Black Mirror III Hints
How can I solve the underwater puzzle?
1 of 14: Notice that each of the four stone circles has a piece of stone above it with a symbol carved on it.
2 of 14: That must be the guideline as to which of the eight pieces on the circle needs to be pressed down.
3 of 14: For clues on which symbols go together, exit the puzzle screen and check around the sewer area.
4 of 14: There are four stone columns with symbol pairs on them. Examine each one, and note down the two symbols that Adrian sees.
5 of 14: Making a list of them, you'll get:
* house and jar * pitchfork and flower * bird and head * fish and hand
6 of 14: Reenter the cage and pull the rope to get the puzzle screen back, then notice that the symbol shown above the first stone circle looks like a house.
7 of 14: Checking your list, you'll see that the jar symbol goes with the house symbol.
8 of 14: Looking the stone circle's eight press-able pieces over, you'll see that the top middle one has a symbol on it that looks like a jar.
9 of 14: None of the other symbols on the circle are jar-like, so that must be the right one. Click on it to press it down.
10 of 14: Use the arrow on the right side of the screen to rotate your view, then notice that the next puzzle screen has a trident symbol on top of its stone circle.
11 of 14: That's probably what Adrian called a pitchfork, so check its press-able pieces for a flower symbol.
12 of 14: After you get it pressed, rotate right again to get to a puzzle screen with a scratched-out symbol over a stone circle.
13 of 14: If you rotate right one more time, you'll get the stone circle with the fish over it, so the scratched-out symbol must be the bird symbol.
14 of 14: Press down the head symbol on the stone circle that's under the scratched-out symbol, and press down the hand symbol on the stone circle that's under the fish symbol. When you get it done right, the cage will lower you into the catacombs.
