Ankh Hints

Get into the Sphinx.

  • 1 of 8: This task is added to your list right after you finish "Tell the Pharaoh where his daughter is."
  • 2 of 8: Travel to the desert and go back to the Sphinx.
  • 3 of 8: Look around for some sort of locking mechanism.
  • 4 of 8: Remember that it'll need to match the "key."
  • 5 of 8: The key is an amputated hand, so look for a hand-shaped lock.
  • 6 of 8: You'll find one on the inside of the Sphinx's right paw (a ways to the left of the souvenir stand).
  • 7 of 8: Use the hand of the locksmith with the handprint mechanism to open up a doorway at the end of the paw.
  • 8 of 8: Go through the doorway to get into the Sphinx.
