|Hi there and welcome to this walkthrough/faq/guide, or whatever you may
call it ,of |
|Broken Sword: The shadow of the Templars. A.K.A Broken Sowrd: Circle of
Blood or just |
|Broken Sword. I know this is a very old game, but I'm working on a
walkthrough/....... |
|for the second version of this game too. It's called Broken Sword 2: The
smoking mirror |
|It's even cooler, sweeter and you can play Nico too, s*xy.
|
|
|
|There are rumours that Revolution is making a thirth game of the adventures
with George |
|and Nico. I hope so. I think Broken Sword just is the best game in the
world ever. Except |
|from a lot of newer games, and........ Well it isn't the best, but when it
released, |
|it was.
|
|
|
|For all those who didn't know yet, if you click with your right button of
the mouse, you |
|examine things.

Section 1: Paris:
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Café de la chandelle verte (Café the Green Candelar)
----------------------------------------------------
Pick up the newspaper which is lying under the lamp-post. Walk to the road
works. You’ll be
stopped by two police agents. They’ll go with you to the café. The bold man,
Rosso, will ask you
some questions. It doesn’t matter how you respond. After the too long
conversation you’ll get
his card. When you leave the café, talk to Nicole, the young female
photographer. Ask once about
the clown, then once about Plantard (the man with the pair of glasses) and
then again about the
clown. She’ll give you her phone-number. Go to the road works again. Talk to
the roadworker and
give him the newspaper. He’ll leave. Use the box which is standing in the
tent and you’ll find a
t-shaped sewer opening tool. Go back to the café (not in it, but before it).
Then, go to the left
down the alley. Use the t-shaped sewer tool on the sewer lid to open the
sewers. Go down now.
Pick up the red clown’s nose in the middle of the screen and go further down
the sewers. You’ll
see a tissue and a green piece of cloth. Pick up them both. Go up the
ladder. You’ll find a
red-dressed man. It doesn’t matter how you respond his first question. Give
him Rosso’s card for
some co-operation. Let him see the green piece of cloth - he’ll remember
something now. Ask 4
times about the green jacket, so you’ll get a phone-number from someone
named B. Todryk, then
leave. You are now with the road works again. Now, use the box outside the
tent. It’s a ‘phone,
call Nicole. You’ll get her address. Go to the left and you’ll see a map,
click on Rue Jarry,
that’s where Nicole lives.

Rue Jarry
---------
Talk to the female flower-seller. Ask about Nicole once. Then open
the brown door in the middle on the other site of the street. Let Nicole see
the red nose. She’ll
notice a name from a shop in it. Let her also see the green piece of cloth.
You’ll get a picture,
then leave. Now, go to the left, to the map and click on La Risée du Monde.
Talk to the seller.
Let him see the picture, then the tissue then again the picture. You’ll get
the name from the guy
on the picture: Kahn. Go anywhere you like to call Todryk (it doesn’t matter
if you do it in the
police office, with Nicole or the ‘phone at the road works). Ask him about
the picture, until
he’ll say that Kahn sleeps in Hotel Ubu. Go there on your map.

Hôtel Ubu
---------
Go in the hotel. Go left and
try to get the key hanging hat the board. The receptionist will not aloud
you to do it. Now, talk
to the receptionist and ask about the picture. He’s sleeping in the hotel,
you’re coming further.
Go to the right and talk to the English lady. Ask about the key until the
item has left. Now show
the picture. You’ll get another name of Kahn: Moerlin. Ask about him until
the lady distracts
the receptionist. Now, quick, get the key hanging at the board. Go upstairs
and use the key with
the first door at the right. Open the window at the right and climb out of
it. Go into the other
room. You can search here whatever you want, but you’ll bound to find
nothing, so leave to the
door at the left. Kahn is coming. When he has left search his trousers.
You’ll get his card and
a matchbook. Now, go downstairs, doesn’t matter how. Talk to the
receptionist about the safe.
Then show him Kahn’s card. Talk to the English lady again. Show her the card
to. She’ll help you
to get Kahn’s documents (actually Plantard’s). Now go upstairs again. Go in
'your' room. Go
outside, via the window. When you are out, throw the documents down the
alley. Leave the hotel
now. You’ll get searched by Flap & Guido, but they’ll find nothing (if they
did, you’ll be dead
now). Go to the right, in the alley and get the documents.

Rue Jarry
---------
You are with Nicole now. You’ll take
a closer look at the documents. You can watch or skip the movie. Talk about
the documents. Then
about the four items on it. Leave Nicole and go to the museum of Lobineau.

Musée Crune
-----------
Go in the museum. Look at the tripod (the kind of Tower of Eiffel thing).

