Aura: Fate of the Ages Hints

How do I place the tuning forks around the pink plate?

  • 1 of 7: First of all, check the color of the handle of your tuning forks to be sure that the color of the handle matches the color around the plate.
  • 2 of 7: The placement pattern from the pipes under the pink mirror (from left to right) is: 4, 3, 2, 1 (longest pipe, third longest, second longest, shortest).
  • 3 of 7: The tuning-fork tones should be entered the same around the plate: 4, 3, 2, 1 (lowest tone, third lowest, second lowest, highest).
  • 4 of 7: Making note of the placement of the narrow and wide pattern around the circumference of the plate, we can see that the two tuning forks that are already placed are the first tone (top of plate) and the second tone (right side of plate).
  • 5 of 7: The two tuning forks remaining to be placed are the final two tones -- the second (second highest) and first (highest) tones.  By hitting the two tuning forks on the T-shaped bar in the middle of the table, it is possible to tell which of the two pink forks has a higher tone.
  • 6 of 7: Referring back to our order of placement, we know that the first tuning fork (the one with the higher tone) should be placed on the left side of the plate (this is the fork that you originally picked up from the table immediately in front of the pink plate).
  • 7 of 7: The second-tone tuning fork (the one with the slightly lower tone) should be placed at the bottom of the plate (this is the fork that you originally picked up from the separate area, further in front of the pink plate).
