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

How do I get off the spinning disk?

  • 1 of 10: Once you jump onto the disk, you can jump from tile to tile.
  • 2 of 10: Also notice the symbols located on 4 of the 24 tiles.
  • 3 of 10: And watch the pendulum with the blade carefully.
  • 4 of 10: The blade will reach the left side of the room (as you were facing when you first entered the room) every time a tile with a symbol is underneath the slot for the blade on that side of the room.
  • 5 of 10: The pendulum might be your ticket off the disk -- if you're careful not to get chopped in half by it.
  • 6 of 10: You may not notice it at first, but you get a special cursor when the blade is about to hit the wall.
  • 7 of 10: That cursor lets you grab the blade.
  • 8 of 10: You should only try to grab the blade from a safe distance, though.
  • 9 of 10: Stand one tile behind the one with the symbol, and wait for the blade to get close.
  • 10 of 10: You can then grab the pendulum and jump onto it if your timing is right.  If not, you'll die, but you can retry this puzzle until you get it right.