Rue Jarry
---------
Go to Nicole, so you know a bit of
Peagram. Without asking something, leave. Go to the airport, to Lochmarne.

_____________________
Section 2: Lochmarne:
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Ask the kid, Maguire, three times about Peagram, then three times about the
dig. Go into the pub.
Ask the man with the glasses, Fitzgerald, about the dig once. Now talk to
man at the bar who is
sitting at the bar wearing the light jumper. Ask him about Peagram once,
then twice about the
dig. Ask about Fitzgerald, he won’t answer. Give him a beer to let him talk.
Now ask again about
Fitzgerald. Go talk to Fitzgerald now, ask again about the dig. He’ll deny
working at it. Go
outside and talk to Maguire. Ask about the dig and Fitzgerald. Now you know
you have to be
careful with Fitzgerald. Go in again. Talk to Fitzgerald, first about the
dig, then about the
professor, then about the gem, then about the package twice. And last talk
about Marquet, the
old man. Fitzgerald will run outside and get runned over. Go outside, you’ll
know now what
happened. Now, use the sort of trigger left next to the pub door. Go into
the pub now. Ask the
barman for a beer (if you already have ordered a beer and haven’t finished
it yet, drink it
first). The beer pump and the washer are broken. Show the barman ‘your’
green card. He’ll ask
you to fix it. Talk to Ron, the old man in the corner. Don’t ask about
anything, just leave.
When he leaves a piece of wire on the table. Quickly grab it. When he
doesn’t sneeze, he sees it.
When he does sneeze, you’ll get it. Now you can fix the washer. Change the
old wire of the washer
with the new one. You’ll fix it and have entrance to the cellar. Go down the
cellar. Pull the
lever at the right. Now go outside the pub and open the big trapdoor. Kahn
will appear, but no
fear, nothing will happen. Go down the cellar again, now you have the flash
light and the gem.
Go up. When Doyle, the man with the light jumper lifts his arm to drink,
quick grab the towel.
Go outside. At the upper right you see a path, go there. Talk to the farmer.
First ask about the
car, then a couple of times about Fitzgerald. Till he leaves. Climb up the
haystack. Put the
sewer tool in a hole in the wall. Climb over the wall now. Your way is
blocked by a goat. So
walk to the ladder, then when the goat has checked you, quick run to the
axle. The goat is stuck
now. Go back to the cellar in the pub. Make wet your towel (if you have done
this before you
talked to the farmer, it’ll be dry before you needed it). Go back to the
goat now. Go down the
ladder. Pick up some of the plaster out the sack at the left. Try to pick up
the statue just
before the stone door. Now try it again, so some holes will appear. Throw
some plaster in the
holes, now sprinkle the water from the towel over it (if it’s dry, make it
wet again in the
cellar). After the plaster has dried, pick it up. Put it in the five holes
left next to the stone
door. The door will open. Go in this door. After a short movie you’ll be
back with Nicole.

down. Walk to the
left sort of inscription. Use your sewer tool on it. It’s hollow. Use it
again to make a gap.
Now just use the inscription. It will move a little. Now use the kind of
circle in the boat to
let down the chain. Pick up the chain now and tie it to the inscription. Use
the circle again to
get up the chain and demolish the inscription. Go in the gap that has
appeared. Look through the
hole just above the middle of the screen where you can see a bit light. You

2. MY REVIEW
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
This chapter is dedicated to the game, duh.... and what I think of it. Maybe
you don't like
this, but I think it's a general review.

Graphics 97/100
The graphics are the most important aspects of the game. It is the first
things you see. The
game starts of with some pictures played very quickly beyond eachother. We
call it a movie.
Here you can see it is a very good drawn game. Of course, now, five years
later, there can
be produced better graphics. But then it was great! There are 11 sections,
which are on 2
discs, because the game was so great (in two ways), that the graphics didn't
fit on 1 disc.
This was very unique then, it's one of the first game on 2 discs, now it
isn't even natural.
You can see this is a very original game, because of the realistic graphics
and people.
If you look good you can see depth in the game. The foreground as well as
the background
are good drawn. With the most of adventure games from the beginning
nineties, there are
unrealistic people and objects. Not here. Sometimes there are movies, which
are actually
graphics, but then fast played. There are also very good, a bit cartoony
sometimes also.
That's why it hasn't got the fully 100 points, but 97 is a very high rate.

Sound 45/100
The sound is the baddest part in the game, but when you turn on your radio
with some cool
music you like. Exciting music is the best. It'll replace the sounds of the
game.
Music isn't there much, but it's kinda good. But have you ever heard them
talk? No.
Only some important sounds they let you hear. In Broken Sword 2: The Smoking
Mirror, this part
is improved a bit, but still I think in part 3 of the BS series, this is the
part that has
to be improved the most. Maybe 45 points is a bit to low, for such a very
good game, but
sounds were not the most important part of a game back 5 years. Now that has
changed a lot.
So, BS 3 will be better. If it comes...

