Ankh Hints

Wash the camel.

  • 1 of 16: To get this added to your to-do list, you'll have to find the guys in Giza who need their camels washed.
  • 2 of 16: First, do the "Find a way to speak to the Pharaoh" task until you get to the desert and figure out a way to navigate it and get places.
  • 3 of 16: When you reach Giza, you'll find three guys and two camels standing around near a Camel-O-Wash place.
  • 4 of 16: Talk to one of the guys to get the assignment of washing the camels.
  • 5 of 16: Check out the Camel-O-Wash to find that there are two interactive items there.
  • 6 of 16: There's the empty bowl on the floor in the doorway, and the mechanism over to the right of it.
  • 7 of 16: To lure a camel into the camel wash area, use the camel food that the guys gave you on the bowl.
  • 8 of 16: Now use the mechanism to start the washing process.
  • 9 of 16: After you find a replacement handle for it, that is.
  • 10 of 16: Check your inventory. Do you have anything that could be used as a handle?
  • 11 of 16: If not, you haven't thoroughly looted the nearby desert areas yet.
  • 12 of 16: Use the desert exit that's a bit to the right of the Camel-O-Wash.
  • 13 of 16: In that area, check out the tree.
  • 14 of 16: It has strange looking branch sticking out on its right side that looks kind of like a crank handle.
  • 15 of 16: Take that and go use it with the mechanism.
  • 16 of 16: Once the handle is in place, right-click on the "use mechanism" hotspot to get the camel washed, and collect your wine bottle reward. (Thankfully, you don't have to wash the other camel.)
