Ankh Hints
Get the "Sun of Cairo" for the slave driver.
1 of 15: To get this task, enter Cairo's plaza area and talk to the slave master.
2 of 15: Since the Sun of Cairo is a drink, go talk to the wine merchant at his stall. (Take the exit on the left side of the plaza area to get there the fastest.)
3 of 15: Unfortunately, the slave master was right. The Sun of Cairo drink requires bananas to make, and they're illegal now, so the wine merchant doesn't dare keep any in stock.
4 of 15: This brings up the "Find bananas for the cocktail" task, which you'll have to complete before you can make more progress on the drink.
5 of 15: When you give the banana to the wine merchant, he'll ask you if you want a light or a strong drink.
6 of 15: Which do you think the slaver master would prefer?
7 of 15: It actually doesn't matter yet. If you make the wrong choice, you can easily fix it later.
8 of 15: After you choose, he'll say that you need to leave a deposit.
9 of 15: Either give him the empty wine bottle you got in the previous chapter, or give him a silver coin (which you'd have if you returned the wine bottle to him earlier).
10 of 15: Now go try giving the drink to the slave master.
11 of 15: That picky character won't accept the drink without a nice little cocktail umbrella stuck in it.
13 of 15: When you have the umbrella in the drink, go try giving it to the slave master again.
14 of 15: If he says it could use more alcohol, return to the wine merchant and give him the empty glass so he'll fill it with a stronger version of the drink.
15 of 15: After the slave master drinks the strong version, he'll fall over unconscious, indicating extreme satisfaction.
