I translated this document from my Dutch walkthrough after that one was
complete. Everything you see is new and the FAQ will not be updated anymore
unless the Dutch FAQ is also updated.

¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
This document is a translation of my other Dutch walkthrough. While
translating I did not play the game anymore, so it is possible that some
translations (Especially names for items, locations, etcetera!) are not
entirely correct. Read the tips below before you start the game and use this
walkthrough. These remarks contain valuable information about using this FAQ
or the game.
I don’t have much to say here. It’s only important that when you end up
somewhere that you don’t turn around like crazy. In the walkthrough it is
often mentioned how you need to turn after getting somewhere and if you go
ahead and do it yourself it might be hard to correct it.

\ A / STORY /
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
A young archeologist is looking for an ancient Egyptian settlement rumors
speak of. The weird thing is that this settlement is supposed to be thousands
of miles away from Egypt. When she gets close to her goal she meets a Targui.
This desert inhabitant wants to liberate a water spring his family has been
using for years and is now occupied by a bunch of soldiers.
The soldiers are under the command of an irritating bald bad guy. The Targui’s
plan doesn’t go as planned and he’s taken as a prisoner. You, as the young
archeologist, have to help the bad guy to unravel the secret of a mysterious
crystal skull. While doing this she will visit numerous dream worlds she needs
to travel trough to prove she’s worthy of the secret.

\ A / THE HOGGAR DESERT /
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
From the start you can only move in one direction. So turn around until you
can see the cursor indicating you can walk that way. Choose that direction and
turn a little to the left to see a guard tower. When you move over here you
can here the main character say something. Walk up to the tower and you’ll
come to a guard standing next to it. You don’t need to talk to him, he’ll send
you away anyway. Turn to the right and you can see a route leading up along a
hill. Go there and turn until you see a rock over the road and down again, so
it’s a passage through the rocks. Try to walk ahead and you’ll see a short
movie. When it ends you still have to walk through the opening in the rocks.
Turn to the right and you’ll see a tunnel leading through the rocks. Walk
through this tunnel until you get to that weird white light. When you’re
standing there looking into the light, look down a little and you’ll see a
weird drawing on the floor.
Open your inventory with the circle button and get that round thing. Put it in
the middle of the circle on the floor and then select the stick from your
inventory. Use it on the round thing already in the circle to create a
spinner. You can see five signs above the circle. A head, two hands and two
feet. You need to look at the circle as a person. If you use the spinner on
the left foot it will eventually stop there. The bad news is that the spinner
takes a different route for each body part and deactivates the body parts
you’ve activated previously. So it’s not logical to choose the head, save that
one for last. Just try something and look how the spinner reacts for each body
part. In that way you can figure out in which order you need to choose the
body parts. If you can’t solve this puzzle, here comes the solution. First
pick the right foot, then the left hand and then the right hand. Then choose
the left foot and finally the head. You’ll see a movie in which a gate will
open for you. You’ll enter automatically.

\ B / THE EGYPTIAN DREAM /
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
When you’re in the Egyptian room, keep standing where you are and look to the
wall to the right of the sarcophagus. You can see a black star with
directional arrows below it at the top and middle of the wall. Remember this
combination of arrows. Left, right, right, left and right again. Then look at
the wall to the left of the sarcophagus and go over there. You can see a large
star on the wall there. You need to turn it in the order of directions that
were on the other wall. So first turn it left, then right twice, then left
again and then right. The sarcophagus will open and you’ll get to meet your
personal guide. You’ll get a small box from him. Open this box to find out
what’s inside and then put it away. Talk to your guide about the available
subjects if you want some more information. This isn’t necessary, so head back
to the position where you started when you’re done talking. So make sure the
sarcophagus is between you and the opening of the other side of the room and
then turn around so you’re looking right at the torch.
