<span class="justbold"> Pyramid Plunder:</span>
<br/>
The pyramid found South of the gate contains the Minigame <a href="/rs3/minigame/pyramid-plunder">Pyramid Plunder</a>. Access to the minigame varies, it can be accessed through any one of the four doors around the pyramid. However, which door will grant you access changes. Once you make it inside, you will encounter the <a href="/database/npc/guardian-mummy">Guardian mummy</a> who can explain the minigame, recharge your <a href="/database/item/pharaoh-s-sceptre">Pharaoh's sceptre</a>/<a href="/database/item/sceptre-of-the-gods">Sceptre of the gods</a>, and/or begin a round of the minigame.

After completion of <a href="/rs3/quest/phite-club">'Phite Club</a>, you will be able to travel back and forth between the 2 cities here. Prior to this, you can access Sophanem from the other side once you have accessed <a href="/rs3/city/menaphos">Menaphos</a> via <a href="/rs3/quest/jack-of-spades-the">The Jack of Spades</a>. However, you are NOT able to travel back to <a href="/rs3/city/menaphos">Menaphos</a> via this route.
