Salammbo Hints
How do I use the ballista?
1 of 6: First you have to load it.
2 of 6: Arrows are supplied from below.
3 of 6: See the winch at the left?
4 of 6: Go over there and turn the wheel to bring up a basket full of arrows. Pick them up and put them in the empty arrow rack next to the ballista itself.
5 of 6: Take an arrow off the rack, light it at the fire basket, and place it in the ballista.
6 of 6: At the back of the ballista there's a lever. Pull it and see what happens.
