The Black Mirror Hints
What do I need to put into the statues' bowls?
1 of 7: There's something near each statue that will give you a clue.
2 of 7: Above each statue is an inscription giving the name of the deity that it represents.
3 of 7: Once you've read all three inscriptions, ask around to see if anyone knows anything about them.
4 of 7: If you think about it, you don't want Eleanor or Louis to know of your aspirations of becoming a Tomb Raider (TM), so there's really only one choice.
5 of 7: Return to Richard's secret lab in the abandoned house and ask him about "signs."
6 of 7: He'll say that he can look up the information for you later, but he's busy right now.
7 of 7: To get him to tell you what you need, go wander off somewhere like the mansion or the chapel and then come back. (Before that will work, you need to have examined the stone tomb and its lock inside the chapel and talked to Richard at least once about the signs while he's still too busy. And you may need to leave Richard and return more than once, before he will have your answer for you.)
