The broken pointer is part of the decryption in a level of Sunset Hill. Since there are not many hints during the process, it's very difficult for us to pass when we encounter it. Today, I will share how to deal with the broken pointer in Sunset Hill. The main challenge is "how to put the broken pointer back in place." After the mission is triggered, you need to understand the old dog's time requirement and then adjust to the correct angle to trigger the plot. Below, I'll break down the process step by step, along with picking up some hidden props.

The task starts with a conversation with the old dog, who will complain about being late for delivery. At this point, don't rush to rummage through boxes; first, click on the radio and find that the pointer is broken. The system prompts "need repair tools," and the old dog previously mentioned needing to deliver before 5 PM, so the key point: We need to set the clock to ten minutes before 5 PM, which is 4:50. Click on the drawer below the radio to get a damaged watch.

Then, we need to set the clock to 4:50 to trigger the subsequent plot. Later, the old dog will hint at needing to listen to some music, so we need to continuously click on the pocket watch to remove the minute hand. Then, install the minute hand on the broken radio. Afterwards, manually rotate it to the correct position. Here’s an easy pitfall: There are multiple scale lines on the radio, but the actual target is the hidden "3.5" position. When adjusting, long-press the pointer and drag it to the right until the background music plays automatically.

After setting it, press the play button to trigger the old dog's memory plot. Here’s the key! After listening, don’t rush to leave. Click the radio tuning knob three times in a row, and after it plays automatically, the subsequent plot will be unlocked. Upon completing the level, you can obtain the achievement reward "Retro Battery." If the battery doesn’t appear, it might be a bug; try restarting the game.

The core of fixing the broken pointer is two things: setting the pocket watch time and repairing the radio. If you can't align it no matter what, you probably missed a hint in the scene—such as a note on the truck with a sketch of the radio, marking a red circle at the 3.5 position. If you're really stuck, look for a small note under the drawer, which contains many tips for passing the level.
