Cydonia Hints
What is supposed to be done here?
1 of 7: Each of the five columns is the doorway to an initiation trial puzzle that must be solved.
2 of 7: The golden area on the face of each column is a lock which requires a special round key.
3 of 7: If you have the key in inventory, the markings on the lock will look very familiar to you.
4 of 7: Before it will unlock the mechanism, select the symbol representing the caste for the door you are working on.
5 of 7: In the center of the room notice the symbols for the five professions (castes) in the floor tiles.
6 of 7: The castes will help distinguish each area. Walk from one of the columns to the center and look at the inscription on the floor tile. After determining which caste you are working on, turn around and return to the corresponding lock.
7 of 7: Choose the Discus from inventory and then select the proper symbol for that caste before "using" the discus on the lock.
