Salammbo Hints
What exactly do I need to do the first time around?
1 of 9: From the place where you start, go forward once to talk to Senator Bostar's slaves.
2 of 9: Go left to see a pig rooting among the garbage. Take the cloth he's chewing on.
3 of 9: Turn around and take the left fork. Go forward twice till you come across a slave looking for Hannon.
4 of 9: Go left (the only way you can go other than back the way you came) till you reach the front door of the Sacred Precinct. Talk to the guards.
5 of 9: Turn around and go left and up some stairs to talk to the port guards.
6 of 9: Go back to the Sacred Precinct guards, then go around the fountain and forward to a long walkway overlooking the sea.
7 of 9: Follow this walkway to the end, where there's a deserted tavern. There's a woman leaning on the bar; talk to her.
8 of 9: Follow the alley leading away from the bar. When you see another pig rooting about, look for a ladder to grab.
