Broken Sword 2: The Smoking Mirror - Getting Started

To get maximum enjoyment from this game talk to everyone about
everything as there is some pretty cutting humour in there, also
examine everything in your inventory by right clicking the mouse.

At the start you as George are tied to a chair facing a poisonous
spider and a fire. Normal sort of day for a hero. Examine the
bookcase and kick the block of wood which squishes the spider
and reveals a metal bracket on the wall, this will free the ropes
and off we go.

Pick up the dart and Nico's bag, examine the bag to reveal some
"exotic" panties and a note from Andre Lobineau your love rival.

"passion killers", you know pockets in the knickers, now the
modern madames wear their knickers in their pockets. Sigh

Back to the plot, open the desk and get the key and the worm from
the tequila bottle, then use the dart to spring the lock on the
cupboard beside the fire, use the panties to get the hot cylinder
and load the syphon to put out the fire. Leave the room and use
the phone, pick up the newspaper and examine it to see Oubier's
bank statement and then unlock the door...
