Ankh Hints
Get past Bulbul the Bouncer.
1 of 13: To get this task, you must first find the backdoor to the Palace. See the "Find the backdoor to the palace" task hints.
2 of 13: Once you're in the backyard area, walk to its other end to get someone to talk to you through a small window.
3 of 13: Find the window in the wall a bit to the left of the import/export stall and right-click on it to talk to the imprisoned ambassador's daughter.
4 of 13: After agreeing to help her, move on past the small window to get to the back of the area, where Bulbul the Bouncer will be waiting to block your way.
5 of 13: He doesn't think you're "groovy" enough to pass because you aren't wearing a gold medallion and don't know some dumb dance that he really likes.
6 of 13: You never can get a medallion or learn the dance, so you'll have to trick him somehow.
7 of 13: You see that trash pit a bit to the left of him?
8 of 13: You need to trick him into falling into it.
9 of 13: To do that, you'll have to play his favorite dance on your flute. That way, he'll go all nuts and fall into the pit.
10 of 13: But you don't know the right tune, and can't play the flute at all anyway, so you're going to need some help.
11 of 13: Specifically, you're going to need to rescue the Arabian ambassador's daughter from her nearby prison cell.
13 of 13: She'll play Bulbul's favorite tune, and he'll clumsily fall into the trash pit, allowing you and Thara to move on to Chapter Three: Calling Osiris.
