Before you start wandering into tombs, the best way to explore them is to doso while doing an adventure. Usually you'll find an adventure that willeventually lead you to a tomb. The people who gave you the adventure willlikely assist you by giving you keystones to open doors and giving you anextra reward for finishing a tomb. Almost every tomb in China and France andmost of the tombs in Egypt are all connected to an Adventure chain. So try andsit tight.
Now, before you go into a tomb, you need to be well prepared. You need to buysupplies. There will be a vendor in town who sells all sorts of useful campingequipment. You should never leave to go tomb raiding without a good supply ofdried foods, a few Shower in a Cans, and a tent. Without these things, you'llhave to leave a tomb to eat, sleep, and not gross yourself out.
Inside of tombs there are a few things that you will see often and should befamiliar with. Perhaps the most import are the special tiles. There are twospecial tiles. One will have feet on it which means you need to stand on itto activate it and there are tiles with gears on them which mean that you canstand on them but you should probably use a statue instead because the tileneeds to be held down. Always be on the look out for these because they willusually reveal important things like more tiles, stairs, and doors.
There are occassionally holes in the walls and floors. If you see just a singlehole then you can stick your hand in it and perhaps you'll hit a switch or findan important item. Keep an eye out because these can be hard to spot sometimes.
Sometimes you'll see multiple holes in a group on the wall or floor. This meansthat it's a trap. Traps can either be disarmed by tinkering with them, crossedwith bravery, or deactivated by using a switch or statue. Sometimes you won'tsee the traps and they'll just pop up as you walk over them. Sometimes youwon't see the trap but you'll see an oddly colored tile that you can inspect.
There will be certain parts of walls that are fake and can be pushed open.Sometimes these sections will be oddly colored and sometimes you won't be ableto see them unless you put your cursor over them and it changes. Sometimesyou open these by "inspecting" the wall and pushing it open and sometimes youopen them with switches and tiles.
Most statues can't be moved but one particular style of statue can be. You'llfind out really early what kind of statue can be moved. It doesn't mean thatevery statue of that type can be moved but most can be. These statues areusually used for activating tiles but if you push them over traps, they canalso disarm the traps as well. If you move your cursor around the edges of thestatue, you can change the angle that you approach the statue from and thuschange how you move it.
Keep an eye out for treasure. You'll see it all over the place, including bothin chests and on the floor. Check every where. In particular, keep your eyespeeled for Relics. These things are usually worth a decent amount of moneyand sometimes they are worth part of a set which is worth even more money.In some cases you'll even get parts to a whole and be able to build somethinglike a sarcophagus.
There are different types of Keystones which usually are used to open doorsbut on occassion open chests or disarm traps. Keep your eye open for these.
The last thing to watch out for are Mummies. These guys are really tough andeven with maxed out Martial Arts you might not defeat them. This guys willappear if you look in their coffins or are stealing treasure nearby. They willwander around until they attack you and then they will either die in the fightor beat you and then shamble off back to their coffin.
