Dracula 3: The Path of the Dragon Hints

How can I figure out which buttons to push?

  • 1 of 16: NOTE: This puzzle's reset mechanism is the gold bowl. Pick it up and then put it back in its slot to get all the buttons to pop out again.
  • 2 of 16: There's a clue engraved on the gold bowl.
  • 3 of 16: To read it, go to your documents page and click on the "Bowl" document, then point the cursor at the words you can see near the top of the bowl picture.
  • 4 of 16: The clue says that three engraved stelae will give the six numbers used on the puzzle's dial (meaning the circle of stone buttons).
  • 5 of 16: By "stelae," it refers to the three nearby headstone-like objects.
  • 6 of 16: Well, two nearby ones, anyway. One of them is missing.
  • 7 of 16: The missing one is being used as a bridge to cross the stream.
  • 8 of 16: The two stelae near the chapel mention Vlad I and Vlad III, so 1 and 3 are apparently important numbers.
  • 9 of 16: The bridge stele refers to Lord Mircea XIII, so 13 is also a relevant number.
  • 10 of 16: But that's not all. Notice that you can click the gear cursor on the bridge stele.
  • 11 of 16: Do so to find that Duke Alexander VIII is mentioned on its other side.
  • 12 of 16: So we have, in numerical order, the numbers 1, 3, 8, and 13. But we need six numbers, not just four!
  • 13 of 16: You'll need to figure out the two missing numbers using the four numbers you're given.
  • 14 of 16: Once you have the number sequence 1-2-3-5-8-13, translate that into Roman numerals.
  • 15 of 16: You'll get I-II-III-V-VIII-XIII, so press those buttons in any order to solve the puzzle.
  • 16 of 16: NOTE: The "I" button is one of the missing ones, so for it, press the revolver cartridge that's in the slot above the "II" button.
