Mystery of the Druids Hints

What should I do in the rooms around the key pillar?

  • 1 of 11: These rooms are pretty dark.  Also there is an important sound clue in them. To see and hear better, access the Main Menu (ESCape keyboard key) and adjust the Game Settings.  Set the Gamma all the way to the right to brighten up the screen.  Increase the FX Volume and reduce the Music Volume.
  • 2 of 11: Each of the four rooms has a round object in the middle with an elemental rune embossed upon it.  Three have what looks like a kettle oven and one has a cage.  All of which need to be used with objects in your inventory.
  • 3 of 11: When you zoom in for a closer look at the globe-like objects, there is another item you can view closer -- a window.  Look for the cross-shaped slats of the window and zoom in there.  Listen to the sounds coming from the megalith outside the window.  These sounds will be important for solving later puzzles.
  • 4 of 11: To save you from backtracking, let's do the room with the cage and Fire Symbol on its front.  Notice you can look closer on the right side of the cage.
  • 5 of 11: The lock matches something else you have in inventory.
  • 6 of 11: Use the Amulet of Transformation on the lock, then open the cage.
  • 7 of 11: Start a fire with the straw.
  • 8 of 11: Use one of your flints on the straw.
  • 9 of 11: An unlit torch hangs in a holder on the pillar to the left of the cage.
  • 10 of 11: Pick up the torch and use it on the fire you started in the kettle.
  • 11 of 11: Look out the window.  Nothing can be heard from here.  So you are finished in this room and can move on to the others.  Click on the hints below for help with each of the other rooms.
