Keepsake Hints

How do I solve the table puzzle in the Forge classroom?

  • 1 of 11: Clicking on one of the circles will cause some runes to appear.  Using a corner circle causes four runes in the corner to appear; using one along a wall will cause three runes along the wall plus the one in the center to appear; using the center rune causes five runes to appear -- the center one, plus one against each wall.
  • 2 of 11: The runes that appear are important, not just random characters.
  • 3 of 11: Have you seen similar runes before?
  • 4 of 11: If you have collected all the tapestries, you should have seen some of these runes on one of the tapestries located in the library.  Note: The final hint under the "What do I need to do in the library?" hints will help you find the tapestry with the runes.  Once you have looked at the tapestry with the runes, an image of the tapestry will be stored in your documents inventory.
  • 5 of 11: The rune tapestry shows four elements -- written in English and written with runes.  Only one of the elements is important for this puzzle.
  • 6 of 11: Since you are working in a forge, with puzzles related to fire -- it is the fire rune that is important to this puzzle.
  • 7 of 11: Each of the four runes for the word fire can be found on the table puzzle.
  • 8 of 11: The solution is *NOT* to have all the four "fire" runes exposed and the rest blank.
  • 9 of 11: The solution is to click on each of the fire runes, in the order they appear in the tapestry -- while the rune is face-up.
  • 10 of 11: You will need to click on one of the blank circles to turn some runes over, allowing you to get started.  Once you start clicking on the four fire runes, however, you will need to click on each one, in their correct order, without stopping to turn over more runes.
  • 11 of 11: Remember, it won't matter which runes are turned over and which are blank -- the point is to click on the correct runes.
