Your first objective is to access Hakan’s prison cell. Explore the surrounding area and engage with two men who will assist in opening the door later. Keep an eye on your map to locate these characters and ensure every interaction is completed.

To distract the guards and clear the area near the prison cell, you’ll need to take two specific actions. First, talk to a man to stop the prayers nearby. Next, approach another individual on stage and instruct them to start playing music. The guards will now move away, creating an opportunity to access the cell.

It all began in the ’80s when I was just 7 years old. Starting with basic arcade games, I soon delved into titles like Loom and Monkey Island by Lucasarts. Throughout the years, as I indulged in more and more games, I consistently sought clear guides to swiftly navigate my gameplay. Now, it’s my turn to contribute back to the community.
