Ankh Hints

Find the backdoor to the palace.

  • 1 of 6: This task is added to your list as soon as you finish the "Escape from prison." one.
  • 2 of 6: Who might know where the backdoor to the palace is?
  • 3 of 6: Try talking to shady types.
  • 4 of 6: Talk to Dinar at one of his two shops. (There's one in the plaza, and one in the nearby lower market.)
  • 5 of 6: He'll insist that you do the "Get the 'Sultan's Grail' for Dinar" task before he tells you about the palace's backdoor.
  • 6 of 6: After you give him the grail, he'll reveal an alley between his lower market shop and Olga's fish burger stand that leads to the Palace's backyard.
