Cleopatra is at war with her brother-spouse Ptolemy.
The city of Alexandria is in a bloody civil war.

You play Thomas the Chaldean, a student of astrology
and astronomy in Alexandria. Akkad is his teacher and
mentor. Iris, Akkad’s daughter is Thomas’ guiding light.

They lost contact due to her helping with a commission
that Akkad is doing for an unknown person. Thomas visits the observatory to see
if the work is nearly at end.

---

Note:    The gameplay changes from
one player to another depending on the zodiac sign selected. The day’s events
are
affected by that day’s horoscope. It can be a good day or bad day depending on
the favor of the Gods. The puzzle
difference during gameplay is noted by a sound and brief rain on the screen.

When the game is completed 2 new signs
are opened. One, all good days and the other, all bad days.

Bloody Disappearances

Garden of the
Observatory:

On the way to the
observatory, see blood on the pavement. Turn around and click on the door to see
that it is intact.

Turn around again. Click on the earthenware
jar in front of the right sphinx. Take the strip of papyrus.

Akkad’s bronze pyramid:   
Follow and click on the trail of blood. See Akkad’s pyramid ahead.

Bad day:    Go forward from the jar
and turn right. Take the papyrus stalk on the ground.

In front of the side of the pyramid baked by the
sun, pick up half of a
broken stick (half of a scytale used to decrypt a message written on a
strip) and Iris’s writing case from the ground.

Check the zodiac signs around the pyramid. Turn left and go forward.

Bad day:    Look left before the

Turn back and forward to the pyramid.

Go across the bridge and see the statues of Horus
and Anubis facing the mausoleum.

Akkad’s Mausoleum:    The
mausoleum is
across the pyramid. We cannot enter yet.

Look down on the water
in front of the pyramid and see the rhinoceros heads’ overflow blocked by reeds. There’s a papyrus there also.

Continue on to the bridge right of the mausoleum. Pick
up another piece of stick at right before the bridge.

Closed Gate:    Go forward to
the closed gate framed by 2 Hippopotamus waterfalls.

Turn around and pick Iris’ precious bracelet
from the ground.

Wall:    Cross the bridge and

Good day:    Pick up metal hook
and pot of bitumen close to the pile of bricks.

Bad day:    Pick up metal hook,
pot of bitumen and leather strap from the pile of bricks.

Turn around and look at the statue of Eros. This one
has an arrow.

Stick – In inventory combine the 2 sticks and
the pot of bitumen to get mended stick.

Then combine the mended stick and the strip of
papyrus taken from the jar. The person who ordered the divination has sent
someone to kill him.

Water drain:    Go back to the
papyrus in the hippo water drain in front of the mausoleum and pyramid.

Use the metal hook to get the papyrus. It floats
downstream.

Good day:    Use the metal hook to
get the papyrus caught on plants close to shore.

Bad day:    The papyrus is caught on
plants
far from shore.

In inventory, combine the 2 papyrus stalk with the
leather strap to make a long pole.

Use the long pole to get the papyrus.

Wet papyrus:    The papyrus is
unreadable and wet.

Go to the sunny side of Akkad’s pyramid. Use the wet
papyrus on the sunny side of the pyramid to get dried papyrus.

The papyrus is still unreadable when used with the
stick.

Use the papyrus with the writing pad and then use the
readable papyrus with the stick.

Iris writes: They injured my father! Go into the
observatory. If you can correctly name the arrow constellation and the 2
places it points to, then Sagittarius and Eros will open the doors for you.

The Mysterious Person Behind the Order

Sphere:    Go across the
bridge left of the pyramid and see a globe covered with constellations.

1. Based on Iris’ clue: Look for the Arrow
constellation. Click hold to turn the globe.

Place the cursor over the Arrow constellation and
the name of the constellation can be seen at top right of the screen.

2. Name the arrow constellation. Using the label of
the constellation in Greek letters, enter the letters by pressing the correct
Greek letters seen at the ring at the middle of the globe. Click-hold to turn the letter ring.

Place the cursor over the letter and the name of the
letter can be seen at top right of the screen.

The letters do
not repeat, so once it is pressed down, continue to look for the next letter to
be entered.
Thomas will say when the name is finished.

Enter: beta, epsilon, lambda, omicron and sigma.

See the stars in the constellation light up.

3. Name the 2 places it points to. The arrow
constellation points to Pegasus and Pisces.

Enter for Pegasus:    pi, eta, gamma,
alpha. Pegasus’ stars should light up together with arrow’s star.

If wrong, it will not light up or arrow’s stars will
dim.

Enter for Pisces: iota (with apostrophe before the
letter), khi, theta and upsilon.

