Broken Sword - Complete Solution Act 1: Paris First of all, pick up the newspaper and walk to the road works. After Rosso’s interview in the cafe, talk to Nico, the photographer. Ask Nico about the clown and also about Plantard (the clown’s victim), until you are told all that she knows and she gives you her phone number. Then walk to the road works and give the newspaper to the workman. Get the tool from the toolbox inside the tent. Walk to the alley on the right hand side of the cafe square. Use the tool on the manhole cover. Get the clown’s nose from the first sewer. Get the tissue and the scrap of material from the second sewer. Climb the ladder to the courtyard above. Show Rosso’s card to the concierge, then show the material to the concierge. Ask the concierge about the jacket, then say goodbye to him and return to the road works. You should then telephone Nico to obtain her address. Exit the road works to the right, to the Paris map. Go to Rue Jarry. Talk to the flower seller to pinpoint Nico’s address. Try the door - you’ll find it’s stuck. So ask the flower seller about Nico again. Then go to Nico’s apartment. Show the material to Nico and take the photograph. Show her the nose. Go to the Risee du Monde and show the photograph to the costumier. Ask him about the clown. Leave the costumier (taking the buzzer with you).

Once the assassin has been and gone, search the trousers he left on the bed in order to get the ID card and match-book. Leave the room through the door.

Go back to the first room, stand on the ledge and drop the manuscript to the ground. Leave the hotel (to be searched by Flap and Guido). Go to the alley behind the hotel and collect the manuscript. Talk to Nico about the manuscript. Exit to the map and go to the Museum. Examine the tripod in the centre of the room. Leave the museum, go to the map and then to the Airport. (Note: You could go back to Nico’s apartment first and tell her you’re going to Ireland - this way you’ll hear about Peagram before you go). Go to Ireland. Act 2: Ireland If you’ve come here without talking to Nico, you’ll need to talk to O’Brien to find out about Peagram - O’Brien should be sitting at the far end of the bar. Then go and talk to Maguire about Peagram and the dig. Go to MacDevitts. Talk to Ron the poacher, then say `goodbye’. Wait until Ron leaves a snare on the table, then take the snare when he sneezes - you’ll need to be quick. Ask Sean Fitzgerald about the dig. Ask Doyle about Peagram, the dig and Fitzgerald, and then if he wants a beer you have to ask him about Fitzgerald again. While Doyle is drinking, take the towel from under his elbow. Ask Fitzgerald about the dig. Go outside and ask Maguire about Fitzgerald again. Go back inside and ask Fitzgerald about the dig, Peagram and the gem. Ask him about the package. When FItzgerald has left and Maguire has burst in, go back inside. Turn off the beer pumps by throwing the exposed switch beside the pub door. Go back into the bar and ask Mick Leary for a drink.
