Salammbo Hints

How do I get out of prison?

  • 1 of 7: Have you tried exploring a bit?
  • 2 of 7: Take the guard's keys, open every door you can see, and see what you see.
  • 3 of 7: One room has a high window and a winch.
  • 4 of 7: But the window is too high and the rope on the winch is too short.
  • 5 of 7: Supplement them with stuff from the other cells.
  • 6 of 7: One of the other cells has a stool, the other has a rope.
  • 7 of 7: Put the stool under the window, use the rope on the winch, tie the rope to the window bars, and use the winch.