All the 3 constellation’s stars should light up.

See the Eros with no arrow move its arm and bow.

Wall:    Go back to the Eros
statue by the wall of the garden.

Good day:    Pick up the intact
arrow in front of the pond.

Bad day:    Pick up the broken
arrow that nearly hit you.

Eros by pyramid:    Go back to
the Eros with no arrow.

Bad day:    In inventory, click the
broken arrow on the disassemble icon at right to get arrow tip and
arrow feathers.

Combine arrow tip, arrow feathers, mended stick and
pot of bitumen to get assembled arrow.

Click to position the bowstring. Place the arrow on the Eros statue.

Click on Sagittarius symbol that popped up on the pyramid. Oops,
too high.

Pick up the arrow and place it back on the bow.

Position the angle of the arrow by clicking on Eros.
Click it to the middle position.

Click on Sagittarius and the arrow hits the eye of
the animal on the wall of the Observatory.

A door opens.

On the Trail of the Guilty Party

Observatory:    Enter through the
secret door. The main door opens.

Akkad’s workshop:    Take
Akkad’s notes on the shelf left of the door. Akkad needs the ancient tablets
of Enuma Anu Enlil to decipher the stars for Cleopatra.

Go to the left and take the Heliolab note from
the end of the stone shelf. The heliolab is used to contact the Queen’s
emissaries by encoding the current Chaldean month.

Take the tablet mold and clay from the
box on the floor.

Turn around and down. Take the lighter from
the stool.

Akkad’s workshop:    Go
forward to the worktable. Pick up the letter from Akkad to Iris and the
small pliers from the table. The letter gives the commission: to find
out if an alliance with Caesar will enable Cleopatra defeat her brother.

Look up and take the notched rod (9 notches)
beside the lamp on the shelf.

Look at Akkad’s universal calendar on the wall
above the worktable. Today is the first day of the month of Arasammu and the
208th day of the year.

Turn around. Pick up the papyrus with months
from the chair in front of the other wall scroll slots. It is a list of months
according to Chaldean calendar. The month before Arasammu (ARASAMMU) is
TASRITU.

From the above clues, we know the month to encode on
the heliolab – Arasammu.

Now, we should encode the heliolab.

Terrace:    Move the curtain
at right and exit the workshop. The door to the reception room is locked and
the main doors are open.

Climb the stairs to go to the terrace.

See Akkad’s heliolab. Take the ancient rod for
tags that has preset tags already from the heliolab.

Pan left and open the chest. Take the papyrus
with codes from the chest. It shows the arrangements of the tassettes or
tags.

Go forward and see Akkad’s astronomical instruments.
Take the clepsydra, a time counter by water flow.

Turn around and see a sun dial. Go back down to the
workshop.

Arrange the code on the heliolab rod:   
Go back to the worktable.

Study the arrangement of the tags on the ancient
rod. It has large, small, large, large, small, large and small.

Look at the papyrus with codes. Look for the
arrangement similar to the one on the ancient rod.

The arrangement below it must be the one for
Arasammu.

Bad day:    Take the small board
propped on the worktable.

Pick up the small tassette-tag from the
basket.

In inventory, combine small board, small pliers and
small tassette-tag to get pile of tags.

Place pile of tags on the empty basket.

Place the notched rod on the slot on the table.

Using the tags from the 2 bowls on the table, place
from left to right: small, large, small, large, small, large, large, small.
Pick up the newly prepared rod with tags.

Send the code on the heliolab:   
Go back up to the terrace.

Place the rod with tags in the end of the ornate
cylinder at the bottom part of the setup.

Turn the rod at the other end to wind the spring
at the center.

Push the small metal plate on the ornate cylinder close to
the rod with tabs.

See the message sent. Thomas meets with Queen
Cleopatra. Akkad and Iris were taken by Ptolemy. Thomas was ordered to find
the Enuma Anu Enlil. While her soldiers are in the trail of Akkad and Iris.

A Broken Necklace

Go back to the Observatory and the workshop using
the ‘jump to’ of the map.

Go to the right corner of the room.

Open the cabinet on the wall left of the scrolls.
Take the scroll that tells the Story of Enuma Anu Enlil. Learn the fate
of the tablets.

Pan right and take the letter from the librarian
from the wall scroll slots. Aristion of Perganum, the librarian will
give the gathered information about the tablets to Thomas.

Library of
Alexandria:    Jump to or exit through the main gate to go to the
library.

Crocodiles are in the
library grounds! Pick up the broken necklace from the bloody cloth in
front of the closest crocodile.

Click on a crocodile and
realize that they are not Nile crocodile but from the Temple of Sobek.

