Ankh Hints
How can I prevent Assil from catching me and losing progress?
1 of 7: Fortunately, you can run and he can just shamble along slowly.
2 of 7: The only way you can go is left, so quickly run that way until the view changes.
3 of 7: You see those two large pillars?
4 of 7: You're going to need to decoy Assil using one of them so you can run back the other way unhindered.
5 of 7: You can't really get behind the pillar on the right, so use the left one.
6 of 7: Move around to the back of the pillar and wait there.
7 of 7: The game is rigged to drop a large chunk of rubble on Assil in a cut-scene when he approaches that pillar.
