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

What is the solution to the Scorpio riddle?

  • 1 of 11: Scorpio talks about the divisions of the temple.
  • 2 of 11: You should already have the temple on your map -- it's that 2x8 rectangle centered around L'Ermitage.
  • 3 of 11: You probably looked up more information about the Temple of Solomon in SIDNEY during the previous time block.  If you did, SIDNEY e-mailed the floor plan to you at the start of this time block.  If not, look it up now and then pull up its floor plan.  (You cannot solve this riddle until Grace has looked at the e-mail, so do not skip this step, even if you think you know the answer.)
  • 4 of 11: Again, try to figure out how the proportions of the temple would look on the map.
  • 5 of 11: The temple has three rooms -- two squares at both ends and a rectangle in the center.
  • 6 of 11: Draw out those rooms by putting the corners of the various rooms on the map.
  • 7 of 11: You will need to put down eight points on the map, four at the corners of the temple (which you also drew earlier), and four more two squares northwest or southeast of those corners.  Analyze your results to have SIDNEY draw the rooms.
  • 8 of 11: Finally, the riddle mentions the "center of the most sacred place."
  • 9 of 11: One of the rooms is known as the Holy of Holies.
  • 10 of 11: That's the northern room.
  • 11 of 11: Draw the point in the very center of the northern room on the map, and you'll have finished this riddle.
