Keepsake Hints

How can I unlock the puzzle on the door of the Sanctuary?

  • 1 of 12: According to ghost Nightingale, you will need four magical objects.  The four objects are received after solving puzzles in the various classrooms of the academy.
  • 2 of 12: Once the four objects are collected, Zak will need to be changed back into the form of a human.
  • 3 of 12: Zak and Lydia will need to return to the Sanctuary, by walking through the wall outside the secret library (accessible from the west tower walkway).
  • 4 of 12: Start walking up the stairs to the left.  Zak will take the four objects into a room at the top of the stairs.
  • 5 of 12: The objects will need to be place in the small alcoves -- but in a specific order.
  • 6 of 12: Read the poem above the four alcoves to determine the order.  "From the highest sky to the bottom of the sea, mankind manages to bend the elements to its will."
  • 7 of 12: Remember that the four magical objects are primarily soul dust, fire, meteor, and pearl.
  • 8 of 12: You'll need to match each of the magical objects to a portion of the poem to determine the correct placement order into the alcoves.
  • 9 of 12: For example, "highest sky" refers to the meteor.  Click on the open alcove on the far left to place the meteor.
  • 10 of 12: "Bottom of the sea refers to the pearl.  Click on the second alcove (from the left) to place the pearl.
  • 11 of 12: "Mankind" refers to the soul dust.  Click on the third alcove until you see the soul dust (if placed in the order shown above, it should take two clicks).
  • 12 of 12: And, finally, "elements" refers to the fire.  Click on the far right alcove to place the fire in the alcove.
