Ankh Hints

Summon Osiris.

  • 1 of 11: Before you can get this task, you have to do the "Get Thara past the guard" task and then enter Osiris' temple.
  • 2 of 11: After the door is open, have either character go through it and then into the temple.
  • 3 of 11: Once you're in, check out the big murals on the wall to the right of the door.
  • 4 of 11: Click on each of the five murals for a description. They're your clues as to how to carry out the summoning ritual.
  • 5 of 11: To get started, use the first (leftmost) mural's clue.
  • 6 of 11: It shows two guys with burning torches.
  • 7 of 11: Send one character down to the main floor to look around for something equivalent.
  • 8 of 11: Near the bottom of each set of stairs is a square object with an interactive "joss stick" in it.
  • 9 of 11: Use either of the joss sticks to start the "Combine flames and gongs" task.
  • 10 of 11: Once you finish it, you'll have to do the "Play musical instruments at the stone pedestals" task.
  • 11 of 11: After that's done, Osiris will be summoned and standing around waiting for someone to talk to him.
