Episode 1 - How Bazaar

The 40 Thieves were making things miserable for the merchants selling things in the Grand Bazaar and it has been relocated closer to the palace.

1) To the left are some merchants. You could do business but you have nothing to trade yet. Farther left is the Sultan's palace, where you cannot enter but can eavesdrop on the guards from the window ledges above the door.

2) Leave the trading area, go right, and talk to the other merchant (wears a red fez). Continue right and cross the pond of the oasis. You climb through a deserted salt mining site, Dodge scorpions hidden in the sand, and enter the caves.

3) In the cave, head right, then down, left, and up the ladder - push the crates left or right to help you reach the ledges, and jump over the shifting sands. Find the red-turbaned skeleton and collect the bag of salt - you can take it back to the city to swap with the merchants.

4) Back at the trading areas, climb the first building and swap some salt to the woman with the blue veil. You get a variety of cloth. (Don't bother trying to get grain to swap for her lamp - it is a fake.)

5) Go farther left and climb to see the merchant with the blue and green turban. He will swap you a spyglass for the cloth. Take it top of the tower at the right side, where there is a tripod mount. You can use it to see the area of the deserted bazaar right of town.

6) Climb down and go to the dais (platform) in the old bazaar, where the merchant says things will be stolen. Leave some salt there and go back to your observation point. Look left and you see two black-garbed thieves throw a smoke bomb and grab the salt from the dais.

7) Go back to the dais and pick up the other smoke bombthat was dropped there. Equip it.

8) Go left to the palace, where the guards would ordinarily stop you from entering. Climb over them and when they are close together, use your spacebar to drop the smoke bomb. While they are in the smoke, jump down and enter the palace door.

9) Talk to the Sultan, whose valuables were taken by the thieves. He gives you his last crown jewel to use in finding his lost Magic Lamp.

10) At the trading area, go back to the spyglass merchant and trade him the jewel for an ivory camel. Go to the merchant with the real camel and swap for the camel and bridle. Put the bridle on and lead the camel back to the dais in the empty bazaar. Leave the camel there and go back to your observation point.

11) Look right, and a hooded figure comes in, throws a smoke bomb, and takes the camel. Watch as he goes to the oasis pond and says "Open Sesame." A stone camel head rises from the water and he and the camel go inside. It sinks back into the pond. This is the secret hideout of the 40 Thieves!

12) Go to the oasis, and wade into the water. Your character says "Open Sesame" and goes inside. You receive the Island Medallion for Episode 1 of Arabian Nights (episode 2 to follow).

NOTE: You can swap for several other items such as the grain (salt) and a pearl (crown jewel). You can leave grain instead of salt the first time and still get a smoke bomb. But if you leave anything but the real camel at the dais the next time, it is either rejected (too valuable) or grabbed by the same two thieves as the first time. And if you trade the ivory camel for the pearl, you can still get it back to trade for the real camel.
