Ankh Hints

Block the persecutors' path.

  • 1 of 9: Before you can get this task, you have to finish the "Summon Osiris" task and then have Assil talk to Osiris.
  • 2 of 9: After the Pharaoh shows up and orders his guards to chase you, you'll be faced with the task of blocking their path.
  • 3 of 9: Notice that the place is falling apart, with large debris strewn about.
  • 4 of 9: There's nothing you can do to the temple entrance directly, so move on a bit.
  • 5 of 9: Go back through the temple door that you had to open earlier by standing on two pressure plates.
  • 6 of 9: One of those plates is now permanently pressed by rubble, and the other one is broken.
  • 7 of 9: Notice that the broken plate registers as pick-up-able.
  • 8 of 9: So pick it up!
  • 9 of 9: That will close the temple door, blocking any pursuit from that direction.
