- Use the telephone to call Todryk. Talk about the photograph to learn a new address.
- Enter the map, and choose Hotel Ubu.

- Talk to Liam Maguire (the kid on the street) about everything.
- Enter the pub.
- The best way is to talk to everyone about everything and go clockwise. Not all of that is necessary, but it's a good way to do it. So, first talk to Sean Fitzgerald (the guy with a yellow jacket), then talk to O'Brien (the guy with a blue shirt), then talk to Patrick Doyle (the guy with a light blue shirt; buy him a beer to make him more talkative), then talk to the barkeeper, and finally talk to the monk. Topics to discuss with them are especially Professor Peagram, the castle, the dig, and any new conversation topics that may open.
- Go back outside and talk to Liam Maguire and ask about these topics until you get confirmation that Fitzgerald was lying to you. If you don't get that, you must have missed some conversation in the pub, so talk to Fitzgerald (and others) again, and then return to Liam Maguire.
- Go back in the pub and keep pressuring Fitzgerald until the topic of package comes up. Keep talking until he panics and runs out.
- Exit the pub. Liam Maguire will tell you what happened, and you can ask a few more questions about the incident.

- Study the crack on the wall.
- Use the metal rod on the crack to create a step.
- Climb over the wall.

- Try to get past the goat.
- The goal here is to trick the goat so you can get past it. First, try to walk past it, and the goat will knock you down. Then, as soon as you recover, immediately click the interact option on the rusted piece of iron. If you time this right, the goat's rope will get stuck with iron, allowing you to move freely. This can be a bit of a tricky puzzle, but the easiest way is to click on the ladder leading down, then immediately click on the iron, and George will run to the iron while the goat is going backwards.

- After the goat problem is handled, go down the ladder.

- Study the door-like panel on the wall, and examine five holes next to it.
- Try to lift the five-fingered statue that is under the holes, and it falls down. Lift the statue back up again.
- Examine the impression the statue left on the ground.
- Go to the table, and pick up some powder to get some plaster of Paris.
- Use the plaster of Paris on the impression, and interact with it after it's on the ground.
- It needs some water to work, so go back to the pub.

- Before you enter the pub, check the damaged panel near the door. Interact with it to flip a switch.
- Go inside, and talk to the barkeeper and order a beer. If you have done this already but haven't finished your drink, the beer conversation isn't available. If this happens, pick up your glass and drink it. George will finish a glass of beer in three gulps, so depending on what was done before, you need to drink 1-3 times.
- After you order some beer, there will be a load of electrical problems if you flipped the switch outside. Show the pass card to the barkeeper and pretend to be an electrician.
- Examine the glass washer.
- Some wiring is needed for repairs, so go to the table where the monk sits. While he is sneezing and coughing, pick up the piece of wire that he is working on.
- Use the piece of wire on the glass washer to fix it.

- Go down to the cellar.
- Try to use the lever that is next to the lift.

- Go outside to the street, and lift the trapdoor. Watch a short conversation that follows.
- Go back to the cellar. You will automatically pick up a flashlight and a large blue gemstone.
- Go up to the bar, and take a green towel from the bar when the man next to it is drinking.
- Go back to the cellar and use the rusty faucet to get running water. Use the green towel with the faucet to get a soaked towel. (OT: Broken Sword has very little moon logic, but this is really the worst. George is in a bar with running water and lots of glasses and containers. So in order to get water, he has to steal a towel and soak it in water, and then carry that towel in his pockets. Really?!?)
- Go back to the castle and the closed panel. Hurry up, because if you take too long, the towel will dry up.

- Use the soaked towel on the plaster on the ground.
- Pick up the plaster cast from the ground; it won't appear in the inventory, but you will carry it in your hands.
