The Mystery of the Mummy Hints

What can I use instead of a torch (or after the torches run out)?

  • 1 of 4: There is an alternate source of light, which is not on a timer like the torches are.
  • 2 of 4: Look for an oil lamp and oil.
  • 3 of 4: Before you can use the oil lamp, you'll need to fill it with oil.
  • 4 of 4: In your inventory screen, take the oil, and combine it with the lamp.