Then turn left a little to get the pillar in view. Look at the floor where the
pillar starts, just right of the pillar is a small wooden bird you need to
pick up. You can ask your guide about the bird, but eventually head over to
the opening where the light is coming from. Use the bird on the opening to fly
outside. You’re now standing outside the temple and your guide is already
sitting in his boat. You can talk to him again to get information, then get
into the boat yourself to fly to another part of the dream world. When you’re
not moving anymore your guide will supply you with a map of the area. You can
use this map to tell your guide where you want to go. That’s not necessary
right now. Just head into the temple on the island where you are now and talk
to the priest standing on the elevated platform. He will tell you what to do,
although it doesn’t make sense at all. The priest won’t say anything after
telling his story, so leave the temple and get into the boat. Pick the temple
on the map in the water at the top left to fly over there. Over there, walk
inside the temple towards the woman standing there.
She will talk to you, but just like the priest she won’t say anything after
that. Examine the wall to her right behind her. You need to tell a story here
by moving the pictures and the texts. The first time I did this puzzle I was
sure I did it right, but there’s one misleading piece in it. The order goes
from left to right and then continues on the bottom row. First try to get the
storyline right, then arrange the pictures accordingly. The solution will
follow now. The first tile needs the sentence Osiris, Son Of Earth And Sky, Is
Pharaoh and Isis, His Sister, Is Pharaoh’s Wife. He Brings Knowledge To Egypt.
The second sentence is Seth, Twin To Osiris, Is Jealous Of His Brother And
Plans His Murder. Then comes During A Feast, Seth Offers A Splendid Coffer To
Anyone Who Fits Perfectly Inside It. The fourth tile has to be All The Guests
Try The Coffer, But Only Osiris Can Lie Down Inside It. Place Before Osiris
Can Leave The Coffer, It Is Shut Fast By Seth’s Servants And Thrown Into The
Nile on the fifth tile. On the last tile of the top row you put Isis Seeks Her
Lost Husband. At Byblos, She Sees The Coffer Caught In The Branches Of A Tree.
Then go to the next row, where you start with She Hides Osiris In A Swamp, But
Seth Learns Of Her Actions And Determines To Discover His Brother’s
Whereabouts. The second tile of this second row needs He Finds Him And Cuts
Him Into Fourteen Pieces, Which He Hides Throughout Egypt. Then comes The
Faithful Wife Succeeds In Recovering Thirteen Of The Pieces. Three more tiles
to go and then on to the pictures. On the fourth tile of the bottom row you
put She Puts The Body Back Together And Prepares It With Oils And Perfumes.
Then She Wraps It In Bandages. He Appears Almost Reborn. On the fifth tile
comes After That, She Lies With Him And Conceives Their Son, Horus, The
Falcon. Last comes Who One Day Will Avenge His Father, Henceforth King Of The
Dead. Now you have the proper order of the text, now the pictures have to be
done as well. Start at the top left again and put the picture with the sitting
woman on the left (Isis!) and the standing man on the right (Osiris!) there.
The second picture is that of Seth, you can see fire in the background.
Then comes a picture of Seth and the coffer, there a cross on the coffer.
Fourth is the picture of the coffer with a man inside (Osiris!). On the fifth
tile you place the picture on which two men throw away the coffer. In the top
right corner you need to put the picture with the coffer with a palm tree to
the right of it. Start the next row with the picture of Seth, chopping with an
axe in his hand. There’s a picture with left in it the profile of a face, with
trees to the right. Place this picture on the second tile of the bottom row.
What follows is the picture of Isis with the body parts around her. On the
fourth tile you place the image with Isis on it and Osiris wrapped in
bandages. The second to last picture is an image of only Horus. This will
automatically make the last image the one with Horus and his father Osiris
with the sun in the background. The story is solved and the woman will talk to
you, you’ll receive a talisman from her. Leave the temple and get inside your
guide’s boat again. In the bottom right of your screen and the map you can go
to a beach with palm trees around it, head over there.
