  • Use torches when exploring underground areas/tombs,
  • Travel with vehicles or animals, or swim (mind animals like crocs though). Watch out for dangerous animals or thieves that could hurt you, steal your loot.
  • Use your research from your notebook to discover clues where to dig (relics/treasures might not always be in the place you expect! Won't be easy to find them), e.g. decipher hieroglyphs, or try to match possible locations from sketches/maps.
  • Scavenge food and water to survive, sell or buy food with money you make.
  • Visit shops to buy/sell food/treasures in other towns, or go to the museum to display your treasures found (bear in mind these may not be located close by, meaning travelling and discovering).

Be brave, go out at night or get some sleep in your tent.
Meet other local people in game, chat to them for clues, locate a radio station to send messages via radio/telegraph to your home about new discoveries made. Be careful with digging, you might break the fragile relics. As you dig if you discover something of interest you can zoom in and dig close up and carefully not to risk breaking the relic. If walking is too far then use other forms of transport available to go to other areas faster, such as cars, horses or camels.
