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

What is the solution to the Gemini/Cancer riddle?

  • 1 of 11: The Gemini and Cancer stanzas are part of the same riddle, in case you didn't notice by the highlighting in Le Serpent Rouge.
  • 2 of 11: In this riddle, the capitalized words aren't all that important per se, but pay attention to the imagery.
  • 3 of 11: Knights are part of that imagery.
  • 4 of 11: So are 64 stones and alternating white and black tiles.
  • 5 of 11: Does that remind you of anything?
  • 6 of 11: How about a chessboard?
  • 7 of 11: A chessboard is basically an 8x8 grid.
  • 8 of 11: So draw one onto the map.
  • 9 of 11: The riddle also talks about giving structure to the Lady's protector.
  • 10 of 11: That would be the square you've drawn around the circle.
  • 11 of 11: Select "Draw Grid" from SIDNEY's menu and fill a shape with an 8x8 grid.  The game automatically picks the square as that shape, and the time block will then end.