Walk away from the boat and you’ll come to a boy who is fishing. Select the
talisman and talk to the boy. Pick up the scale tied in his net after he drags
this out of the water. The boy will also give you a stone object after that.
Follow the route back to the boat and get in. Choose the island you can see in
the water with the temple in the bottom left of the map. Use the stairs to
head into the temple and stop right in front of the altar. Then look down to
see the altar. On top is an image of a woman, but to the side as well. Use the
stone object, the head of the woman, on the head of the woman on the side of
the altar, so not on the top. The altar will open and you have to pick up the
feather. Look up again, turn to the left and walk straight. There’s a wooden
stick coming out of the pole right in front of you. Place the scale there. Now
your goal is to place the feathers onto the scale to see which one is the
heaviest. This differs from game to game, so I can’t tell you which one it is.
Put a feather on both sides of the scale and keep the heaviest one.
Repeat this until you’ve weighed all the feathers and know which one is the
heaviest. When you know you have to return to the altar. Put back all the
feathers inside the altar, except for the heaviest one! Leave the temple and
get inside the boat again. You can see on the map that there’s also an area
underneath the body of the Sphinx. Let the guide fly you over there and also
head inside the temple over here. Walk to the altar that’s inside here, open
the box and take the Ankh with you. This is the only thing you need to do
here, so leave the temple again and get inside the boat. You now have the two
required items, so fly over to the temple where you arrived first, between the
front paws of the Sphinx. Head inside the temple and walk up the platform
where the priest is also standing. Turn to the left and place the ‘heavy’
feather on the block. Then turn to the right side of the platform to place the
Ankh on the other block. Leave the temple, get into the boat and fly to the
temple under the belly of the Sphinx where you found the Ankh. Also walk up
the box where the Ankh was inside and then open the little box with the beetle
you’re still carrying.

\ C / ENTERING THE SKULL /
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Step back through the gate you opened to get here. Walk out of the cave by
following the lights outside. Once there you can see that the man you saw
earlier has now been captured. There’s a guard next to him and to your other
side is his employer. Talk to this boss and after the conversation you will go
back to the Egyptian room. Another conversation will follow and you’ll regain
control after a while. Just do what the man orders you, examine the skull. You
will end up in a vague environment which is connected so weird that I can’t
tell you how to walk. You need to be somewhere in the middle to meet up with a
crystal dolphin at an intersection. Finding the dolphin for the first time
isn’t hard, it will be later on. Turn around completely when you first enter
the skull. The intersection you need to be at is the one you see ahead. When
you talk to the dolphin for the first time it will mention directions.
You can’t use them yet, you have to remember them for later. It would be a
good idea to write them down. Later you will receive even more directions, you
need to put them in the right order. For now what you hear from the dolphin is
enough. You now need to find a bubble of air within this maze that shows some
doors. Try to follow the directions from the dolphin in the room where you end
up. You will soon find out that it’s useless to continue. Then you need to
walk through the door opposite the clock on the other wall to get back inside
the skull. Look for the dolphin, now you just need to get back to the Egyptian
room. Look around you from where you’re standing to see an air bubble with a
picture of the Egyptian room inside it. You will then return and start to talk
to the bad guy. He will take off after that, but his helper will keep an eye
on things.
When you look at the small altar where the skull was there’s a pillar exactly
to your right. Turn towards it and you can see an image of a man on it. Click
on it and the man will come to life, talk to the guy. Your character has to
answer with Another Corridor or you didn’t open enough doors inside the skull.
The man will tell you a story if the answer is correct and then change back
into the image he was before. At the end of the room a weird item has appeared
which is hanging in midair. Walk around the small altar to get there and click
on it so that it will drop an item. Pick up this item. There are three buttons
around an eye, two of those will bring you to another world and the third one
just doesn’t work. Press the button on the outer right. You will hear a sound
and you’ll see that the wall behind you changes into a passage through which
you can only see snow and rocks. This is the next world you’re going to, so
step through the portal to end up in this ice age.
