A divine walkthrough ... Egypt: 1156 BC - Part 1 IN THE LAP OF THE GODS 1156 years before Christ was born, a rich civilization embedded in the Valley of Kings was embraced by the Gods. Unfortunately even then life wasn't all that pleasant. Tombs are being ransacked and people being are being disgraced. Determined to earn the favor of the Gods, you take up your task to find out who is tempting the revenge of the Gods and clear your father's name. May the Gods have mercy upon your soul and shed some light on your task! Ramos‚'s Guide: The Tomb Of Sethi The First / Level 1 The Village Of Deir El Medineh / Level 2 The Embalmer's Shop / Level 3 The Tomb Of The Nobleman / Level 4 The House Of Panehesy / Level 5 Karnak / Level 6 First level THE TOMB OF SETHI THE FIRST Talk to Montoemes and take his torch. Then place the torch on the left opening and enter the tomb. At the bottom of the stairs, turn around and take the plank that's against the wall. Walk on till you reach a shaft. Check the lower left wall to see a drawing of the hallway and the pit. At this point use the plank to cross the shaft and walk into the next chamber. Note: In the hallway before the shaft, drawings on the wall can be examined. Two of these drawings are about the Tit-knot and the Djed-pillar. Examining them will add information about them to your inventory. Might be useful later in the game! Take a look at the first pillar to your left and examine it. Use the document on the pillar to add the first clue of Ptah. Now return to the center of the room and walk straight forward into the other room. Get the cane that's behind the last right pillar. Go back to the picture of Ptah and descent the stairs to the left of it. Keep walking till you reach a large room with six pillars and more light then you are used to. Turn right and enter the small chamber. Use the cane on the cobra that's on the floor. After you killed it, pick up the amulet. Enter the large room again and walk forward till you hear two men discuss the excavations and ransacking. Those men are Inherkhaoe and Imennakht. Talk to them for some information. Then go to the stone rubble behind them and pick up three rocks to reveal an Ostracon. Examine it to find out it's some rock carving. Show the Ostracon to the men. Then show them the amulet. It must be of one of the workers. Imennakht will give you a ring which gives you access to the village of the workers. Exit the tomb and talk to Montoemes. Ask him to take you to the Square of Truth. Meet the workers and receive a checklist of men with Hori's name missing. He's the one you're after! Second level THE VILLAGE OF DEIR EL MEDINEH Meet Pentaour, the village keeper that holds you. Show him the ring and he'll let you pass. Take 3 steps forward till you hear a woman cry (she's having a baby...) and enter the door to your left. In the room with two possible exits, take the left and examine the wooden neck support. Put the document on the inscriptions and get your second clue, the Pedjet or bow. Go to the other room and find the tow on the ground. Take it and leave the house. Turn to the left and walk on till you find a small dead-end alley to your left. Enter it, turn around and find a ladder. Take it and leave the alley. Turn left and turn right at the end. Walk towards the dame with the funny hair-do and talk to her. Don't get tempted by her ideas! Use the ladder on the wall left of the door. The girl will cry out for help as she wants people to think Hori's being robbed. As if! Give her the ring to silence her. As she vanishes, use the ladder again and enter Hori's house. In the third room of the house, the one with all the broken vases, open the large basket and find half an amulet. Place the half you found in it and the amulet is complete. In the back of the room is a small altar from which you can take a silver vase which is probably loot from the tomb! Remove the mattress and enter the cellar. Find a very dead Hori who holds a papyrus. Get it and leave the house. Turn right and take two steps. Turn left and look at the door of Tscha‹'s house. Get the pen from above the door and use it to open the door's lock. Pulling the yellow and pink ropes, you will be able to open the door and enter. In this first room you'll find a lamp. Get it and walk forward to the dark room. Use the tow on the lamp in your inventory and they will shed some light on this matter. Look around and see a casket which belongs to Oushebtis. Examine it and see a dagger too. Take the casket and leave the room and the house. Find the 'main street', the long one with all those doors, and enter the side street (not the dead-end one!) and take two steps. Turn left and enter another house. There are two guys here and one of them is Imennakht. Talk to them and they'll tell you they need proof. Show them Oushebtis' casket. You'll get new orders to visit the embalmer's. Now get some rest on the mattress, enjoy your dream while time passes. Third level THE EMBALMER'S SHOP After choosing this location from the map, go to the far door. Knock and talk to the embalmer that opens. Give him the casket and he tells you to wait for your money. Disobey him and enter the house. Walk towards the room with the six altars and the five corpses. Go between the second and the third corpses to your left and examine the second dead guy (interface tells you about 'Natron' but the body's Tscha‹'s!). See the necklace he's wearing and use the papyrus from your inventory on the necklace. Put it back in your inventory and talk to the embalmer that has returned. He'll give you two debens, some ancient Egyptian bucks. When he tells you to follow him, go through the double wooden doors and turn left. Meet him again. Now he wants to be sure you're one of them so it's time for a little test. First part of the test is to pick the four items of Seth's crimes. Choose wisely; Oudjat-eye, Small Column, Tit Knot and Djed Pillar. Put them all in your inventory. Now it's time for a riddle. "That which is broken bears that which has been wounded. Beneath the belt of the widow is found the body of the victim." Not so hard to figure out those descriptions when you know you have to put the items like this from your inventory in the four-square- board in the upper left corner of the screen: 1. Upper left = Oudjat-eye 2. Upper right = Tit-knot 3. Lower left = Small Column 4. Lower right = Djed-pillar. Go to the next room and examine the large sarcophagi. It has drawings on the side and when you place your document on it, the third clue of Heri will be added. Now leave the house and follow the procession. Note: There's a golden vase near the sarcophagi which is part of the loot. Don't take it. If you do, you'll be caught as a common thief when you're leaving the house. Leave it alone and you can leave the house safely and have information about the tomb raiders you're after! @~To be concluded next issue - o -
