The Cameron Files: Pharaoh's Curse Hints
How do I reach the bottom of the pit?
1 of 21: The mummy appears to be at the bottom of the pit. You clearly don't want to end up (literally) like the German Nazi.
2 of 21: This would be another good place to save your game.
3 of 21: You need to find a way down into the pit. Look closely around the rim, and see if there is any way down.
4 of 21: The only thing out of the ordinary is one tiny little platform at the far side of the room, which extends out over the pit.
5 of 21: Can you see anything unusual on the walls of the pit?
6 of 21: It looks as though there might be stairs going down -- but the stairs have retracted into the wall.
7 of 21: Perhaps there is a way to get them back out again, providing a path to the bottom.
8 of 21: Look closely at the platform. There is a symbol on it.
9 of 21: It appears to be another "ankh-activated" mechanism.
10 of 21: You could try placing an ankh key onto the platform.
11 of 21: If done properly, you should hear a series of sounds, and then notice that a number of steps have appeared from out of the wall.
12 of 21: After using the Isis ankh, there are still not enough stairs to reach the bottom.
13 of 21: Look closely at the last step you come to.
14 of 21: It has a location to place another ankh key.
15 of 21: If you select the wrong ankh key, it's "lights out" for Cameron. (For this reason, it is advisable to save the game after each correct key is used.)
16 of 21: Which ankh key do you suppose would be the next one to use?
17 of 21: Use the keys in the same order in which you originally collected them in the Ankh chamber.
18 of 21: The first key used was the Isis ankh.
19 of 21: The second key is the Horus ankh. Once again, more stairs will extend, and the final one will have an ankh symbol.
20 of 21: This third symbol requires the Osiris ankh.
