The Cameron Files: Pharaoh's Curse Hints
How do I return to the Ankh chamber?
1 of 11: You had directions to get through the mist; you will need to retrace your steps to return.
2 of 11: Remember that "going in the opposite direction" (in terms of compass direction) is a matter of going 180 degrees different from the original compass setting.
3 of 11: For compass settings less than 180 degrees, add 180 to the compass setting to go in the opposite direction.
4 of 11: For compass settings greater than 180 degrees, subtract 180 from the compass setting to go in the opposite direction.
5 of 11: In each case, retain the correct number of steps in each direction to retrace your path correctly.
6 of 11: You originally came through the mist by doing the following: 6 steps at 120 degrees 3 steps at 130 degrees 5 steps at 220 degrees 2 steps at 270 degrees
7 of 11: To retrace your path, step right up to where the mist begins. (Don't forget to put on your goggles.)
8 of 11: Step into the mist, and retrace the above path.
9 of 11: The correct path will be: 2 steps at 90 degrees 5 steps at 40 degrees 3 steps at 310 degrees 6 steps at 300 degrees
10 of 11: You should be out of the mist, heading toward the sarcophagus room.
11 of 11: If you get completely lost, or cannot navigate your way back to the Ankh chamber, you may need to resort to a saved game that was saved prior to entering the mist for the first time.
