Secrets of the Ark: A Broken Sword Game Hints
What's the solution to the second statue's puzzle?
1 of 12: Notice that it also has four stones that you can rotate with four interactive Roman numerals, but these stones are different.
2 of 12: Search your manuscript for red and blue fleur-de-lis symbols.
3 of 12: You'll find several of them just to the left of the Latin text.
4 of 12: Matching them up to the current puzzle, you'll see that there are two puzzles' worth of patterns there.
5 of 12: So try the top pattern. It shows both red fleur-de-lis pointing up, the top blue one pointing down, and the bottom blue one pointing right.
6 of 12: However, that doesn't work.
7 of 12: But don't give up yet! Remember how that first statue's puzzle was?
8 of 12: After setting the solution shown on the manuscript page, you had to "adjust" it a bit.
9 of 12: So try setting the top pattern as mentioned above, then rotating each of the four stones once.
10 of 12: That didn't work, so rotate each stone once more.
11 of 12: That'll do it!
12 of 12: So the "combo" here is to have both reds pointing down, the top blue pointing up, and the bottom blue pointing left.
