The Egyptian Prophecy: The Fate of Ramses Hints

How do I find out the guard's name?

  • 1 of 15: Wouldn't it make sense that others working in the same area would know the name of the guard?
  • 2 of 15: Walk out and around the pool, and talk to the basket weaver.
  • 3 of 15: He sure doesn't seem like a very helpful guy, does he?  Maybe would be more talkative if you offered him something.
  • 4 of 15: But what can you offer him?  Nothing in your inventory seems to work.
  • 5 of 15: How about if you offered to return something that belonged to him?
  • 6 of 15: If you don't have anything that belongs to him, you'll have to figure out how to get something.
  • 7 of 15: Did you look in his basket? 
  • 8 of 15: He will try to stop you from taking the contents of the basket.
  • 9 of 15: You'll need to distract his attention.
  • 10 of 15: He might be distracted by a fish...
  • 11 of 15: ...if he thought he heard one jumping in the pool.
  • 12 of 15: Have you ever skipped stones, or just thrown pebbles in the water to see the reaction?
  • 13 of 15: Toss some pebbles into the pond.  The correct spot to toss pebbles is located in the same area as the basket weaver.  Don't leave, just turn slightly to the left of the basket weaver and the stairs into the pool. 
  • 14 of 15: Quickly now, while he is looking at the pool, look in the basket on the ground.
  • 15 of 15: Take the ostracon, then give it back to the basket weaver.  He will tell you the guard's name.
