Chapter three - Dan The Next Big Thing Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Dan is in a rather interesting situation - the main temple priestess, Krom-Ha, clearly discovered a liking to him, but our hero's goal is not necessary a love game. He would prefer to escape from the temple taking Big Albert with him. Unfortunately Big Albert is still in a sarcophagus which is guarded by robots controller by decorative collar which Krom-Ha wears around her neck.

Deliver 8 hieroglyphs to the Oracle of Shadow, part 1

Leave the bedroom through a door on the left. It is time to look around the temple in search of some way out of this situation. In a great hall head right and go through any of the double doors on the right of the main stairs. You'll get to the Oracle of Shadow hall. Talk to her, or rather with him. You will learn that in order to deal with a priestess you need a Book of Dead. However before Dan will be able use it, he must have a knowledge of Egyptian. Therefore first you have to deliver 8 hieroglyphs to the oracle.

Return to the bedroom and examine the vase standing next to the priestess. There are coins inside but you can't steal them when she watches you. So ask her about a kiss and during a passionate embrace get coins out of the vase. You'll get a coin with the first hieroglyph.

Leave the bedroom and talk to a guard standing at the top of a stairs in the hall. Discuss about age of your staffs. After conversation suggest him an exchange - his Egyptian, curved staff for Dan's baseball bat (use it on the guard). This way you'll get a staff with the second hieroglyph.

Find the mummy

Then go to the right (to the end) and go through the door between columns on the right. You'll get to a room with sarcophagi and a disappearing mummy. Remember in which sarcophagus mummy was when Dan saw her first and second time. A mummy moves through sarcophagi to the right by certain (random) number (3, 4 or 5). You have to find a sarcophagus where the mummy is hidden by calculating its movement. If for example the mummy first showed up in a third sarcophagus (counting from the left) and then in a sixth sarcophagus, it means that she moves by three sarcophagi - the next one should be ninth. But there are only seven sarcophagi in total, so the correct answer is a second sarcophagus. When you discover a place where the mummy is hiding, you can pick up her dagger with third hieroglyph.

Deliver 8 hieroglyphs to the Oracle of Shadow, part 2

Now go to the theater (the upper or lower entrance on the left). There are two robots guarding sarcophagus with Albert inside. After first conversation accost a robot on the right (Pazzo) and talk with him about a second robot (Ducky). Ask him to show you his trick. When Ducky performs a trick with a cylinder, a carrot and a rabbit, go to the red table in front of the stage. Take the magician's tools, i.e. a cylinder and a wand.

Return to the hall and go to the right (to the end). Now go through the door prior to columns on the right. You'll get to a hall, where a pyramid is levitating. You can't take it but you can do the job with a trick. Cover the pyramid with a cylinder and use a wand on it.

Take the cylinder - it appears that now a rabbit is levitating in the room, so a pyramid with four hieroglyphs is probably located on a table in the theater. Go there and take it. Now you should have seven hieroglyphs.

The last one is near by the Oracle of Shadow. Take a closer look at the emergency exit (in front of the oracle). There is a plaque with the last hieroglyph. Use a dagger and take the plaque. Finally give Oracle all 5 items with 8 hieroglyphs.

 

Pass the exam on the Egyptian syntax

Now Dan has to pass and exam on the Egyptian syntax. You'll receive 5 questions and each time you'll have to indicate the correct answer. A way to find it is as follows (and it doesn't have much in common with questions): you have to choose a word or a phrase, which describes a hieroglyph being on the same place as its description. So, if the third hieroglyph from the left depicts a duck and there is a word "duck" as a third choice from the top in the set of answers, that is a correct answer.

This puzzle is random, so it is not possible to give one solution. However, following the above explanation, you should easily cope with this task.

Get the decorative collar Krom-Ha

Successfully passing the exam in the Oracle of Shadow effects in receiving a key to the chamber where the Book of Dead is stored. The key is the live scarab but the Oracle of Shadow doesn't want to tell you, where the chamber is. Dan has to find it out by himself.

Leave the Oracle room and being in the hall take a closer look at the fountain without water. You'll notice thousands of beetles there. Put your scarab to the fountain. He'll go to the one of holes on the right and all beetles will follow him. It turns out that there are stairs leading to the chamber with a Book of Dead under beetles.

Dan will take the Book, but he won't be able to open it. Use a pyramid on it (in the equipment) to open an unusual lock. When you find yourself back in the bedroom, choose any three of the five sets of hieroglyphics, which Dan will describe to the priestess. This way, he will get her decorative collar and free poor Albert.
