Barrow Hill: Curse of the Ancient Circle Hints

How can I read the inscription on the big flat stone near the well?

  • 1 of 14: First, shed some light on the stone.
  • 2 of 14: Stand so that you're facing it, then click on the Lantern in inventory.
  • 3 of 14: Still can't read it, can you?
  • 4 of 14: Notice that it's still giving you the Use Inventory Item cursor.
  • 5 of 14: That means there must be some other inventory item you can use on the stone to help read it.
  • 6 of 14: And no, a magnifying glass isn't it.
  • 7 of 14: How do some people make cheap copies of raised stone lettering or shapes? (Besides taking photos of them.)
  • 8 of 14: They put a piece of paper against it and make a rubbing with a pencil, piece of charcoal, or whatever.
  • 9 of 14: You'll need some blank Paper to start with.
  • 10 of 14: Then you'll need something to do your rubbing with.
  • 11 of 14: Don't get fancy. Just use an ordinary, maybe even kid-oriented, item.
  • 12 of 14: You need the blue Wax Crayon.
  • 13 of 14: While facing the stone with the lantern on, click on first the paper in inventory, then the wax crayon.
  • 14 of 14: That'll get you a "legend rubbing," which you can click on to read and then put in your inventory.
