Keepsake Hints

How do I solve the puzzle in the North Tower?

  • 1 of 6: You won't be able to solve this puzzle when you first arrive in this section of the academy.  The puzzle is "locked" with a magical lock.  You will need to learn how to unlock it.
  • 2 of 6: Once you've spoken with the ghost and he's given Lydia the magic words to deactivate the lock, all you will need to do is click on the blue sphere with two golden rings and Lydia will take care of the rest.
  • 3 of 6: This four-by-four grid must be filled in with stars, planets, moons, and suns by clicking on the squares.  First click brings up a planet, the second click brings up a star, etc.
  • 4 of 6: Notice that when a line with four unique items is completed, two small lights, one on each end of the line, activate.
  • 5 of 6: In order to solve the puzzle, all the lights must be on.  That means that each row, column, and diagonal must be filled in with four unique items.
  • 6 of 6: The lines that are the most difficult to fill in without conflict are the diagonal ones.  Start with the diagonal lines first.