___
/_3_\______________________
\ D / THE PREHISTORIC AGE /
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
You’ll get to see a movie in which you’re character is walking through the
snow together with another man. After encountering a mammoth they will flee
into the cave. There you can continue playing. You can’t go outside so walk
more into the cave. Keep going until you start sliding down, the fall will
kill you and you’ll play as a ghost from there. There are three corridors
here. One will bring you back to where you started, the other two will end up
inside other rooms. Take the corridor you can find closest to the head of your
dead character’s body. You’ll end up in a room with a burned out camp fire.
Use the stick you have with you to get the fire burning again. You can now see
shadows of wolves on wall to both your sides, there’s one white wolf among
them. You need to send one wolf from the left and one from the right by
clicking on them to fight each other. When a wolf is defeated, send another
one into battle. Your goal is to make sure that the white wolf is the only
survivor.
In a movie this wolf will jump out of the wall and then disappear back into
it. Now that you know that the wall won’t stop you, walk straight to also get
through the wall yourself. You’ll end up in a totally different prehistoric
age, without ice. When you get out of the water, move forward once and look at
the island with the large thing above it. Look down to see the root of a tree.
Pick it up and continue walking until you get to a dead tree. Use the tree
root you just picked up on the bottom of the dead tree so that you have a
step. Now you can go to the next island using this dead tree. Turn to the left
until you see the small tree and then look further down to find a small stone
next to the edge of the water. Take it along with you and take a step towards
the tiger. Don’t continue there or the tiger will get you. What you need to do
is throw the stone at the tiger at the exact right moment so that he ends up
in the quicksand. This moment is when the tiger has just gone around the
corner and is walking up in the direction of the tree.
You need to hit the tiger when he’s almost at the tree with his head, so you
need to throw a little sooner. The tiger will jump into the sand and you can
continue. But before you do first look at the ground, where you can see a
branch you need to take with you between two rocks. Then continue along the
island until you get to a big rock. Use the branch you just found on the rock
so that it falls into the water and you can move across it. On the next island
you need to be very quick or you will pay for it with your life. Take a step
forward, then you can see a stone path to the left and a white wolf on the
right. Remember where the white wolf is and then follow the stone path,
through a small tunnel and then turn around so that you can see the black
wolf. Quickly follow the stone path upwards, the wolf will follow you.
Approach the white wolf to make the two animals fight each other. Then return
to the stone path and go back to the spot where you encountered the black
wolf. Over there is a long pole you need to pick up. Walk past the entrance of
the stone path so that you get to a hill with grass on it.
Look down and use the long pole you just found on the grass to get to the
other side. Then follow the island to the farthest point, there’s a log
waiting for you there. Get into the water to use the log and float over to the
middle island. Follow the path all the way up and then look up as well. Click
in the air to let yourself being beamed up. Walk over to the other side of the
area and pick up the spear thrower next to the skull. Then pick up the skull
itself as well. In the skull you need to look for the dolphin again. Talk to
him to get some more directions and then look for the air bubble somewhere in
this maze to return to the sunny prehistoric age, or the spaceship to be
precise. From there you need to beam back down again. Descend along almost the
entire circling path and look towards the island. You can see the drawing of a
wolf, click on it. You’ll return to the room where you lit the camp fire. Go
back to the large cave where your dead body still is. Then leave again through
the passage to the left of the body. In the room where you end up you need to
click on the image on the floor. You can then see all kinds of animals running
around on the wall.
Pick up the spear next to you on the ground and use it to hit the animals on
the wall. Don’t forget that you can still turn when you have the spear in your
hand, so turn right when you see an animal coming and time your throw. For
each animal you hit you’ll get a heart with the name of an element. When you
have them all, four that is, you can go back to the cave where the dead body
is. Now you need to place the four hearts you have on the correct corner of
the plate the dead body is placed on. On the hearts you can see the same
corresponding signs as on the corners of the plate. When the four hearts are
each on the correct corner, the ghost will go back inside the body. Your
character will get up and you can continue playing. Head into the cave you can
see to the right of the high waterfall. You will end up where you started this
part, where the man is still waiting. Your character will give the spear
thrower to the man, who will then use this new technique to kill the mammoth.
