Ankh Hints
Once I have it, how can I use it to get Thara across the guard's bridge?
1 of 13: First, get Thara into the tower that she can reach.
2 of 13: Then use Assil and Captain Pharaoh to lure the guard away from the bridge through the other tower.
3 of 13: Of course, you don't want Assil caught by the guard any more than you want Thara caught.
4 of 13: Have Assil enter the other tower, then look around it.
5 of 13: Notice the dark corner that's between the tower's two doorways.
6 of 13: You can click on it to have Assil hide in it.
7 of 13: Do so, then right-click on the Captain Pharaoh doll in inventory to use it.
8 of 13: The guard will move into Assil's tower, and Assil will run down to the garden.
9 of 13: You need to lure the guard farther away from the bridge before Thara crosses, so use Captain Pharaoh again in the garden.
10 of 13: That'll lure the guard out into the corridor past the tower.
11 of 13: Now's the time to switch to Thara and cross the bridge.
12 of 13: Once she's in the other tower, have her hide in the dark corner.
13 of 13: The guard will then return to the bridge without seeing Thara or Assil.
