Ankh Hints
Where can I get a fish?
1 of 14: There are some fishcakes on the counter of Olga's stand.
2 of 14: Maybe you could steal them if she were distracted by something.
3 of 14: Unfortunately, she knows that the fishcakes are the main thing the cats will go for, so she hastily snatches them off the counter the first time the cats invade. You'll have to look elsewhere for your fish.
4 of 14: Exit the lower market to the Nile area and look around.
5 of 14: Check out the sludgy drainage canal that's emptying into the river.
6 of 14: Near the actual drain is a small and cruddy pool.
7 of 14: In that pool, a stinky blue fish is swimming around.
8 of 14: However, if you right-click on it to take it, you'll find that it's too slippery to pick up with your hands.
9 of 14: You need a fish-catching item.
10 of 14: There are no fancy fishing poles in ancient Egypt (or at least not in *this* ancient Egypt), so look for a simple fish net.
11 of 14: Search around the whole bazaar area.
12 of 14: You'll find what you're after on the road to the Pharaoh's palace.
