Adventure at the Chateau d'Or Hints

What am I supposed to do with this black globe?

  • 1 of 14: If the door to the Black Globe Room is locked, leave for now, and return later.
  • 2 of 14: First of all, you won't be able to solve this puzzle without some other information located elsewhere.
  • 3 of 14: You'll need to visit the dungeon first.
  • 4 of 14: You need to arrange certain items in a certain order, along the edge in front of the black globe.
  • 5 of 14: The items you'll need are hinted at in the paper you should have discovered in the dungeon.
  • 6 of 14: Read through to the end of that paper, and make note of the symbols you find there.
  • 7 of 14: The order of the symbols is Moon, Sun, Swirling Ribbon, Fancy "M".
  • 8 of 14: Can you think of a way to link those symbols with objects in your inventory?
  • 9 of 14: Think back to the symbols you saw in the magic mirror.
  • 10 of 14: Each symbol was pictured over a diagram of one of the "Sensory Focal Devices".
  • 11 of 14: You'll need to use the four Sensory Focal Devices: the Crown, the Chalice, the Flute, and the Spray Can.
  • 12 of 14: Using the order from the note in the Dungeon, match each symbol to the diagrams from the Magic Mirror.
  • 13 of 14: The Flute matches the Swirling Ribbon; the Chalice matches the Moon; the Spray Can matches the Fancy "M"; and the Crown matches the Sun.
  • 14 of 14: The correct order, from left to right, is: Chalice, Crown, Flute, and Spray Can.  (Move the objects by using standard click and drag -- place them by letting go of the mouse button when the hand symbol is over one of the holes.)  If you've placed the all the objects correctly, you'll receive a message from the princess -- and end the game.
