Black Dahlia Hints
What runes should I enter on the columns?
1 of 8: Press F1 while looking at one of the columns up close. There are four columns. Enter four sets of runes on the columns in the proper order. Each column will accept only one specific set of runes.
2 of 8: The rune sets come from the crypts in the catacombs.
3 of 8: If Jim has not copied all four sets, go back and get the ones you missed.
4 of 8: The first rune in each set goes at the top.
5 of 8: Turn the cylinders until the one you want is directly underneath the "arrowhead" in a row going down the column.
6 of 8: When the correct rune sequences are entered correctly, the puzzle will exit automatically.
