Odyssey: The Search for Ulysses Hints

How do I get out of jail?

  • 1 of 10: Until you get your hands untied, you're not going anywhere.
  • 2 of 10: Once your hands are free, look around the cell for an exit.
  • 3 of 10: The front door isn't the best way to go.
  • 4 of 10: Look up.
  • 5 of 10: There's a hole in the ceiling.
  • 6 of 10: Use the wall on the back of the screen (so that the door is on your left when you're facing the wall), just below the hole to climb out.
  • 7 of 10: You'll now be on the roof, but you still need to find a way to get rid of that guard.
  • 8 of 10: Look to see if there's anything you can use on the roof.
  • 9 of 10: There's a large stone up here.
  • 10 of 10: Pick it up and then use it on the guard, or at least use it when you're just above him.  You're now out of jail.
