Ankh Hints
How can I get the Captain Pharaoh doll?
1 of 13: Have you tried reaching for it from the little "island" with the palm trees on it?
2 of 13: How about having Assil try to get it after he crosses over to the garden?
3 of 13: The water level is just too low now. It's too bad you had to lower it to get to the palm tree "island," and that the lever broke when you did.
4 of 13: You'll have to figure out another way to raise the water level.
5 of 13: Looking along the back wall in the water-wheel-and-island area, you should see two large drain pipes.
6 of 13: The one on the right is the only interactive one, so try clicking on it to examine it.
7 of 13: Your character's opinion is that it was installed a bit too high. Maybe that could be useful.
8 of 13: Notice that the water wheel is still going. What if it were stopped somehow?
9 of 13: The water level may rise because of that. So be looking around for a way to clog the water wheel.
10 of 13: You'll need to get an item to toss into the wheel that can tangle it up.
11 of 13: How about a very long cloth banner? That might do the trick.
