Here's what one of the walkthroughs says:

Quote
Upper Floor

Use the small crate. Use the large crate to the right to block the photo electric cell of the elevator. Use the switch by the elevator. You'll turn on the lights. Examine the scratch marks. A secret door. Use the door. There is a secret room. Go inside and you'll find Nico tied inside.

Pick up the fetish. Talk to Nico. Use the rope to untie her. Talk to Nico. When she asks you if you remember inspector Moue answer yes. Pick up the tape from the floor before you exit the room. Use the tape on the photoelectric cell to block it. Use the crate that blocked the door. Use the small crate to move it. Use the large crate on the left. Use the rope on the statue. Use the pallet carrier to lift the statue cause the rope is too short. Use the rope that's around the statue's neck on the pulley. Try to push the statue. It's too heavy. Ask Nico to help you. Once you are outside use the handcuffs on the cable to slide down.


Another walkthrough says this about the handcuffs/manacles; this is after you have entered the warehouse:

Quote
Inside the drawer of the desk you'll find a small brass key. The little Indian won't let you pass. When you talk to him about the brass key he crawls over and you notice that he's been manacled. Unlock the manacles with the brass key to set him free. Press the button on the wall next to the elevator and go up to the top floor. Note that you now have the manacles/handcuffs in your inventory.

thanks for getting back to me . i don't remember nico saying any thing about inspector moue , i did not say yes - is that a big thing ? will i have to go back to that part and say yes ? and the part where i get the key . i showed titipoco the key and he was released and he disappeared ,that is when i used the elevator to the upper floor. nico was tied up , that is when she ask about inspector moue and i need to answer yes.right ? so where do i need to go back and start from there ?

I am not sure exactly how far you need to go back, but I would reload a prior save before the warehouse and see if you can't do that section over, following the walkthrough. Good luck.

Yes, just start over from the warehouse and follow along with the walkthrough. Good luck.

broken sword:the smoking mirror - 07/30/20 01:49 AM

just left the indian village with the stone heading to pyramid that is where i need to save game - how do i do that ? that is where the guards are blocking the way to the top . please send help soon . ok.

Re: broken sword:the smoking mirror - 07/30/20 02:53 AM

The walkthrough says the following:

Pyramid

Outside Pyramid

Some guards are blocking the way to the top of the pyramid. Talk to the Capitan and tell him that you came to see the General. You will not be allowed to go up, but he won't bother you while you think of another way to go up.

Pick up the rope and give it to Titipoco. After he gets down, put the rope in the engine. Now you need some fuel. Cut the fuel line of the generator by using your dagger. Get the cylinder near the fuel line and use it to get some fuel. Put the cylinder in in the fuel cup of the engine. Now the elevator is ready to work. Push the button and pull the lever to bring the elevator down. Ask Titipoco to help you. Get inside the elevator and talk to him.

Once you reach the top of the pyramid you see George tied on a sacrificial slab. You need a diversion. Get the ammunition belt which is near the boxes, and go down. Pick up the torch and ask Titipoco to light it. Then throw it to the fuel and "add" the ammunition belt. Perfect. Go up and talk to the General. He thinks you carry a gun and throws away his. Talk to George and free him using the dagger. Use both levers. You can't move them. Ask George to help you.

at indian village how do i get to the pyramid ? i got the stone . i need to save at that point ,

Re: broken sword:the smoking mirror - 07/30/20 02:31 PM

The walkthrough says this:

Quote
Indian Village

Talk to Titipoco. George gave the stone to him. The other stone is near the barrel. Try to pick it up. It's very hot. You need to cool it down. You try to push the barrel but it's too heavy. Ask Titipoco to help you. Pick up the stone and head for the Pyramid.


Have you tried moving your mouse cursor around, looking for all available exits? If you still can't figure out which way to go, I would suggest watching a video walkthrough because I don't have an answer to your question.

Re: broken sword:the smoking mirror - 07/30/20 04:20 PM

I took a look at three more walkthroughs and one of them said that you exit to the left. luck

If this doesn't work for you, you probably missed doing something leading up to this. Take a look at the walkthrough and see what that might be. If all else fails, you can look at a video on YouTube.

Re: broken sword:the smoking mirror - 08/12/20 12:56 AM

at the wheel room , 3 out of 4 clicked open . the last part is to get the last o one one -what do i need to do with the other tiles to get it open ?
Posted By: Marian

Re: broken sword:the smoking mirror - 08/12/20 01:02 AM

Here is what a walkthrough says about this part:

Quote
In this Pyramid area you have two screens. The one has two circles on the wall. The second one has two sets of tiles. The first time you enter this room the wheels are turned in such a way that if you press tile no 2 it should be pushed in. If you messed with the wheels before doing so don't worry. What you have to do is to manage and push in all tiles A-D. Each one of these tiles is consisted of 2 different tiles from 1-10.

The right tiles that compose the tile (e.g. A) must be pressed in. To press a tile from 1-10 in you must turn the wheel in such a way that the two pictures at the sides of the X mark in image 8 should compose the tile you want to activate. The right combinations for tiles A-D are:

A = 2+5
B = 3+10
C = 1+8
D = 6+9

When all the tiles A-D are pushed in a secret door will open. Enter the door.


The above is from the walkthrough here, which also has a couple of pictures from this part of the game.

Re: broken sword:the smoking mirror - 08/12/20 05:52 PM

thanks, it looks like i did things out of order, do i just go back in the game and just click on all the tiles from 1-10 , will that work ? hope so. i can't think of another way to do this . and hope i can get the last one pushed in. and i can see the secret door and enter it.

Re: broken sword:the smoking mirror - 08/12/20 06:52 PM

Yes, try going back into the game and using the above instructions.

Re: broken sword:the smoking mirror - 08/16/20 05:26 PM

Re: broken sword:the smoking mirror - 08/17/20 10:18 PM

just a new thought - how do i start at the start of the pyramid area for the first time ?
Posted By: Marian

Re: broken sword:the smoking mirror - 08/17/20 10:57 PM

You would need to look through your saved games (hopefully you have several) and restore the game to an earlier save point that is before or at the start of the pyramid area.

Re: broken sword:the smoking mirror - 08/18/20 03:06 AM

Posted By: Marian

Re: broken sword:the smoking mirror - 08/18/20 03:23 AM

Unless you have missed a step up to that point that is necessary for completing the game, that certainly sounds okay to me.
