By talking to the man who mentioned his wife, you'll be able to take his boat to Scaraba for $20 per person. Make sure you have enough money so you can get on.

Once you get on the boat, you'll eventually run into the Kraken, and you'll have to fight it.

Be ready to throw powerful spells and Big Bottle Rockets at the Kraken, and keep freezing it with powerful Freeze spells. If you can do that, it will go down quickly.

You'll eventually dock in Scaraba.

The hospital is just southwest of the boat. The hotel only has the super deluxe suite available, and it will see you back $400.

There is a bazaar where you can buy stuff near the exit. Get the Crystal Charm for Paula if she needs it, and be sure to get the Piggy Nose for later on. You'll need it later. As for the Broken Cannon, it will become the Spectrum Beam if Jeff fixes it.

The Snake Bag acts much like the Snake itself, but you can use it as many times as you want.

The Vial of Serum cures Poison.

You can also buy Sudden Guts Pills in Hassan's Shop near the bazaar outside. 

Be careful outside, as it is possible to get Sunstroke here.

To the east of Hassan's shop are some black dots. If you interact near here, you'll find Pokey's stench, and the man nearby will tell you that he pooped nearby.

Once you head south of the town, you'll find the hint guy nearby. You'll also fight some Great Crested Bookas, and they can do quite a bit of damage. There will also be a man selling Bottled Water DX near the Sphynx. As for the Sphynx, refer to the note you got at the Scaraba museum to see which panels you need to step on in order to enter the pyramid. Once you open the pyramid, it's open for good, so you can call Escargo Express to get the note out of your inventory. And of course, the photographer will show up as you try to get in.

The Fierce Shattered Man is a more powerful Shattered Man. Once again, freeze him if you can to stop him from attacking.

Some of the hieroglyphs will move. The Guardian Hieroglyphs can cast Thunder Alpha as well as Flash Alpha and Thunder Beta. It can also give one party member a cold. The Lethal Asp Hieroglph can immobilize a party member briefly, but it cannot poison you.

The caskets here that don't move act as treasure boxes.

Aside from being powerful, the Petrified Royal Guard can also lower one party member's offense and defense.