Go forward using the
right side of the pond.

Good day – In
inventory, disassemble the necklace to get a papyrus.

Bad day – At right side
of pond, pick up the stone. Use the stone on the broken necklace to get the
papyrus.

Read the papyrus to see the clue in finding the secret
hiding place.

See boxes close to the
entrance. Try to pick up the ushabti figurine or the Sobek (crocodile) statue. An old
crocodile guardian arrives. He says that the Temple of Sobek was sacked and the
priests were killed. He wants all Greeks killed. As retaliation, he and his
crocodiles came here to the library and killed everyone. He is mad.

The Crocodiles of
Sobek

The mad old crocodile
guardian is preparing for his death. He wants 2 or 3 ushabti figurines to serve
him in the afterlife. He will let you pass if you can get him 2 more aside from
the one he has on the table.

Take the ushabti
figurine from the table.

Akkad’s Workshop:   
Use the map to jump to Akkad’s workshop.

Make
ushabti figurines:

Molds –
Get 2 clays from the box by the curtain.

In inventory,
combine tablet mold, clay and ushabti figurine to make unbaked ushabti half
mold (front).

Do it again –
combine tablet mold, clay and ushabti figurine to make unbaked ushabti half
mold (back).

Get 2 clays
from the box by the curtain.

Bake the
molds – Go to the kiln.

Take dry
leaves from the floor at right and place it in the kiln.

Use the
lighter on dry leaves to make a fire.

Add coal taken
from the box on the floor on the fire. Do this 3-4 times or until Thomas
says enough.

Place half
ushabti mold (front) on the embers.

Take the kiln
tong hanging on the left and keep it ready (over the mold) to pull out the mold.

Wait until
Thomas says it is ready; then use the tongs to take the baked ushabti half
mold (front).

You might need
to build the fire once more. Do as above.

Do the same
thing for the half ushabti mold (back) to get baked ushabti half mold (back).

Figurines
from mold – In inventory, combine the baked ushabti mold (front), baked
ushabti mold (back) and clay to make unbaked ushabti figurine. Make 2
(Good day) or 3 (Bad day) figurines.

Build the fire
again. Place one
unbaked ushabti figurine in the kiln at a time until you have 2 (good day)
or 3 (bad day) ushabti figurines.

Before you
leave, have 2 clays in inventory to save jumping later.

Library of
Alexandria:    Jump to the library and place the ushabti figurines
on the table.

Talk to the
old crocodile guardian completely. Now the old crocodile guardian wants to be
shown how to weigh his soul. This process needs 4 God statuettes.

Observatory
Garden – Mausoleum:    Remember this is where Akkad’s
mausoleum is located and he prepared for the afterlife already.

Jump to the Observatory Garden. Go to the mausoleum
and look close at the door lock.

Open the
door:     The door lock has 4 holes on top and 3 plugs on the
front. In between are hieroglyphs.

Read the
hieroglyphs:     I was born at one; at three already a
man I was; at five I was aged, past my prime; when nine shall chime the hour,
the tomb gates shall open.

Pull the left
plug and see water flow out. It’s a water lock!

Go to the
hippo waterfall beyond the bridge right of the mausoleum.

In inventory,
disassemble the clepsydra.

Use the
clepsydra on the waterfall (not on the pool water). Fill it to the 12 hour mark.

Go back to the
water lock on the mausoleum door.

Use clay to
plug the open hole on the right at front of the lock.

From left to
right: Place one hour or 1 click of water on the left, next 3, then 5 and 9 on the
right. Fill the clepsydra when needed. The count can be checked using the bar
that rises from each hole.

Bad day – One
of the plugs pops off. Use clay to plug the new hole.

Statuettes:    
Enter the mausoleum. It’s dark. Look down in front of the tomb and use lighter
on the oil cavity on the left.

Go to the God
shaped containers on the right. Open each container and take Isis,
Thoth and Anubis statuettes.

Turn over the
cover of the Anubis container on the floor and take the Horus statuette.

Go to the opposite wall and study the soul weighing
ceremony fresco. Isis is on the left, Thoth, the scale, Anubis and Horus at right.

Now, you know
how to arrange the statuettes.

Library of
Alexandria:    Go to the library (either by map or exit the gate).

Crocodile
caretaker:     Place the God figurines on the casket’s
black squares. From left to right: Isis, Thoth, 2 empty black squares, Anubis and
Horus at right.

The mad
crocodile caretaker makes a path to the door of the Great Library.

The
Euclid Enigma

Great
Library:    Go inside the library. Turn around and pick up the grappling hook. Turn right and see crocodile eggs in a basket.

