Ankh Hints

Get rid of the death curse.

  • 1 of 10: You'll start the chapter with this task on your list.
  • 2 of 10: The graffiti that Osiris made Assil scribble on the wall isn't very helpful. It just amounts to "give me back my ankh or I'll kick your sorry little butt."
  • 3 of 10: So go talk to someone who can help you with this problem.
  • 4 of 10: That Take Tut Cashun guy who camps out near the Nile ferry didn't take your death curse very seriously in Chapter One, but maybe he will now.
  • 5 of 10: Sure 'nuff, as soon as you enter that area, he'll talk to you about a Trial of the Shadows and how you have to help out the Pharaoh in some way.
  • 6 of 10: You've probably already heard that his daughter has been kidnapped, so you'll need to ask around to see if you can find out who did it and where she's being held.
  • 7 of 10: You'll learn that by doing the "Help the genie to get back his lamp" task.
  • 8 of 10: That'll get you the "Tell the Pharaoh where his daughter is" task, so do it next.
  • 9 of 10: Finishing that gets you the "Get into the Sphinx" and "Find the Pharaoh's daughter" tasks. Since the Pharaoh's daughter is in the underworld, and its entrance is inside the Sphinx, you naturally have to do the one about getting into the Sphinx first.
  • 10 of 10: This task will disappear from your to-do list when you enter the Sphinx, though you're obviously not done with it yet. Just play on with the Pharaoh's daughter task from there.
