Broken Sword Walkthrough

Introduction

2009-04-30T15:53:00.004+12:00

The Broken Sword : Shadow of the Templars DS Walkthrough is an upcoming comprehensive step by step fully illustrated guide

While the walkthrough has been written and some preview pages have been posted, posting of the walkthrough has been suspended while higher priority walkthroughs are being worked on

In the meantime, if you would like a little help with the game, players can use the CuppaJava Live Help

The best time to use CuppaJava Live Help is usually US evenings (early morning or late at night for UK players) ... if you do not get an immediate response, please wait or try again later

For players who have played the GBA version of the game, the DS version adds Nico's side of the story and some puzzles that take advantage of the DS (such as sliding tile puzzles)

Updates

Lochmarne (Pub) section added

Hagenmeyer Clinic (Hospital) section added

St Ninians Church section added

Train section added

Lens puzzle solution added to Montfaucon Church (WIP)

Tips

When talking to characters, keep asking questions until there is no longer anything to ask about (important information or an item is usually not received until the conversation is exhausted)
