• Bring Essential Items: Carry 1-3 Bronze bars, a hammer, and 30-50 feathers with you. These items will be needed during the quest.
• Access to the Desert: Ensure you have a means of entering the desert. You can use the Shantay Pass, Desert Amulet 2, Teleport tablets or scrolls, Fairy rings, or the Pharaoh’s sceptre.

Fill Waterskins

Make sure your waterskins are full and ready to keep you hydrated during the journey. You can refill them by cutting cacti with a knife or slash weapon.

Follow Footprints

To find footprints, head south from the Shantay Pass. Look closely on the ground for marks left behind by someone’s footsteps. These footprints will guide you on your quest to find Ana. Follow the footprints to reach the Desert Mining Camp, where your adventure will continue. Stay observant and focused to track down the missing person.

Mining Camp

This camp is guarded by mercenaries, so be cautious and wear your slave outfit to blend in. Inside the camp, you will find important items and encounter challenges. Explore the camp carefully and interact with the characters to uncover the truth and find Ana.

Talk to the Mercenary Captain

When you are inside the Mining Camp, your next step is to talk to the Mercenary Captain. He is a key figure in your quest to find Ana. Engage in conversation with him and try to gain his trust. He might ask you to kill a bandit leader, but just tell him you can’t do it.

Then, say something funny, like a joke about a captain who can’t fight on his own. This will make him laugh and get distracted. While he’s distracted, quickly unlock his chest to get what you need without him noticing.

Remember, if you attack him without being prompted, his guards will attack you and cause you problems.

Defeat the Mercenary Captain:

To defeat the Mercenary Captain, you need to be prepared and careful. First, ensure you have unequipped all your metal armor and put on desert clothing to survive the heat of the desert. Then, engage in a conversation with the Mercenary Captain, but do not attempt to attack him until prompted in a text box.

When the text box asks if you are sure about attacking, proceed to fight and defeat him. Once you defeat him, take the metal key he drops. It’s essential not to attack him before the prompt, as his guards will swarm you, take your water, and deal significant damage to you. So, make sure to follow the prompt and defeat the captain to proceed with the quest.

Enter the Desert Mining Camp:

To enter the Desert Mining Camp, you need to ensure you are wearing only your desert clothing and have unequipped all slave robes. If you have defeated the Mercenary Captain as instructed earlier, you can enter the camp through the front gate using a metal key

Once inside the camp, make sure to keep wearing only your desert clothing and be cautious around the guards to avoid getting caught.

Trade Clothing with a Slave:

Enter the building to the north and search the table with a bowl of water to find a cell door key.

Now Go to the east wall and talk to the male slave. Help him remove his handcuffs, and exchange his slave robes for your desert clothing.

Enter the Mine:

Enter the mine and go all the way to the end and talk with the guard (select option 2 always).

The guard will ask you to get Pineapples for him after that you can exit the mine.

Go to Bedabin Camp

Al Shabim will ask to get the plans from the Mercenary Captain Siad.

Get the Weapon Plans:

Go back to the camp and enter the house on your left. Climb up the ladder to the captain’s location and search the southwest bookcase to learn about his interest in sailing.

Engage in conversation with the captain to distract him and unlock his chest to steal the weapon plans.

Return to Al Shabim

Return to al Shabim and show the weapon plans you stole from the Mercenary Captain

Shabim will ask you for helping them to create the weapon. Select I am interested.

Craft the Dart

To craft the dart tips use the nearby anvil. Head to the tent directly north of Al Shabim.

At the anvil, use bronze bars to create dart tips. Once you’ve made the dart tips, add feathers to them to create darts.

With the darts and weapon plans in hand, return to Al Shabim in the Bedabin Camp to complete the crafting process. Now you have successfully crafted the dart tips and darts, and you’re ready to use them in your adventures.

Return to the dessert mine camp.

Find Ana in the Mine

Equip your slave outfit and enter the Desert Mining Camp and give the Tenti pineapple to the guard who wanted it, and he will let you inside.

Walk further down into the mine until you reach a mine cart. Search the barrels nearby until you find one you can pick up.

Get into the mine cart by searching it, and ride it to the other side and continue down the northwest and then east path until you find Ana.

Use the barrel you picked up earlier on Ana to place her inside

Rescue Ana

After placing Ana in a barrel, ride the mine cart to the other side.

Retrieve the barrel containing Ana from the empty barrels and place it on the winch bucket in the southwest corner.

Don’t forget to compliment the nearby guard to avoid arousing suspicion.

leave the mine and go to the surface. Once you are in the open, go to the south west of the mine camp to find the winch operating system. Operate the winch to bring Ana up from the barrel.

A cut scene will play and Ana will be in the inside a barrel near the winch system.

Finally, place Ana in a barrel on the nearby wodden cart to complete the rescue. With Ana safely rescued, you can continue your quest to complete “The Tourist Trap.”