Go forward to
the left side of the room. Look at the fire. Take the digging bar right
of the lamp stand.

Go forward.
Look at the painting at far wall. Turn left and go forward to the corner. Take
rope beside the crocodile. Look at the destroyed wall scroll slots. In
inventory combine rope and grappling hook.

At the center
of the room is a crocodile with metal bracelets on its legs and a metal collar.
Click on collar and Thomas says the necklace is resistant.

Go to the sitting man.
Talk to Kordax, servant to the Ptolemeics. He’s a hunchbacked jester of sorts. He wants Thomas
to get him get away from the mad crocodile caretaker. Look at the crocodile
guarding or waiting for dinner in front of Kordax.

Enter the room
beyond Kordax.

Room of
rare plants – Look around. Turn right and pick up 4 piles (stacks) of 4
bowls.

Look up on top
shelf and take inventory of Ingredients scroll.

Review the
clue given by Aristion in his necklace’s papyrus. Aristion writes that the
clues to the location of the secret room are:

1. List of plants used as diluents
or solvent by painters: in a basin of water add one handful of Lullibi flowers,
2 handfuls of Makkan seeds, 2 handfuls of Uruku roots and one handful of Amath
leaves.

2. A Euclidean
inspiration: The first four prime numbers will open the door.

Based on the
inventory of ingredients scroll, there are no Amath leaves.

Pan right on
the right shelf and use bowl to get: Lullibi flowers, Makkan seeds, gray
nugget, red powder, gray powder, white powder, black powder and green powder.

Turn around
and use bowl to get: Uruku root, Meluhkha bone, Canaan thorns, orange powder,
white powder, yellow powder, ochre powder and white nugget.

Bad day – the
gray nugget is moldy and can not be taken. There will be one empty bowl in the
end.

Laboratory –
Go to next room. Take and read the Diomedes reaction scroll from the wall, the
Zoilos reaction scroll on the left on top of the plank and the Prusias
properties on the table beside the empty bowl.

Ah there,
Prusias scroll states that Amath leaves and Canaan thorns have the same
properties.

Click a bowl
of ingredient on the holder and automatically place the bowls on the holes. All the holes
should have a bowl.

Turn right and
pick up empty decanter from the shelf.

Prepare the
solvent – Use big empty metal bowl on the water on the right to get filled bowl.

Add one
handful of Lullibi flowers, two
handfuls of Makkan seeds, two
handfuls of Uruku roots and one handful of Canaan thorns.

The solvent is
done. Use the empty decanter on the bowl of solvent to get solvent.

Great
Library – Now, where to use the solvent? Go back to the Great Library.

Columns
– Go to the painting of the Ptolemeics at the back wall. Look down on the right
and look close at the base of the column right of the painting. The column is
painted to look like marble.

Use the
solvent on the base of the column to reveal triangle pointer, numbers and a
hole.

Do this to all
the bases of the 4 columns.

Look again and
Thomas says it looks like it can be turned but needs power of a colossus.

Place the
digging bar on the hole. If you haven’t
done it yet, combine rope and grappling hook.

Power of a
colossus?  Ah, but we do have one at the center of the room.

Go to the
giant crocodile with the metal bracelets and collar – Souchous. Very cute name!
Hiss!

Use the rope
and grappling hook on Souchous.

Aristion’s clue
stated: The first four prime numbers will open the door. The first 4
prime numbers are 2, 3, 5 and 7.

Left column – Take the end of the rope and use
it on the short end (back side close to the wall) of digging bar inserted in the
first left column. The first column points to I. It should be turned once to II.

Go back to
Souchous but the old caretaker states that Souchous understands only the stick.

Go outside and
take Sobek’s staff beside the Sobek statue.

Use the staff
on the crocodile. The column turns once and the arrow on the first column now
points to II.

Second from
left column – The second column is at II. Untie rope and take bar from
previous column. Insert bar, tie rope
to the short end (back side close to the wall) of digging bar and tap Souchous once to get the column to point to III.

Third from
left column – The third column points to II and needs to be moved to V.
Untie rope and take bar from previous column. Insert bar, tie rope to the short
end (back side close to the wall) of digging bar
and tap Souchous three times to get the column
to point to V.

Rightmost
column – The fourth column points to I. Untie rope and take bar from
previous column. Insert bar, tie rope
to the short end (back side close to the wall) of digging bar and tap Souchous three times to get the column to point to VII.

Secret
Chamber – The bottom part of the painting on the left opens to a secret
chamber. Enter the secret chamber.

Take the
tablets on the chair. Sobek’s guardian realizes that he was tricked.

