Arx Fatalis Hints
Where is the key for the chest in Iserbius' bedroom?
1 of 5: Inspect the room thoroughly, paying particular attention to the small details. If you look closely, you'll notice that something is missing.
2 of 5: On the altar here, you'll see two skulls. The skulls are part of the puzzle.
3 of 5: One of the skulls has a burning candle set in it, the other does not.
4 of 5: Place a candle on the skull (by double-clicking and "using" it), then inspect the room again.
5 of 5: You'll notice a secret a compartment has opened on the bedpost near the altar, revealing a key inside. Use the key to open the chest in this room.
