Overview
a guide, may not be simplified, but works, covers all routes
the entire thing
Start in the dwelling, find key and use it on special chest, go jungle for hedjet, or volcana for crown. black market (jungle) will have the udjat eye blink when you’re near, vlads castle (volcana)go to the top and kill vlad with van horsing or other methods and collect crown ( dont forget like i did once) find the moon challenge (both areas) and get the bow, go to olmec bomb into the right corner to destroy the jungle/push tile and put the bow with waddler, fight olmecs three phases, go in the back layer for the ankh. leave to tidepool or temple. in tidepool, get excalibur on 4-2 and get the idol in 4-3, you find a weird pool with a back layer and go down, if you ask. go into the newly found door (not the normal exit) and kill kingu, get tablet, leave. temple, get Anubis’s scepter and go to 4-2 and find the gold door. go inside and go to the kali altar, sacrifice yourself (with ankh) and go to the top and kill osiris, get tablet, exit through portal. go to the ice caves, theres nothing to do. go to neo babylon and go 6-2 and find the ushabti from the description from the tablet (journal entry 20) and go 6-3. qiulin will hatch. go to tiamats throne and go UP in the middle. go to the top, go back layer and go in the ship. now in the sunken city get the bow back from waddler (back entrance on ground, not in the wall randomly at a height) do the sun challenge, get arrow of light in bow, continue till 7 – 4, kill hundun, then shoot the eye with your bow, and you’re there.