Escape

Find yourself
in front of Kordax. Talk to him completely. Look around and see that both of you
are cornered by the crocodiles. The guardian is in the secret room.

Open the
basket on your feet. Take the Soothing balm scroll. Take fillets
of dried fish.

Prepare the Sleeping draft – Go to the laboratory.

Study the
recipe in documents. Realize that you do not know which one is the Ashod resin
in nugget form and which one is the white powdered Tjekker flower.

Good day –
There are 2 nuggets and there are 2 white powders.

Bad day –
There is one nugget but the gray nugget is moldy. There are 2 white powders.

Read the
Diomedes reactions scroll and see how to test for Tjekker flowers and Ashod
resin.

Tjekker
flowers:

Empty the bowl
of water by clicking it on the container on the left. Use empty bowl
on the water on the right to get filled bowl.

Add 1 handful
of Mitanna gum from one of the top left containers, 2
handfuls of Arsawa powder and 1 handful of white powder 4th from left bottom row.

If correct, Thomas will say: I identified one of
the constituents. The bowl will then be labeled.

Ashod Resin
(Good day):

Empty bowl and fill it with water. Add 1 handful
of Mitanna gum, 2
handfuls of Arsawa powder, 2
handfuls of Pitasa gum and 1 handful of grey nuggets powder.

If correct, Thomas will say: I identified one of
the constituents. The bowl will then be labeled.

Ashod
resin-Ataniya roots (Bad day):

Read the
Prusias properties scroll that states that Ataniya roots and Ashod resin possess
similar properties. Read the Zoilos reactions scroll to identify Ataniya roots.

Empty bowl and fill it with water. Add 1 handful
of Kerma powder, 2
handfuls of Arsawa powder, 2
handfuls of Pitasa gum and 1 handful of grey powder.

If correct, Thomas will say: I identified one of the
constituents. The bowl will then be labeled.

Sleeping
Draft:

Empty bowl and fill it with water. Add 2
handfuls of gray powdered Melukhka, 2
handfuls of Ashod resin (good day) or Ataniya roots (bad day) in nugget form, 2
handfuls of green powdered Canaan thorns and 2
handfuls of white powdered Tjekker flowers.

Add fillets of
dried fish to Kordax’s concoction to make soporific fish. They will turn pink.

Go back to the
crocodile in front of Kordax and give it the soporific fish.

The
Cyclops

Watch the 2
escape. Kordax stayed in the Observatory. Thomas meets with Cleopatra and the tablets were
given over. Akkad and Iris are in the Isle of Pharos. There is an epidemic
there. Thomas is to be given an antidote and sent there to save
his mentor and lover.

Isle of
Pharos:    Kordax’ friends dropped Thomas at the Isle of
Pharos.

Thomas can
contact them again using the horn hanging on a post beside the pier.

Turn around
from the lighthouse and see a pile of sand. You might need it later.

Lighthouse of
Alexandria:    Go forward to the lighthouse passing a ladder
and Cyclops-catapult-war machine.

See a light
signal on top of the lighthouse. It is similar to the heliolab. That must be
Iris and her father.

Go forward to
the wall. Look at the wall that is partially destroyed by the war machines.
See sand piles close to the lighthouse wall and note the dead soldiers behind
the barricades.

Cyclops –
Catapult – War machine: Go back to the war machine. It needs to be reset.

Catapult
counterweight – Go to the front part of the catapult facing the lighthouse.

Place the 3
sand bags from the ground in the counterweight bin. See that it still not full. If the
counterweight is not full, the shot will fall short.

Make new
sand bags – Go to the galley that ran aground at the beach. Look at
the galley. There’s a beam
on the sand.

Look right and
open the chest that contains the galley sails. Take needle and reel of thread
and the fraying instrument.

Use the
fraying instrument on the sail inside the chest to get large section of sails.
Use the fraying instrument on the large section of sails to get small strip
of sail.

Combine needle and reel of thread with small strip of
sail to make bag. Make
three bags.

Go to the sand pile by the pier (or to the pile of sand close to the lighthouse wall). Use the 3
bags on the sand to get 3 sand bags.

Place the 3
sand bags on the counterweight. If it is full, Thomas will say so.

Winch –
Go to the back wheel part of the Cyclops-catapult.

Look down and
see that the winch cable loop on the ground. Look up and see the winch to
hold it is up on the beam.

Turn around
and pick up the ladder. Turn around and prop the ladder on the beam.

Pick up the
winch cable loop from the ground.

Climb the
ladder and attach the winch cable loop on the winch. Thomas says that it will not
hold together and needs a peg.

Go down and
pick up the broken peg on the ground.

