25. Feed the potion to the coat of arms and then look at its chest to get a clue for the door in the tree room.

26. To solve this puzzle, you need to use the levers to rotate the symbols. When you find the four that match the clue (now in your journal), tap them so they start glowing. When you get it right, the door will open.

27. In this next room, you have a shield on the door that rotates. To each side is a knight holding a puzzle. You can rotate the middle shield to see how the symbols should look on each knight’s shield. Use the red and green buttons to move the tiles around the board. One button allows you to move them in and out, while the other allows you to move them around the board clockwise. This is the left one:

And this is the right one:

    In scene 4 how do I get the “K” symbol in 2 positions at once to open the door!?

    1. Amy

      You don’t need to have them showing at the same time. When you find the symbol you need you just click it to make it light up and then click the lever until you find the next matching symbol. I believe on the other side the 2 symbols don’t match up either so just make sure the symbols are facing the right way before clicking them. Otherwise it won’t work

      1. Janett

        Still didn’t work even after restarting the game. Do the symbols have to be clicked in a certain order?

      2. Sam

        Oh God Amy, thanks a ton for clarifying that. I was stuck on that portion for days.

        Janett – I clicked them upper left, lower left, upper right and lower right. Worked for Me.

          I am stuck in the same place and NOTHING is working. What do you mean by the symbols “glowing”? The symbols kind of “pulse” randomly even if I don’t touch them. They don’t change color. Do the symbols have to pulse? If they are pulsing and I haven’t touched them do I need to turn them off?

  2. Lauren

    Is there a walkthrough of how to make the symbols on the symbols at scene 5 move in the right order? I can’t figure out how to make the designs and these buttons are frustrating me…

  3. Dan

    This is the least intuitive puzzle game I’ve ever paid for, and even with a walkthrough some of these puzzles are getting skipped because they make no sense.

    Have been doing all but the story never ends properly and puzzles get more crazy as they go on. first game had no prompts or journal, this last did not have a working journal which was very annoying
