The Tourist Trap/Quick guide

Getting started

 * Begin the quest by talking to Irena.
 * From the Shantay Pass, go south until you find some footprints and follow them until you reach some Mercenaries guarding the gate to the Desert Mining Camp.
 * Speak to one of the mercenaries and offer them five gold coins.
 * Search the gate and use the "watch" option on the Mercenary Captain to get the key to the gate, then talk to him.
 * Compliment him and agree to do him favours, when he asks you to kill Al Zaba Bhasim say that you do not think you can do that, and then insult him.

Note: Make sure to unequip any wielded weapons and armour and 'keep them off"''
 * This will start a fight and you must kill him.

Entering the mine
Warning: Once you have entered do not equip any weapons or armour, or you will be caught and thrown in jail.
 * Once you have entered the mining camp, go to white building to the north and search the table on the east wall.
 * Once inside, talk to one of the male slaves near the double doors that lead to the mine.
 * Remove his handcuffs and switch his slave robes for your desert robes.
 * While wearing the slave robes, go to the north-east area of the camp, where there are some large doors.
 * Open them and head down into the mine. Upon entering head north and follow the cave around until you come to a guarded cave entrance.
 * Attempt to walk through the mine cave. A guard will stop you. Turn around and talk to him. Select these options:
 * 1) "I'd like to mine in a different area."
 * 2) "Yes sir, you're quite right sir."
 * 3) "Yes sir, we understand each other perfectly."
 * Go to the Bedabin Camp to the west and talk to Al Shabim.
 * Agree to get his plans and he will give you a key.

The plans

 * Go back inside the main walls and enter the building just inside.
 * Climb up a ladder to where Captain Siad is sitting.
 * Search his bookcases.


 * Talk to him and select "I want to have a chat?". Mention that he has a lot of books, then direct it to sailing.
 * When he is distracted, open the chest to get the plans.


 * Go back to the Bedabin Camp and show Al Shabim the plans.
 * Enter the tent to the north and use your bronze bars with the anvil to create some prototype dart tips.
 * Then add the feathers to make a prototype dart.
 * Take this back to Al Shabim.

Finding Ana

 * Before re-entering the mining camp, take off any weapons and armour and put on the slave robes.
 * Head back down into the mine and give the pineapple to the guard who wanted it.
 * Walk further down into the mine until you find yourself in front of a mine cart.
 * Pick up a barrel from the platform that has the winch bucket.
 * Then right-click on the cart and use the "Search" option to ride it to the other side.
 * Once there, go down the north-western passageway containing a large number of slaves at the end and you will find Ana.

Warning: There are several talk options with Ana that will annoy the guards. For instance, if you talk about the key, or if you say that the guards are rubbish and you have slipped by them, you might get thrown into a locked off area of the mine. The guard will let you out if you mine 15 rocks for him. There is a bronze pickaxe in this area.

She will say that the only thing that goes out of the mine are the rocks. But when you suggest to hide Ana in a barrel to sneak her out of the mine, she will refuse.
 * Talk to Ana and ask her if she knows a way to escape out of the mine.
 * Ask her how they transport the rocks and you will discover that they use barrels for that.
 * Use the barrel in your inventory on Ana, to get Ana in a barrel, and head back to the mine cart.

Rescuing Ana

 * Put the barrel with Ana in it into the mine cart and send it down the track before getting in and riding down to the other side after her.
 * Search the barrels around the cart and retrieve the one that has Ana in it.
 * Walk to the winch bucket, put the barrel on it.
 * Make sure to compliment the guard in some way to avoid being caught.

Warning: Don't walk straight out of that area of the mine holding Ana in your barrel. A guard will compliment you on the heaviness of your barrel, and then he will kick your barrel open, revealing Ana and you will have to rescue her again.


 * Head back to the surface again and go to the winch bucket.
 * Operate it and then search the barrels adjacent to it.
 * Next "Search Cart" and follow the dialogue.
 * Tell the Mine cart driver the following phrases:
 * 1) "Nice cart."
 * 2) "One wagon wheel says to the other, 'I'll see you around'."
 * 3) "One good turn deserves another"
 * 4) "Fired... no, shot perhaps!"
 * 5) "In for a penny in for a pound."
 * 6) "Well, you see, it's like this..."
 * 7) "Prison riot in ten minutes, get your cart out of here!"
 * 8) "You can't leave me here, I'll get killed!"
 * Search the cart and select the "Yes" option.
 * Head back to Irena and she will tell you Ana made it home safely.


 * Congratulations, quest complete!