Go to the
galley. Open the galley carpenter’s chest left of the beam.

Take the
hammer and chisel. Use the chisel on the beam to get piece of wood.

In inventory,
combine the broken peg, piece of wood, hammer and chisel to get new peg.

Good day – The peg will hold.

Bad day – The peg breaks and have to make a new one
again.

Climb the
ladder and place the new peg on the hole of the winch cable to hold it tight.

Load the
catapult – Climb down the ladder and return the ladder to the boulder at
other side.

Go to the front part of the catapult and take the wooden frame with circular
hole in the middle and the ball of stone from the ground. The wooden frame seems to fit
around the stone.

Go to the back
part of the catapult. Turn the switch below the wheel to the left position to tighten the
cable. Turn the wheel to lower the beam.

Take the
catapult sling that is lowered and place it on the beam at the middle of the
base of the catapult.

Place the
stone ball on the sling.

Take the
hook attached to catapult sling and use it on the ring at end of the lowered
beam.

Fire the
catapult – Turn the switch below the wheel and see that it is stuck.

Use the hammer
on the peg inserted on the lowered winch.

See the ball
hit and makes more damage to the wall. Go to the wall and check it out. See if
you can get through the damage.

Pick up the
stone ball. Go back to the catapult and click to pick up the winch cable
loop. Automatically, the catapult setup is done.

Fire the
catapult again.

Good Day –
There’s an opening to pass through.

Bad Day – The
stone ball is in pieces and you have to make a new one.

Take
rubble from the pieces on the top of the wall.

In inventory,
combine rubble, chisel and wooden frame to make a new stone ball.

Fire on the
wall again to make a bigger opening.

Apollo’s
Chariot

Plaque:   
Look down and see a broken plaque on top of a boulder close to the wall.

Pick up the
plaque pieces from the ground. Put the pieces together with the broken
plaque on the boulder.

Thomas will
read about ‘Sostratos dedicated this monument… whoever destroys the lighthouse
shall fall victim to the 3 Gorgon sisters…’

Inside the
Lighthouse:    Go through the opening on the wall.

Turn left and
pick up the chain mail from the floor.

Go forward and
try the metal door that leads up to the top of the lighthouse. It’s locked!

Apollo’s
chariot:    Go to the other side of the room and look at the
broken winch wheel.

Automatically
look up and see Apollo’s Chariot (elevator) that rose to the top of the
lighthouse.

Name wheel
– Look left at the inscribed metal plaque-wheel on the pillar.

Good day – The wheel is intact.

Bad day – The wheel is bent.

Use the hammer to straighten the wheel.

Click on the
inscription below the wheel: You… who built this lighthouse, become the
guardian of the sun chariot.

Remember the
broken plaque outside; it mentions Sostratos as the dedicator (builder) of the
lighthouse.

Turn the
letters to form the name Sostratos on the horizontal center of the wheel: sigma,
omega, sigma, tau, rho, alpha, tau, omicron, sigma.

SWSTRATOS

Click at center of the wheel. It opens. Take the
letter of the kidnapper to the ‘favorite of the King’. Sounds familiar.
Learn the fate of Iris and Akkad.

Apollo’s chariot – Pull the lever and the
counterweight is dropped.

Go to the counterweight. Let’s find out what weight balances the chariot and the counterweight.

Good day – All the weights are intact.

Bad day – Some weights are broken by the soldiers.

Take all of the weights from the counterweight cage
and place it beside the other weights on the stone shelf.

Thomas says that the counterweight and chariot seem to
weigh the same.

The chariot dropped to the ground now that the
counterweight is lighter.

Now to even the weight of the chariot and the
counterbalance.

Good day – Place 11 weights on the chariot.

Bad day – Go back outside and take 3 sandbags from the
catapult’s counterweight.

Place 6 weights on the chariot and the 3 sandbags.

Take the rope hanging at right to lower the
counterweight. The rope will automatically be tied to the ring on the floor.

Now place the rest (10) of the weights in the
counterweight box. This makes the cage just a bit lighter than the chariot.
Untie the rope and the heavier chariot goes down.

Enter the chariot! Take the weights off the chariot
while you’re on it and place them back at the ledge and place the sandbags on
the floor.

When you-chariot gets lighter than the counterweight,
you rise up to the top.

Hydra

Hydra
chamber:    Where is Iris? Go up the stairs to the Hydra
room.

Winch:    
Go to the left and see a winch on a stand with depictions of 3 Gorgon heads. The winch is
blocked and cannot be turned.

Read the
inscription on the winch stand. Three Gorgons guard the sun, call them and the
light shall be yours.

