This walkthrough is designed to be the most simplified route to complete the trophies for Broken Sword. If you want to experience the game to its fullest, I would recommend detouring from this guide and just using it as a reference in case you get stuck. Refer to Moosh's Trophy Guide and Road Map for more detailed explanations and images pertaining to specific trophies.

 

Areas that are referred to as 'Hotspots' can be placed into 4 categories:

1. View (The eye symbol),

2. Interact (Cogs symbol),

3. Investigate (Magnifying glass symbol, this option usually zooms you into a new screen for a closer look) and finally

4. Pick up (A hand symbol; not to be confused with the Exit symbol for changing screens).

 

For ease of reading the walkthrough is organised as follows:

  • 'Quotation marks' denote an item that can be collected into your inventory for future use. Clicking an item in your inventory will tell you a bit about it and its possible uses.
     
  • CAPITAL LETTERS are objects or people other than inventory items that can be interacted with; either by clicking them or dragging an item to use with them.
     
  • Writing in [square brackets] indicates the specific dialogue choices after initiating conversation with a certain character.
     
  • Writing in (round brackets) is simply for any additional information which might be useful.

I'm not getting any option to click on the cafe window on the PS4 version....am I missing something? :(

 

You need to walk George/Nico to right in front of the Joey window, then keep clicking around on it until it speaks (your controller will vibrate from time to time when you're doing this). It's a bit temperamental on the PS4 version, but it'll work eventually :)

Great walkthrough for the first half! I would add in at least a note about picking up the flowers in the PS4 version.

 

Also you may want to add at the end that you also need to look at the empty picture frame by Hobbs otherwise the story won't continue.

I've noticed some errors/omissions that need rectifying :):

 

1: Joey Easter Egg:-

 

- In the PS4 version this is just called "Joey", is a (S) and not secret.

- It should be mentioned that you won't get a "Use" indicator when looking for the Easter Egg trigger.

 

 

2: Hidden Goat:-

 

Ditto the above.

 

 

3: The Diamond Geezer trophy isn't glitched in the PS4 version but is in the Vita release so that needs specifying.

 

 

4: There is no tutorial in the PS4 version of the game and it has a (P).

 

 

5: You must pickup the flowers when in Fleur's Flower Shop, else you'll be locked out of the Super-Charged Potpourri trophy in Episode 2 and have to start a new game.