You will return to the Egyptian room. Get the remote control you have with you
on screen and click on the button below the eye. The image on the wall will
change, the ice age will switch to a garden from like a fairytale. Head into
this garden.

/_3_\__________________
\ E / TALE OF A THIEF /
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
When you’re inside the barrel, look up and remove the lid so you can get out.
You’ll get to see a movie, after that you’re in the garden and the story will
continue. Turn around and open the pot next to you so that the cat will run of
with a fish. Move one step away from the pots and then turn right. You really
need to be careful here, or a guard will spot you and you’ll have to play the
section from the start again. But anyway, after turning to the right you can
take another step forward. Then turn to the left and look at the floor next to
the corner of the garden barrier. Pick up the stone you can see there and turn
more to the left to see a large palm tree in the back of the garden. Throw the
stone over there. The guard will start walking to that location, so quickly
turn back to the right and then run to the ladder you can see in the distance
and take it with you. When you have the ladder, turn around quickly and return
to the spot behind the bushes where you came from. If you do this right the
guard will not see you and you will have the ladder. Stand with your back to
the plants and look up. Place the ladder against the balcony you can see there
and then climb up. As soon as you walk away from the balcony another guard
will show up, so quickly turn right after the movie and go through the door.
A young lady will save you from the guard, but you now have a harder
assignment. You’re now in a pretty large garden where there’s so much to do it
might make you crazy at first. Pay attention to my descriptions and try to
take in the surroundings. From the spot where you start you need to turn right
to climb the stairs between the rocks. Follow the path you see to the end,
there’s a stick in the corner which you need to pick up. Then turn around and
walk down the stairs ahead again away from the rocks. Keep walking in the same
direction, so between the little house and the large tower until you’re off
the elevated platform, this is two steps. Turn a bit to the left at the last
step to get to the path. Follow this path until you’re right next to the
pillars and then look up and to the left. In the tree you see there are
bananas. Use the stick you have with you on these bananas so that one of them
will fall to the ground. Pick up this banana and head up the small stairs
ahead. Turn right, take one step forward and turn to the right again. Descend
the stairs and approach the monkey you can see next to a pillar. Wait until
the monkey is juggling while standing still and then give him the banana.
The monkey will take off and leave his sticks. You have to pick them up, of
course. Turn around and go back up the stairs where you came from, turn to the
right up there and follow the path until you’re standing between the rocks. On
your way you will see some kind of bird house, just walk past it for now. You
can see a cute monster on the right with a cage above it, we’ll come back for
that later. To your left is some kind of crystal ball on the floor, you need
to take this with you. Turn around and walk forward to the bird house. Then
turn to the left and use the stairs to get into the building. Place the
crystal ball in the weird work of art to your right, you will get the horn of
a unicorn. In the PC version of this game there seems to be a puzzle before
this, but PS2 players will just receive the horn. Walk down the same stairs
you just used to get here and walk up to the bird house, use the just acquired
horn over there. The cage will catch the monster. Go over there and get the
box left of the monster in the wall. Take all three of the gems, turn around
and walk out the rocky area. In this garden there are three little buildings
with a woman dancing in front of the entrance.
You can look for these houses yourself, two of them are right next to each
other on one side of the garden and the other one is somewhere in the middle
on the other side. When coming to one of these houses, look inside the tent at
the bottom of the curtain. Try to enter the house and an ugly guy will jump in
front of you. The color of the curtain will match with one of the sticks you
got from the monkey. Show this ugly when the stick with the right color and he
will step aside. Then step inside the tent to talk to the lady sitting there.
