Sam & Max: Season 3 Hints

How do I read the hieroglyphics?

  • 1 of 6: After you give the Sphunx the correct offering, a row of hieroglyphic symbols appears on its forehead, and Sameth has no clue how to translate them. We need to find someone who can read hieroglyphics.
  • 2 of 6: We're in turn-of-the-century New York. That's the place to go for immigrants; there must be one somewhere who can read hieroglyphics.
  • 3 of 6: Have you found out where the elves live?
  • 4 of 6: The elves can't help you, but the mole woman with the heavy accent might. She lives in the basement of the office building nearby (which will one day be Sam and Max's office); click on the front door to go see her.
  • 5 of 6: Once you've gotten to the second part of the Challenge, you can ask her to translate those hieroglyphics for you. You can now go back and complete the second part of the Challenge --
  • 6 of 6: -- and you also now have the translation that will let you get out of the tomb in The Standoff (Reel 3), where you started.
