Ankh Hints
How can I rescue the girl?
1 of 9: You need to get her out of that cell, but there's no way to get her out through that tiny window.
2 of 9: So look around for another way to gain access to her cell.
3 of 9: There's a cellar nearby that you need to enter.
4 of 9: Look for a hard-to-see cellar entrance on Bulbul's screen, just to the right of the clickable jars.
5 of 9: That cellar must be directly underneath the girl's prison cell.
6 of 9: Notice the vertical rotten beam in the middle of the area.
7 of 9: Maybe if the beam were broken, part of the cellar's ceiling (the prison cell's floor) would fall away, allowing for an escape.
8 of 9: However, even after she's out of her cell, she won't leave the cellar in the drab old prison clothes she's wearing. They're just not fashionable enough.