Look up to the
ceiling and see the Great Prism. It looks low. The winch is used to lift the
Great Prism.

Go to the
other side with a hole on the floor. Look up and see a basket up there.

Go to the
center of the room and Iris will call out. Talk to Iris completely. A hunchback!
Now, that is quite a coincidence.

3 Gorgon
Sisters:     Based on the inscription, we need to know
the names of the 3 Gorgons to call them. Where did we see the Gorgons mentioned?

Plaque
– Exit the room and go down the stairs. Remove the bar holding the metal door
and go to the main door.

Go back out to
the broken plaque.

In inventory,
combine the chain mail, the wooden frame and the reel of thread to make a
sieve.

Use the sieve
on the 2 piles of sand left of the broken plaque until Thomas says that’s all
the pieces that can be found here now.

Put together the plaque and see if you need to look
for more pieces.

If you need more pieces and have used
the sand close to the wall when making the sandbags, pick up 3 sandbags made from the catapult
counterweight.

Empty the
sandbags on the sand close to the wall. Sift through the sand to get the
remaining
pieces.

Put the pieces
together to form the plaque. Read the
completed plaque.

The document
shows the name of the 3 Gorgons in red: Medusa, Euryale and Stheno.

Enter the
name – Climb back up the stairs to the top of the lighthouse.

Go to the
center of the room and see a ring of Greek letters on the floor.

Enter the
names of the 3 Gorgons by pressing on the Greek letters. Verify the letter by
the label at top right of the screen.

The letters on the floor do
not repeat, so once it is pressed down, continue to look for the next letter to
be entered.
Thomas will say when the name is finished.

Medusa:   
mu, epsilon, delta, omicron, upsilon, sigma, eta. And a renowned Gorgon at
that!

Euryale:   
‘epsilon (with apostrophe), rho, alpha, lambda. Two Gorgon names down.

Stheno:   
theta, nu. The Gorgons are defeated!

Great
Prism:    Use the winch to raise the Great Prism.

Panels:   
Go to the center of the room and look up at the Great Prism.

Note that
there are 3 areas that do not have a raise panel that looks brown.

Click on the area with no brown panel and Thomas will know that the rope can be raised
for that area.

Look-move down while following the
column and then the rope down to the end on the wall in front of you.

Then pull that
rope and the panel will be opened.

Iris comes
down from the top of the lighthouse. So Kordax is the head of the kidnappers? They
(actually Iris) reached a
decision to stay and do Cleopatra’s divination.

Cleopatra
agreed that Iris do the divination.

Unwashed
Hands

Observatory:

 Terrace:   
Talk to Iris twice completely. Look at the heliotrope and see that the rod is
missing.

Go down the
steps. Hear Kordax call out.

Turn around and see – take the part of a mask from
the bottom step of the stairs. In inventory, click the 2 masks together and see that
they are parts of one.

Go back up to
Iris and talk to her. Now, Iris is sure that Kordax is the murderer.

Reception
room:    Go down and enter the reception room. Talk to Kordax
completely. Told ‘ya!

Go back to the
terrace and talk to Iris. She needs to find Akkad’s secret observatory in the
mausoleum to use the proper instruments. The medallions in Akkad’s crown are
the key and the frescoes in the tomb would show the way. Iris decided to poison
the nail biting Kordax.

Go back down
and talk to Kordax. Pick up his washbowl. Turn around and take the
Fragrance formula from the table by the wall.

Library of
Alexandria:    Use the map to jump to the library gardens.

Garden:   
Go to the end of the pond. See that the old crocodile caretaker is dead.

Take Sobek’s
staff and use it on the crocodile. Enter the library and go to the laboratory.

Laboratory:
   Using the scrolls as reference, identify all the ingredients.

Go to the reception room. Place the poisoned and fragrant washbowl on the table.

Good day – Kordax falls
asleep.

Bad day – Kordax will
say how he learned from King Mithridates how to be immune to poisons.

Take the washbowl.

Go back to Iris and talk
to her. She says her bracelet has poison that is not well known to even an
assassin.

The bracelet needs to be
dipped in a solution of Melukhha bones.

Library Laboratory

Take the horn and
automatically blow the horn.

Go back to Iris and talk
to her.

The Astral Gate

Mausoleum:   
Jump to the mausoleum.

Find the entrance to
the secret observatory:   

Iris said the
medallions in Akkad’s crown are the key.

In inventory, combine
the 2 halves of Akkad’s crown to get Akkad’s crown, the
Aries medal and the Taurus medal.

Look at the fresco
facing the door. It shows Aries on the right and the Taurus on the left above a
barge where Iris is sitting on.

