Ankh Hints
What does it mean?
1 of 6: You can click on it to switch between controlling Assil and controlling Thara.
2 of 6: You can also do the same thing by right-clicking on the character you want to switch control to if they're both on-screen at once.
3 of 6: Also notice that each one has his/her own separate inventory items.
4 of 6: You can pass items back and forth by using an item from the currently controlled character's inventory on the other character.
5 of 6: For instance, to give the paintbrush to Assil, make sure both characters are on-screen, then right-click on Thara to get control of her. Right-click on the brush in her inventory, then right-click on Assil to give the brush to him.
6 of 6: Note that some items can't be given away, including the flute and map.
