stunt himself using the portable camera. Excited by this idea, the director asks George to dress up(*5 seconds and he is ready??? Weird...*). When George reaches the top of the rock, he finds a treasure chest inside the mouth cave. Inside, among other useless papers was the Eagle Stone. /~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ | - The Caribbean (Pyramid) | \~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~/ Arriving back to Quaramonte, George had already left for the shaman village but had left a message to conchita Garcia to tell Nico to find him there. Nico hurries in order to reach George. Reaching the village, Nico finds a desolation scene. The village was all burn out and there was no sign of life. When she gets to the center of the village she finds George's sunglasses, Titipoco appears pointing a pistol at her. - Wait, don't shoot, says the woman. Titipoco was not going to kill Nico, by shooting, just a flame came out of the pistol. Hey, it was a cigarette lighter. Asking the dwarf about the sunglasses he shows that he has the Eagle stone. George should had found it in the Caribbean's and hide it here before he was abducted. Titi constantly shows a destructed house during the conversation, Nico soon finds the coyote stone but too hot to take with the bare hands, she asks Titi to help her push a water barrel on it. Taking the stone, Titi spots a path to Nico... They soon see a huge pyramid and George tied up, walking up the stairs with Pablo and Raoul. They was no time to waste. Reaching the base of the pyramid, they notice three or four guards in front, not letting even a cat pass. Nico had to find another way to reach the top. Two machines were disposed next to the pyramid's side, one seemed like a power generator, the other like an elevator machine but it had no petrol to work. Cutting the alimentation pipe of the first machine with her dagger, she manages to make petrol fall over the ground. Quickly, she takes a cup by the side of the same machine and uses it on the pipe in order to take some. She then puts the petrol he just took on the alimentation pipe of the elevator machine. She then takes the rope and asks Titi if he could put this up the metal cage in order to make the elevator work. Using the red button, the machine splattered to life. The lever next to the machine had now to be pushed while she was on the elevator, so she just asks Titipoco to do it. She soon reaches the top. At the top, Raoul seems nervous about the fact that the others (*Karzac and La Presidente*) where not here yet. Hell, they were going to sacrifice George to Tescatlipoca! Hopefully, George was the only one to see Nico. Reassured, she takes the round of ammunition that was on one crate and goes back down. Back down, things haven't changed so Nico just tries to pass by the guards. Spotting her, they ask her what she was doing here. In a *feminine* intuition, she tells that Karzac was the one that asked her to come here. Karzac being the mastermind around, they just let her go around. Nico, spots a torch near the stairs. She takes it and asks Titipoco to light it for her. She then throws it on the petrol that had fell all over the ground and then throws the round of ammunition on the fire. – BANG, BANG, BANG --, Nico managed not only to get the guards away from the stairs but also to attract Pablo's attention. - If he moves shoot him in the HEAD not in the heart, says Pablo. - Why, he'll be dead either way right? Asks Raoul. - His Heart belongs to Tescatlipoca. Answers Pablo. - That's not true! Interrupts George, we just had a dinner a couple of time... (*When he is about to die, George always finds a funny word to say*) As Pablo was getting down, Nico sneaks by the rear entrance to the top of the pyramid (*The elevator of course*). At the top, Nico sneaks behind Raoul and pretends having a gun with her... Finger! Raoul, scared, drops his gun. They then have a serious conversation about his role on this story and his *future* in it. He asks to think. While Titipoco is watching after Raoul with his cigarette- lighter-gun, Nico unties his boyfriend. Then they rush all three inside the Pyramid. Hell, it was a dead end. How will they get out of here now? Giving the Coyote stone to George, Nico spots two levers at the far end wall. Thinking they had to be pushed together, she asks George to help her. All three fall down a big gap. Nico fell into what seemed like another tunnel and was now in a big room with two *huge* wheels and some tiles. She was in front of the glyph puzzle she had to solve in order to get out of the room. Here was how she could solve that puzzle that uses all the patience of a person (*YOU GAMER!*). The two wheels had each 8 symbols. 