How to open the grille in the window, in the courtyard. Cant open it.

This is the room that you go into where some of the floor above has collapsed. You access it by pushing in a peg in the wall that allows you to go outside through a window and then you climb up to the wrecked floor above. You stand under a window that has a grille that is closed. The description says that it doesnt look secure.

I target the level at the top of it with sticks and bottles but when I hit it nothing happens. What am I doing wrong? Id like to know what lies through the window!

Do I need the Strong Arm skill to open it?

Hi maldorf, I just re-installed the game and reloaded an old save game to check on this.

You should be able to drop the grille by throwing a stick at the top of it. When you're aiming at it with a stick in hand, you should see a big white circle showing you that you can interact with that bit of the grille.

That being said, if Milo stands at a bad angle to his target, he actually won't hit it when he throws.

For example, if you've just climed up the ladder and you're trying to throw the stick from this position, Milo won't be able to hit the upper part of the grille, even though the crosshair changes to show that this bit is interactable. Try moving over to the middle of the wooden beam on the other side of the room, then throw from there.

Thanks! I think I was standing in the wrong position then. I get the target to show but when i throw it nothing happens, the stick just hits it.

I will try moving to another spot and throwing it. like you suggested, from the middle of the wooden beam. i figure something must be up there for them to place all of that stuff for us.

If I recall correctly, where you need to throw the stick is at the top part of the grille. You may be aiming at the bottom part. You should see a prompt.
