Mummy: Tomb of the Pharaoh Hints

Some General Notes

  • This game mainly consists of two parts.  The first part covering the actions to undertake at the mining camp site isn't linear at all.  You can do things in any order -- the main goal here is to collect items -- but you should keep in mind that returning to these spots is not at all that evident once you enter the tomb area in the mines.  Therefore, make sure that you've explored the above ground area very thoroughly before excavating the mines.  This will make some awkward backtracking unnecessary.

    To find your way at the camp side, you'll have to rely on the maps that are provided in the game documentation.  I won't give any navigational directions.

    The second part -- the mines and tomb part -- is very linear.  You just have to do things in a certain order to trigger events and to be able to finish the game.  If you however forget to do something you nearly almost are able -- one way or another -- to return to the spot where you can do or pick up what you forgot.  Despite this, I suggest you to save regularly when you're in the mines, since you are on a time restraint here and restoring a saved game can sometimes be more appropriate than backtracking and dying. 

    For the mines, you will have to find the maps from within the game.  Finding them is part of the game challenge.

    For the tomb, the appropriate maps are provided in order to help you finding your way in this sometimes very confusing area.

    Finally, I must report a bug that occured in my game.  In the very beginning taking items from the backpack before you put something in it, can cause the game to crash.

    I hope you enjoy using these hints.
