by using the hand cursor on it. Wire the door shut by wrapping the
section of wire you clipped from the fallen pterodactyl around the
doorknob. Immediately head for the Medieval Armor Room, shut the
door, and slide the board across the heavy wooden door. Now head to
the locked room. Move the nearby chair in front of the locked door.
Stand on the chair and open the transom above the door. Now duck
into the Egyptian room and hide inside the mummy case on the far
left-hand side. The murderer will be fooled and will break down the
door to the other room. Wait until the murderer goes into the Life
Mask exhibit room. When he leaves, go into the crate storage room
through the door he just smashed to pieces. Once inside the crate
room use the swinging arm near the door to move the crate in front
of the door. Now cut the rope using the Dagger of Amon Ra or the
wire cutters from Ernie's toolbox. After moving the right most
crate out of the way of the small closet door, you'll discover a
small ancient one-person elevator. Throw the lever and the elevator
will take you down and away from the murderer. When you get in the
mummy storage room, remove a mummy from one of the cases and prop
it against the door of the elevator to slow down the murderer. Use
the snake lasso on the snake figure on the locked mummy case on the
left wall. Exit through the mummy case into the Sun Worshipper
Ceremonial Room. You will be given a TEST while here. The answer to
the first riddle is "womb." The answer to the second riddle is
"tomb." Spell these words using the hieroglyph from your notepad.
Once both answer are given, the worshipper will send you behind the
altar into the furnace room, where you will find Steve Dorian in a
coal ben. Use the hand icon to wipe away the coal from Steve's
face. Use the smelling salts to revive Steve. When you revive
Steve, immediately give Steve his boot. Hidden behind the sun
symbol on the wall is a secret tunnel entrance. Use the hand cursor
on the stone. Steve will help you rotate the sun symbol out of the
way. Now you can safely exit the room. As soon as you enter the
secret tunnel, select the lantern and turn it on. Now you can see
your way. You will find a nest of cobras. Use the bottle of snake
oil from the preservation lab to repel the cobras. You then will
encounter a pack of rats. Throw the cheese you picked up from the
rat trap in Heimlich's office through either of the openings at the
top of the tunnel. The rats will go after the cheese and you'll be
rid of them. Go through the second opening at the top of the
tunnel. You will safely exit through the talking dinosaur's mouth
in the Tyrannosaurs Room. As soon as you exit through Rex's mouth,
quickly press the button to get him talking. Now he will capture
the murderer in his powerful jaws for you. This should end Act 5.