Go to the back of the
structure. See a barge with 2 men holding their hands out. Place the Aries medal
on the right man and the Taurus medal on the left man. Hear a noise.

Go back to the front
part and see that the slab recessed. It exposed a circle made up of astrological
signs and 2 hands (moon and sun). Some of the astrological circles are covered.

The frescoes in the
tomb would show the way.

Look at the frescoes on
the sides of the structure. Capricorn, Sagittarius and Aquarius are on one side.
Scorpio, Cancer and Gemini are on the other side.

Go back to the
astrological circles. Move the sun and moon so that Scorpio, Capricorn,
Sagittarius and Aquarius are exposed on the left and Cancer and Gemini are
exposed on the right.

This happens when the
Sun is at 12 o’clock position and the moon is at 7 o’clock position.

In inventory, combine
Akkad’s crown and the small pliers to get all the rest of the crown’s
medallions.

Place the Scorpio,
Capricorn, Sagittarius, Aquarius, Cancer and Gemini medallions in their proper
place.

Take note that there are
4 holes in each medallion. There are rods on the 4 corners framing the circles.

Go to the frescos and
study each one. Take note that each of the 6 frescos has demons and astrological sign
depicted.

Look at the frescos again. Note the placements of the demons of each of the 6
astrological signs.

Go to the front and
insert rods on holes of each medallion using the position of the demons as
guide.

Do this to all the 6
astrological sign. If done correctly, hear a sound and the entrance to the
secret observatory is opened.

Secret
Observatory:    Go to the back side of this structure and see
steps going down.

Use the
lighter on the oil cavity left of the entrance. Go down the steps. Look around
and click at right side of the chamber.
Thomas says ‘We have to fill it with water from the basins.’

Look right and
see the last fresco. Open the small casket on the left wall. Take and read Akkad’s last will and testament. So
we need to raise the observatory to the roof.

Look at the
chest with a Libra sign on the cover. Use the Libra medallion on the circle.
Open the chest and take the moldboard tube and Heron’s letter to Akkad about the
Titan.

Go forward and
see the Titan set up on the right.

Go forward to
the platform at end of the room. Take the gangway at right before
climbing to the platform.

Climb to the platform and look at the 3
astrological instruments. Take the beam at left side of the
platform (bad day only). Thanks, GeeGee!

Titan:   
Go back to the machine. Talk to Iris.

Light up the Titan – Open the 2 grills of the furnace.
Use the lighter to start a fire on both sides.

Pull the
handle bar over the furnace and the other handle bar over the coal-heliolites on
the left. This will vent the smoke out.

Go back
outside and go to the Horus and Anubis statues across the mausoleum. Remove the
cover of the vents to release the smoke outside.

Fill the
water basin:    Go to the area close to the wall where the
Eros with the arrow is located.

Face the pond
and see the 4 hippos at the middle of the pond. It’s an overflow. Place the gangway to cross to
the hippos.

Cross over and
look down. See the overflow to the secret observatory.

Good day – The drain is unblocked.

Bad day – The
drain is covered by a trapdoor. Use the beam twice on the trapdoor that blocks
the overflow.

Pull up the
sluice gate at top of the overflow. Water pours in the secret observatory
basins.

Go back to the
secret observatory.

A crocodile blocks the walkway. Use the Sobek staff to
send it on its way.

Make steam
power:    Be sure that the furnace domes are closed.

Look at the post right of the furnace.

Insert the
Pisces medal on the circular slot between the sun and moon.

Press the moon
and the big container on the right goes down and fills with water.

Automatically, press the sun and the big container
filled with water rises.

Insert the
moldboard tube on the pipe on the left (behind the post) to connect the furnace dome with the water
container.

Pull up the
valve on the wood end (water container) of the moldboard tube to release water
to the furnace dome.

Open the grill
doors and see if you can now add heliolites (coal) to build up the fire. Add 5
scoops to each side or until Thomas says there’s enough on both furnaces.

Release steam
to power the platform:    Go forward just below the platform.

If the furnace
is done correctly, see steam come out from top of the machine at right.

See 3 circles
that stop the rotation of a wheel. This wheel turns to raise the platform
when the steam powers it up.

Turn around
and unlock the chest by placing the Leo medal on the circular slot.

Good day –
There are 3 disks inside.

Bad day – The
chest is empty.

Go back to the
heliolites bin. The removal of some heliolites from the bin exposed a sack.

Open the sack
and take the fire disk, air disk and water disk.

Face the
machine by the platform. Insert the Virgo medal at the center.

Place the air
disk at top, fire disk at bottom left and water disk at bottom right slots.

Watch the
platform rise to the roof.

Cleopatra reads her divination.