Gameplay 88/100
The gameplay of Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars is very, very good
and the most
important part of the game. It tells you how easy (or hard) it is to play a
game, and if
it is fun to play. Well, both things are there. When you start the game, you
don't even
have to read the manual it comes naturally, except from the ones who touches
the pc
for the first time. In the upper bar, you can see your items to try them on
other objects.
If you talk you can see in the bottom bar the items to talk about. If you
click with your
right mouse button, you can examine things (objects) better then with the
left one.
Also, the gameplay is very clear, when you can do something with an object
or person, the
cursor changes to a gear, mouth or hand. That's why the score here is 88.

Originality 67/100
Of course, this game isn't very original, there were so much other adventure
games made before.
Like Indiana Jones, The Dig, Leisure Suit Larry 1,2,3,5,6,7 and lots of
other games.
But the style, story and graphics made this game so good. That's why the
originality not only
30 points has got, but still 67. Further more there is nothing to tell about
the originality
I think, so let's go to the last part...

Lastability 81/100
The game has over 70 places to discover, and there isn't one way to
accomplish the game,
there are much more (5, or so :-). So to play them all, you are busy a
while. In every
place you can see 5 objects/persons average. Sometimes many more. It is also
just fun to
play the game again and again and again and ... That's what I did, so I
could make a faq/
walkthrough for this fantastic game. I don't know if I know al the ways to
accomplish the
game, but I think I know 90 % of it. 81 points is a very high rate for a
game released
in 1995. The most of the games then went like this. Buy (the game is now
very cool), Play
(the game is losing its tite to you), Accomplish (a bit cooler), and then
the worst...
Stay in some kind of drawer to stay there for 3 years and then its gonna to
be sold at
some kind of market for $2 or Dfl.5. Broken Sword isn't that kind of game. I
bought it five
years ago and still I like it to play.

Overall Rate 82/100
This rate is very high especially for such a game as old as Broken Sword,
but I've talked
enough about the oldness (yes...) of the game. There are games that score
much higher,
Deus Ex, Rogue Spear, Unreal II and lots of others, but there are many more
that score
lower, like... (no it wouldn't be fair to them). So Broken Sword: The Shadow
of the Templars
is a very good game. Try to buy a copy somewhere, but I don't think they are
still making
this game, but maybe you can find it somewhere. There are rumours, I don't
know if they are
true, that Broken Sword 1 & 2 are on Twilights (this are illegal cd-rom's
that are made
in Poland and are distributed in Europe, with many games on it, because they
games are
zipped very small). So you can try to find it there to... but I do not
recommend this.

4. Bugs!
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
I haven't seen one yet, maybe you guys can report some to me, either BS1 or
BS2, it
doesn't matter which one. Maybe the Broken Sword games ARE really good and
just have
no Bugs in them :-D

5. Rumours
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
late 2000
There are some reports, or rumours, that there's going to be a 3rd game of
Broken Sword,
I hope so, but it is said to be began designed in the late 2000's, and can
be released
around christmas 2001 or the early 2002's. It is also said that it's only
going to be on
the PSX2, lucky for the players and fans with one, but I'm not planning to
buy one, so...
Very sadly this for the PC fans, it's time to buy some emulator or download
one, or something
like that, I'll keep you informed.

early 2001 (2.55)
Well, as I said, there was going to be a Broken Sword III, and now there has
finally been made
a start with this game, it's called Broken Sword The Sleeping Dragon and
it's not only going
to be on the PS2, also on the PC (yes!, most of the gamers still are pc
ones) and XBOX.
The release date is going to be 2002 (well, 365 days...). There isn't any
more info on the
main site (www.revolution.co.uk), only a logo of the game. Keep in touch!
The official site is www.brokensword3.com, but don't expect to see more than
the logo :D

early 2001 (2.56)
More info on BS3, taken directly from the Netherlands and Belgium's best
gaming magazine:
Power Unlimited...
"Good news for all the Broken Sword fans who have a PS2 in their homes.
Revolution Software
admitted they are working on a third part of Broken Sword (when it's on
their site, duh!)
with the title The Slepping Dragon (knew that either, now it comes). The
game has to be
released somewhere in 2002. Revolution says that the game has got to have
better looks
when it is about next-gen games. A tough saying. The game will be fully 3D
(in contrast
with BS1 and BS2) and will have the same game control as Cold Blood. That
means no point
and click game. The two main characters (George and Nicole!) will perform
again (woohoo!)"
