Arx Fatalis Hints
How do I open the three gates in the room with the statue?
1 of 8: Inspect the statue, noticing that it is holding a bowl, almost as if expecting an offering.
2 of 8: In front of the statue is a name plate bearing the name "Achanta". Perhaps you've seen this name before.
3 of 8: In the Tomb of Nameless Heroes, you'll find a grave marked "Achanta the Vampire".
4 of 8: Have you tried opening the graves? All you need is a pickaxe.
5 of 8: Use a pickaxe on Achanta's grave. Inside, you will find a corpse bearing a sacrificial implement.
6 of 8: What sort of offering might you make to a vampire?
7 of 8: Achanta wants your blood. Use the implement (with the "use" key, not by double-clicking) on yourself to fill the bowl with blood. This will open the gates.
8 of 8: If you would prefer not to injure yourself, you can pour a bottle of blood from the Temple of Akbaa into the bowl.
