Step-By-Step Walkthrough
Let‘s dive right into each puzzle and challenge in the order you‘ll encounter them:
Retrieving the Baboon-Headed Lid
The first lid we need to track down is the Baboon-Headed Lid. Here‘s how we‘ll find it:
-
Pick up the tattered scroll lying next to the bronze weighing scales in the center of the room.
-
Interact with the scroll in your inventory to unfold it – inside you‘ll find an old iron key.
-
Use the key to unlock the stone chest tucked between two Egyptian sarcophagi against the rear wall.
-
Claim your treasure – the Baboon-Headed Lid is inside the chest!
Balancing Scales for the Jackal-Headed Lid
Now it‘s time to put those weighing scales to use! Solving this puzzle requires some experimentation:
-
Gather the 3 red stones beneath the hieroglyphic wall puzzle – these are what we need to weigh.
-
Grab the 3 matching blue stones next to the scales – we‘ll use these for balancing.
-
Place one red stone on the left scale plate.
-
Slowly add blue stones to the right plate until the scale is perfectly balanced.
-
Take note of how many blue stones it took – this reveals the red stone‘s weight.
-
Repeat the process for the remaining 2 red stones.
-
Input the weight values into the corresponding hieroglyphs on the wall:
-
6 for the Eagle
-
2 for the Zigzag
-
4 for the Snake
-
-
Pull the lever and claim your Jackal-Headed Lid prize!
Decoding the Beetle Hieroglyphic Puzzle
Cracking the code of this puzzle requires keen observation. Here are the steps:
-
Study the hieroglyphic sequences on the front of the two standing sarcophagi.
-
Replicate those precise sequences by clicking the matching symbols on the wall puzzle.
-
The coffin on the right will open if done correctly – retrieve the heart inside.
-
Make note of the Feather symbol inside the coffin for later.
This puzzle can take some trial and error to line up the hieroglyphs perfectly. Patience pays off!
Unlocking the Human-Headed Lid
We‘re over halfway there! Just a few more puzzles between us and escape.
-
Grab the crowbar on the floor and pry open the lids of both standing sarcophagi.
-
Inside the first is a Lion symbol, and a Beetle in the second.
-
Combine these symbols with the Feather from the last puzzle.
-
Click the corresponding hieroglyphs on the wall in this order: Lion, Feather, Beetle.
-
The Human-Headed Lid will appear – claim your prize!
Placing the Canopic Jars Correctly
For this challenge, you‘ll need both reading comprehension and observation skills.
-
Take the aged papyrus note held by the imposing statue. It describes the placement of canopic jars related to 4 human organs.
-
Grab the compass from the floor to know which way is North, South, East and West.
-
Place the jars according to the instructions:
-
Baboon lid (lungs) in North jar
-
Jackal lid (stomach) in East jar
-
Human lid (liver) in South jar
-
Falcon lid (intestines) in West jar
-
-
Correct placement will make a Feather materialize – grab it quickly!
This combination of reading clues while carefully orienting your direction makes for a fun spatial puzzle.
Escaping the Chamber of Dead
We‘re on the home stretch now, friend! Just a couple more steps:
-
Return to the imposing statue and place the heart in its right hand.

Put the Feather in its left hand.

The exit will rumble open, and we‘ll finally be free of this tomb!
