Jewels of the Oracle II -- Gems of Darkness Hints

Layers

  • 1 of 8: This puzzle is a bit trickier to find than the others.
  • 2 of 8: If you entered the passageway to the left, you will find a lever that does nothing.  It is not part of the puzzle.
  • 3 of 8: Take the right-hand passage, and use the lever there.
  • 4 of 8: The puzzle is to place several overlapping pieces so that they result in a continuous picture.
  • 5 of 8: The picture is simple; the difficulty is in precisely manipulating the pieces so that they EXACTLY match each other.
  • 6 of 8: Watch lines at the edges of the pieces.
  • 7 of 8: Check "wear" in the paint and background of the pieces, and make sure it matches up.
  • 8 of 8: If you are SURE you have the pieces in the right place, but haven't received a gem, try moving them ever so slightly.  (This puzzle is VERY picky.)
