Which lever do I use in the room with lots of them?
  • 1 of 6: There's only one that will act as a timer.
  • 2 of 6: It's the ninth one from the left (as you face them).
  • 3 of 6: You'll be able to see a red glow around it if your Perception is high enough.
  • 4 of 6: Also, you could look across the room at the mirror to see which lever is the real one.
  • 5 of 6: Hit it and run through the door quickly; this is a very short timer.
  • 6 of 6: NOTE: Hitting a false timer lever won't count as setting off a trap, but opening the door without hitting the right lever will set off the axe trap. (Listen for the ticking sound that only the correct lever will make.)
