Gabriel Knight 3: Blood of the Sacred, Blood of the Damned Hints

What is the solution to the Pisces riddle?

  • 1 of 11: This riddle gives several capitalized names, all of whom are supposed to represent the same person.
  • 2 of 11: Do any of those names sound familiar to you?
  • 3 of 11: The local church is dedicated to Mary Magdalen.
  • 4 of 11: And the pamphlet in the church indicated that there were three other similar churches in the area, with their own Magdalen statues.
  • 5 of 11: The riddle also talks about a shape.
  • 6 of 11: It mentions a circle.
  • 7 of 11: You need to analyze something to load a circle into SIDNEY's database of shapes.
  • 8 of 11: Open parchment #2, which Gabriel found in the last time block in Lady Howard and Estelle's room, and analyze that.  When you choose the "view geometry" option, SIDNEY will find a circle.  Now you have the circle you need.
  • 9 of 11: Remember that you also need to draw individual points on the map before you can apply a shape successfully.
  • 10 of 11: Mark the locations of the four churches mentioned in the pamphlet: Rennes-le-Chateau, St. Just, Bugarach, and Coustaussa.
  • 11 of 11: Then, choose "add shape" and click on the circle on the map so that the circle turns black.  Move the cursor around, and you'll find that you can move and stretch the circle.  Position it so that it's touching the four points you selected, and you will have solved the riddle.
