Aura: Fate of the Ages Hints

Inside: What do I do in the side room (the room with the stairs)?

  • 1 of 8: Be sure to examine the walls carefully, paying particular attention to the wall near the door where you entered the room.
  • 2 of 8: When you turn around and face the door you entered, you should see a small panel just to the left of the door.
  • 3 of 8: The panel has five buttons around the outside.  You'll need to use the five buttons to solve the puzzle.  Ignore the center of the panel.
  • 4 of 8: The five buttons all start in the "down" position.  Your goal is to get them all into the "up" position.
  • 5 of 8: Pressing each button moves three buttons at once.
  • 6 of 8: The pattern is the same for each button -- the button you pressed will move, plus two additional buttons, just ahead of the button pressed.
  • 7 of 8: Since the pattern is the same for all buttons, the solution is really quite simple.  Before beginning, make sure the panel is reset by moving away from it, then re-approaching it again.
  • 8 of 8: With the buttons all in the "down" position, press each button once.
