Ankh Hints

Get the "Sultan's Grail" for Dinar.

  • 1 of 8: You'll do this task as part of the "Find the backdoor to the palace" task.
  • 2 of 8: Dinar gave you a badge, so go show it to the guard who's standing around outside the nearby Arabian embassy building.
  • 3 of 8: Then you can enter the embassy through the door that's next to the guard.
  • 4 of 8: The grail is the big yellow-and-green thing that's on the floor just a bit to the right of you.
  • 5 of 8: Unfortunately, it's inhabited by a snake who won't let you take it. You'll have to "Outsmart the snake".
  • 6 of 8: After the snake is outsmarted, you can take the grail and leave the embassy.
  • 7 of 8: NOTE: Click on the stairs that you can see the top of near the bottom left part of the screen to leave the embassy.
  • 8 of 8: Return to one of Dinar's shops and click the grail on him to hand it over.
