The Dig Hints

1 of 9: It uses another one of those series of four shapes.
2 of 9: You've seen those shapes before, haven't you?
3 of 9: Try entering some of the patterns that you've learned into the panel and see what happens.
4 of 9: It gives you a map to this planet.
5 of 9: Just enter the code from the rod that you used to unlock the door to any of the spires, and you can see a location in that spire.
6 of 9: Perhaps there's something special somewhere.
7 of 9: Enter the code to the tomb spire (red rod) to see what happens.
