Ankh Hints

Escape from prison.

  • 1 of 6: You'll start the chapter with this task.
  • 2 of 6: Have you tried the prison door yet?
  • 3 of 6: It's locked, of course.
  • 4 of 6: You'll need something to pick the lock with.
  • 5 of 6: However, you're not quite escaped yet, as you'll discover when you encounter a crocodile after leaving your cell.
  • 6 of 6: Once the croc's out of the way, you can move on to an exit that takes you back to the street near the palace.