She wants a gem from you, luckily you have them already. Give her the gem of
the same color as the stick you just showed and which is also the color of the
tent. You will get an item from the woman. Repeat this at the two other houses
and use the corresponding sticks and gems. Eventually you will have two keys
and a map, given to you by the women. With these items you can go to the large
tower in the middle of the garden. Open the gate at the bottom of the spiral
leading up with one of the two keys you got, probably the golden one. I don’t
know whether that is random or not. You now have to play a mini game against
the freak sitting in front of you now. Talk to him to start the game. You can
see a monkey climbing a tree. When you press the red button, the monkey will
throw down a coconut and it will bounce on the animals in the water.
The higher the monkey is up in the tree, the fewer animals you will hit. The
amount of animals you hit stands for the amount of moves you can make. In the
spiral are also some specials squares, some will help you go up, some will
make you go down again. Your goal is to get to the top before the freak does.
The first square you need to try to hit is seven steps away from the starting
position. So throw seven in two turns and you will end up at that square and
be transported upwards. Then try to avoid throwing two, because on the screen
you can see that this will put you on a bad square. From the square you land
on after being transported up, try to move eight steps forward to hit another
one of those good squares. So throw eight in two turns (But not a two or six
in the first throw!) and you’ll be moved up again. From here I kind of lost
track. If I’m right there should be at least one other good upward moving
square on the route, but also some more traps. When you get to the end sooner
than the dwarf, turn left and try to open the door with the other key,
probably the silver one. You’ll get to see a movie in which the skull plays a
big part yet again, then you’ll be at another location. When you regain
control you can go through the door in the bottom of the tower to be greeted
by a pair of snakes. Poke them with the long stick you have with you and they
will use their hypnotic powers to send you to another room.
You can see the image of a snake in front of you and some star signs around
you. On the floor you can see an image of a star filled sky. Your goal here is
to distinguish all the star signs one by one on the floor. So you need to
activate the stars of which you think they belong to the star sign you’re
working on. When all stars of a sign are lit up, lines will appear between
them and then you can try and find the next one. There are five star signs in
total and you need to reproduce them in the sky. One star in the middle will
not be used, you need this one for the second part of the puzzle. When you
manage to find all star signs they will all disappear and the star in the
middle will light up. Your goal is to make a route to the top star of the
snake star sign. So look at the image of the snake to see what is the top star
there and then find its position in the sky. Then you need to get from the
bright star to the top star of the snake with the lowest amount of steps
possible. Well, I managed to do it in four steps, but only when I used five
stars something seemed to happen. When you manage to do this you’ll be
standing in front of the stairs with the snakes again, but now the snakes are
gone. Head up the stairs and into the room. Turn towards the closet with all
the triangles inside it. This is another puzzle and below it are four more
triangles which are actually drawers. In the puzzle you can see four triangles
with an edge around them.
It’s your goal to let these triangles come up while all the other ones are
still down. Then you will here a click and the lowers will be opened. You can
solve this puzzle by clicking just four times, if you know how it works. At
your first button press the triangle below and to the right of the one you
press will change position. So if you press the triangle in the top left, the
triangle one row below and one column to the right will change. The second
time you press anything, again a triangle below and to the right of the one
you press will change, but this time it will skip one triangle. So when you
press in the left upper corner, the triangle two rows below and two columns to
the right will change. At the third time, the distance is again one triangle
larger. So if you press the top left triangle, the triangle in the bottom
right will change. If you press a fourth time, the triangle you press itself
will change. From that point on this pattern will repeat itself. Now that you
know how it works, you can manage to lift the correct triangles within four
button presses. Open the drawers underneath the puzzle and pick up four pieces
of paper. Then move away from the puzzle and the closet will turn around.
You’ll be confronted with another puzzle right away, the pieces of paper you
just found play a large part in it.
