Ankh Hints
I got Thara across, but how can I open the temple door?
1 of 9: Look around near it for opening mechanisms.
2 of 9: What about those two squares on the floor?
3 of 9: They're called "floor plates" -- might they have something to do with opening the door?
4 of 9: Have one of your characters stand on a floor plate to see what happens.
5 of 9: The door opens halfway!
6 of 9: But then it closes again when you take your character off the plate.
7 of 9: Maybe it wouldn't do that if both plates were stood on at once.
8 of 9: Have Assil stand on one floor plate, then switch control to Thara and have her stand on the other one.
9 of 9: As soon as both floor plates are stood on, the door will fully open and stay open.
