The Elder Scrolls IV: Knights of the Nine Hints
What do I need to do in this room?
1 of 16: Notice that there are eight statues on pedestals arrayed around the sides of the room.
2 of 16: Each statue has a small stone chest next to it.
3 of 16: Also, there's a large stone chest up some steps in the center of the room, and a pressure plate on the floor near that chest.
4 of 16: Try taking the item that's in the chest and then standing on the pressure plate.
5 of 16: Look around at the statues, and you should notice that there's an item symbol floating near one of them.
6 of 16: That shows you what kind of item needs to go in that statue's chest.
7 of 16: However, it's never the same item as the one you just got from the large stone chest.
8 of 16: So note down which item is shown for which statue (maybe on a sketch map of the room), then put the item you got in any other statue's chest.
9 of 16: NOTE: An item is always in the misc. section of your inventory no matter what type it is.
10 of 16: If you guess right, the statue will turn to face you. If you guess wrong, the item will simply disappear from its chest.
11 of 16: In either case, go back to the big stone chest and grab another item and stand on the pressure plate for another clue.
12 of 16: Keep that up until you get everything placed in the right chests.
13 of 16: Exact answer coming up.
14 of 16: Along the west wall starting at the northern-most statue, they get the gem, the skull, the hammer, and the book.
15 of 16: Along the east wall starting at the northern-most statue, they get the stone, the helm, the goblet, and the sword.
16 of 16: Once all eight items are in the right chests, the stone wall at the top of the stairs past the large stone chest will rise up.
