action

After Assil got rid of the ankh in “Heart of Osiris” and also got back together with Thara, nothing stands in the way of living together in their own home. But only a short time later, new adversity looms. First, the common house is on fire after a meteorite impact . After Assil and Thara managed to escape from the burning house, they discover that Assil is again wearing the ankh, a talisman in the shape of an ankh . You meet two old acquaintances, the seer Take Tut Cachem and the fire eater Vulkan, who are responsible for the repatriation of the speaking follower: The appearance of the camel constellation heralds the beginning of the "battle of the gods", which heralds the meteor shower heard. The Egyptian gods play the further rule over the country from among themselves. Since the evil Seth is the favorite, the Ankh (a god banished into the figure) should intervene in the fight and win. Assil is intended to be its bearer as the ankh has no arms and legs.

Supported by Thara and the three Israelites , Assil sets off to Luxor - in this game an ancient Las Vegas - cut and gambling paradise. A portal to the Hotel of the Gods is assumed here, where the fight is to take place. Assil and the Ankh finally arrive at the hotel after some quarrels and a detour to the Scandinavian ice cream. During the game, Assil not only finds out that Seth is using unfair means, but also that he is actually responsible for the banishment of a god into the Ankh. Said banishment goes back to an incident with Osiris .
