Drowned God Hints

How do I solve it?

  • 1 of 11: First, it would be helpful to understand how the chambers work.
  • 2 of 11: Maybe even SEE how they work.
  • 3 of 11: Did you look in the microscope, back in the library?
  • 4 of 11: It's located over the same wall as the door out.  It actually shows the chambers in action.
  • 5 of 11: From that, you should be able to understand a few things:
  • 6 of 11: First, the chambers always do a full turn.  Therefore, it doesn't matter WHEN you go through a doorway.  But you already knew that.
  • 7 of 11: Second, there are lots of chambers.  We can deduce that the number shown in a chamber isn't unique.  But you already knew that.
  • 8 of 11: Third (that's the good part), the adjacent chambers rotate in opposite directions.  This implies that if you wanna keep going in a specific direction, you have to alternate between the left and the right!
  • 9 of 11: If you're still at the beginning of the puzzle (in a chamber 7), just go through the LEFT doorway, then the right, then the left, etc., until you reach the exit.
  • 10 of 11: What?  You went all by yourself and got lost somewhere without even saving your game?  Good news: here's a quick trick to get back on track...
  • 11 of 11: Say you're in a chamber N and don't know where to go.  You can be sure that one of the two doorways you're facing leads to a nearer chamber (N-1).  Just try a doorway, left or right, it doesn't matter.  If it fails (you end up in N+1), just turn around, go back in the previous chamber (N) and choose the SAME doorway you just chose.  It's a little strange, but it worked nicely for me.
