Opensesame

Open Sesame (aka Open sesame!) is a spell used by the Forty Thieves and other desert bandits to guard their treasures behind magical vaults. Sometimes it works by itself, or may require a Magic Staff.

The spell may also be used to try to open other closed objects with varying success.

Behind the scenes[]

Can be used on giant clam in KQ2 for an Easter egg. This saying has its origins in the story of Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves.
