Salammbo Hints

How do I get the pariahs to help me?

  • 1 of 5: You won't even be allowed to try until you have the right equipment.
  • 2 of 5: Come back when you have a bow.
  • 3 of 5: Tell the guard you're going to use your bow and he'll let you in.
  • 4 of 5: Now you're in the middle of the village, with pigs and villagers running madly in circles around you. After you talk to the chief, open your inventory and pull out the bow. Hit three pigs and no villagers to proceed.
  • 5 of 5: You have an infinite supply of arrows, so have fun. Remember the game with the helmets and shoot just ahead of the pigs to take them down. Aim low so you don't hit the villagers.
