Ankh Hints

How can I restore this drunkard to consciousness?

  • 1 of 13: How are unconscious people usually revived?
  • 2 of 13: You have no option to slap him awake or wave smelling salts under his nose, so use the other age-old method.
  • 3 of 13: Throw some cold water on him.
  • 4 of 13: There's lots of water nearby, but how are you going to get it to him?
  • 5 of 13: You'd think the empty wine bottle would work, but it doesn't.
  • 6 of 13: You need a more stereotypical water-carrying instrument.
  • 7 of 13: How 'bout a bucket?
  • 8 of 13: You may or may not have already been to an area where there's an empty bucket that you can take.
  • 9 of 13: If not, then you'll need to do the "Get the 'Sun of Cairo' for the slave driver" task until you get to the area where you can get a banana.
  • 10 of 13: There's a bucket setting near the exit of that same area.
  • 11 of 13: Take it and bring it to the palace garden.
  • 12 of 13: Fill it by using it on the nearby water.
  • 13 of 13: Then use it on Red-Sea-Aquarium to wake the old sot up and get him going.