2 symbols put together would made one tile be pushed in, that if the two symbols on the wheel combined made the tile's symbol. In the far right side of the room were 4 Big tiles, one big tile was the combination of two small tiles. Nico can push only two little tiles at once, if she pushes a third one, the first tile she pushed will depress. The big tiles, if pressed will not depress any more. So it was simple: She had to turn the wheel in order to push two tiles that made ONE big tile. (*Are you still with me or not?*). When she have push all 4 big tiles, she... Eventually manages to solve the puzzle and unlock a secret path. George - So I think "This is true love" you know? Titi - Gradrsh George – And then I leave for a few months and who I find with Nico? Titi - Yuvsh George – That's right! Lobineau that creep. Titi - Graaysh George – That's exactly what I thought! Well it seems like another dead end to me! George and Titi had Fell together somewhere and where searching their way out. The dead end being really dark, George asks Titi if he could light up the torch by using sticks or stones. Titi uses the old-traditional-method, the cigarette lighter one. George manages to spot a lever! Pushing it, he throws him and Titi in different locations. Meanwhile, at the top of the pyramid, the eclipse has started (*You just have to look at this scene, while the protagonist are talking day is changing to night, scary...*). Not pleased not having a sacrifice in order to appease Tescatlipoca, La Presidente decides to sacrifice her own son. "Nico had right after all" thinks Raoul. But he was not going to be sacrificed without resistance, "Let's see who sacrifices who, Pablo...". George finds himself in a big room. Taking his torch, he lights the torch that was on the wall and pushes the lever at the far end wall. Inside the new room, he finds two levers, one activating the door he just came from, the other opening a new door. He pushes the second that was the right one and continue past the new door. He was now in a corridor with yet two new levers. By pushing the one next to him he opens a new door. Hey, he was back in the first room but this time a secret passage was revealed. Taking the torch, he walks down the set of stairs. Finding a lever next to him, he reveals yet another set of stairs. Well, that was it, he was going in the "Almost certain death" room. /~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ | - The conclusion of Broken Sword, The smoking mirror | \~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~/ Titipoco, George and Nicole come into the central chamber of the pyramid at the same time. A priest is already in front of the mirror cutting his flesh just enough so blood could appear. Fed with the blood, on the mirror starts to appear a gray smoke. The three heroes had to put the stones quickly into the socket that was in front of them. Nico is the first to put the Jaguar Stone into the slot in front of her. George's slot had rocks in front of it preventing anyone to put anything in it. Titipoco was too small to reach his slot. Behind him appears La Presidente that grabs him and tries to strangle him. As the ground shakes because of Tescatlipoca appearing into the mirror, they both fall in the huge gap in the center of the room, but manage to hang on the ledge. Raoul appears then as he had managed to take of Pablo, he has to decide either to help the evil by rescuing his mother or the good, by helping Titipoco. His choice was made quickly as he rescues Titi and her mother falls in the no- end-hole. Now comes a big earthquake as Tescatlipoca gets out of the mirror killing the priest and everybody around the pyramid with his evil power! Coward now, Raoul falls on the ground, permitting Titi to put his stone into the slot, the Eagle Stone. The earthquake destroying the rocks, George is the last one to put his stone, the coyote one. In a superb magical party, the three stones reunite their power into the center of the chambre making a big spherical power ball and then throwing it to Tescatlipoca that cannot resist the power and goes back into the mirror that is now sealed. Our three heroes finally can see the light of the day as they just saved the world. Tescatlipoca trapped, the world could now rest in peace. Oh, and the hero gets the girl at the end of course even though he already had her. -- The End -– Can I add that the credit's music is just Gr8t? Well if you want to look for it, it is; Hapiness is an Inside Job Performed by Bob Sekat (and not Bob Marley). I would also like to say what a great job the London Metropolitan Orchestra has done on this game with all the atmospheric themes. Oh hell, I would just like to thank the work at Revolution and at SONY that all did a great job! Thanks for this superb game, but we are waiting already three years for Broken Sword 3, when will it be out? (*NOTE: You can see the credits, and the demos of both broken swords from the introduction menu. You just gotta see the two demos, they are great even thought they are not demos but movies*) /~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ | V• End of Walkthrough | \~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~/ Finally finished this walkthrough!