By analyzing the pieces of paper you can see in which order you need to open
the drawers, you only need to open four of them. If you look at the paper with
all four drawers on it and then to the one with only one drawer on it, you
will know which drawer to open first. Then look for the position of the
second, third and last drawer. The solution will follow now. First open the
third drawer from the left in the bottom row. Then open the third drawer from
the left in the top row. Third is the last drawer of the second row and last
is the drawer in the top left corner. In the closet you open is some kind of
dust cloth or something and a magical lamp. Use the cloth on the lamp to
summon the genie. You will get the black rose you’ve been looking for all this
time from him, and the crystal skull will once again show up inside the
closet. Enter the skull and talk to the dolphin, he will give you the last set
of directions. Then leave the skull through another bubble with a tower inside
it, opposite the dolphin. Then leave the tower through the door. The story of
the thief will end after he delivers the rose to the young lady. You will run
into the bad guy again inside the Egyptian room. After the conversation with
him you have to look inside the skull again to get back inside. Time to
discover the secret humanity longs to know so much.

\ F / SECRET OF THE SKULL /
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
When you’re inside the skull you need to look for a bubble with the image of
the hallway with the doors. I’m hoping you wrote down all the directions the
dolphin gave you, you’re going to need them now. But they’re probably not in
the right order now. You can put them in the right order based on what the
dolphin said. The dolphin will start each set of directions with an important
word. Begin, Next and Finally. Put the directions in that order and you’ll
have the perfect route. You will end up with the following solution. First
door on the left, then the third one on the right. Then the fourth door on the
left and the third door on the left. Last is the first door to the right and
then the sixth door on the left. In total you need to pass through six doors
in this order. When you do this correctly you’ll end up in a landscape where
an old woman and an old man will speak to you. The conversation you’re having
is a puzzle all by itself, because you need to say the right thing at the
right time to the right person. And you also have to walk up to them at the
right time and not. Walk up to the woman, speak to her about her and her
husband, the image with the two old people on it that is.
The woman won’t respond, but the man will call you over to him. Walk up to him
and he’ll say something. Then speak to him about the crystal skull. Then ask
him something about yourself, that’s the archeologist. Then talk to him about
the earth globe (Without the arrows!) and the woman will now say something.
Walk up to her again (Don’t talk to her from where you’re standing right now!)
and talk to her about the earth globe with the arrows. Last you have to talk
to her about the gift, in this case the staff which is inside the topic image
you haven’t discussed yet. Time to discover the secret and get out of here.
The conversation with the old folks is over, so turn around and walk around
the pond until you can’t go any further. From there you can walk into the
water. You’ll get to sea move in which the archeologist finds the secret.
After that she’s back in the Egyptian room with the bad guy next to her. Click
on the crystal staff you found to get back to the world of the dolphin.
Talk to him about anything you want, then turn around and look for the bubble
with an image of the camp in the desert. Click on it to get there. Turn right
to see a soldier between the two tents. On the tent to your left you can find
a flashlight. Use it on the soldier to knock him out. Look at the body of the
fallen soldier, especially at the extended arm. At his hand is a knife. In the
tent to the left of the body is your captured friend, free him with this
knife. Then look at the body of the fallen soldier again. On his belt you can
see a bundle of keys, you need to take them with you. You also need the keys
to the other car, or the soldier will come after you. Look up a little and you
can see a little bag hanging on the pole of the left tent. Take a second key
from the inside of this bag. Talk to your friend about the keys (You can do
this twice!) and then turn around so you can see a car to the left of a tree.
Use the correct key on this car to take off. If you get into the wrong car you
will be shot, if you use the wrong key you will be told that. You and the
desert guy will take off the car, the man decides to try and liberate the
spring again tomorrow.

¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
What I saw of this game on television and in the magazines looked pretty good.
When I saw the game for a reasonably low amount of money I decided to take it
with me. Where the game looks better graphically then most games, it’s worse
on other areas. I probably won’t play this game any more after completing this
FAQ.
