Echo: Secrets of the Lost Cavern Hints

How do I determine which fresco needs to be restored?

  • 1 of 5: Perhaps Arok can compare the diagrams on the tablets to the paintings on the walls to find which ones match.  Notice that the tablets can be turned over, as well as picked up.
  • 2 of 5: Make sure the tablet with the hole is resting such that the hole is to the left side of the tablet.
  • 3 of 5: Pick up the tablet with the hole.  While holding this tablet, you should be able to turn left and right, and move up and down, as you look around the room.  Note that you cannot walk around holding the tablet -- you'll need to look around the room from here.
  • 4 of 5: You will need to continue doing this until the tablet passes over the painting of the stag, such that some of the stag painting will show through the hole in the tablet.  You'll know you've found the correct painting when Arok comments that the stag appears.  The painting that the tablet is over when Arok comments is the painting that Arok will need to restore.
  • 5 of 5: To identify which is the correct painting -- stand in the location of the tablets, and turn to the entrance where you walked into this cave.  Turn a bit more to the right.  You will see a skull, with a fur draped underneath.  The painting is to the right of this skull-and-fur contraption (there is another skull-and-fur thingy to the right of the painting, as well).
