Dracula: The Last Sanctuary Hints
What are the instructions telling me, generally speaking?
1 of 15: First, please note that these hints only tell you the *general* idea of how to solve this puzzle, by working through the sample shown in the Carfax notebook. You will have to solve this puzzle several times, substituting in different numbers each time, based on where you are in the game.
2 of 15: 1) The picture shows a cylinder being inserted into a slot.
3 of 15: Put the cylinder that you found at Carfax into the slot on the control panel. The window with the six slots will change. The numbers 1-4 will each appear once in these windows, and two will be blank. (For example, the picture shows 24_1_3.)
4 of 15: 2) The picture shows you removing the cylinder. When you do, a blade or key will separate from the cylinder.
5 of 15: 3) You now must use the key on the book. You can combine these two in your inventory.
6 of 15: 4) In the example, the key is placed on a circle with an arrow pointing up and right (to the "northeast"). This gives you a string of numbers.
7 of 15: In particular, turn to the page in Dracula's notebook with similar symbols. There are 6 columns of numbers on the facing page. Then, put the tip of the key on the appropriate symbol (in the example, the circle and arrow), and the holes and grooves of the key will pick out certain numbers.
8 of 15: If only one number is visible through the teeth in any particular column, pick that one. If two are, use the number in the middle of the key.
9 of 15: So in the example in the book, the numbers 800633 are selected by the key.
10 of 15: Remember that the first step showed 6 windows -- just like there are 6 numbers here.
11 of 15: Use the numbers in those windows to pick 4 out of the 6 numbers from the key and put them in the proper order.
12 of 15: In other words, the "1" in the window was in the fourth position. The key had the number 6 in its fourth slot. Repeat for 2-4 to get the number 6830:
800633 24_1_3
13 of 15: Now, you can go into your inventory and get a close-up of the cylinder. Notice that there are four dials. Set those dials to match the number that came from the key -- 6830 in this *example*.
14 of 15: Again, that number is just what you get by solving this particular example. It isn't the solution to any real puzzle in the game. To get that answer, you either need to walk through the steps above for the numbers that are shown where you are in the game. Or if you'd rather skip all that work, just read below to learn the exact combination.
15 of 15: Finally, you're ready to combine the key and cylinder again and put the cylinder back in the lock. If you did everything correctly, you should open the door.
