Ankh 2: Heart of Osiris Hints

General Hints

  • First of all, in this adventure you can't die and no matter how stupid you act, you can't do anything that prevents you from finishing the game. So try everything you can think of. Combine every item with every other, and even if some things don't combine at one stage of the game, that doesn't mean they won't combine later. This is also true for some other actions like taking items, handling mechanisms, and so on. If you think a special action is necessary, but can't perform the task, try to alter the situation.

    As you can't do anything wrong, try every conversation line offered to you. Even if the conversation doesn't lead to the end you were hoping, try to talk to your conversation partner again and choose another course.

    Every puzzle except one (which seems to be some kind of copy protection) can be solved from the game itself. That means you don't need external knowledge of ancient mythology, Egyptian culture, astrology, etc. -- just a bit creativity and a lot of humor.

    There are a few very hard puzzles in the game that expect you to find some hard-to-see hot spots. If you hover your cursor over these areas, the command line and/or the cursor will change. So if you are in a situation where you think that you need a special object, not in your possession, try to "scan" the available screens to see if you just missed an interactive area.

    And last of all, this game offers a to-do-list for you, which is activated by the TAB key. This is meant to help you organize your actions. If you are in a situation and don't have the slightest idea what to do -- most times at the beginning of the chapters -- this is a helpful tool.
