Salammbo Hints
How do I get through the room with the dead person?
1 of 13: Well, first of all, pick up the things he dropped: keys and tinder box.
2 of 13: Now look at the patterns on the stone in front of you. Do they look familiar?
3 of 13: You saw something like one of them on Hannon's arm.
4 of 13: Now go around the other side of this stone and look at the scrolls.
5 of 13: One of them has Roman numerals opposite symbols like Hannon's tattoo.
6 of 13: They must be numbers. Can you translate them?
7 of 13: You can't read all of them, but you can find the ones on the tattoo.
8 of 13: Hannon's tattoo, top to bottom, translates to 3124.
9 of 13: But! All the numbers go backwards, right to left.
10 of 13: So read the tattoo bottom to top: 4213.
11 of 13: Now go look at the patterns in the stone again.
12 of 13: The one at bottom right is a 1, and the one at top left is a 9. Can you fill in the numbers in between now?
13 of 13: Use the hammer in this room on the patterns: 4, 2, 1, 3.
