Mystery of the Druids Hints
How can I get the staff?
1 of 11: A protective barrier surrounds the staff, just like what used to be around the key. And like before, solving the puzzles in the surrounding rooms will remove the barrier.
2 of 11: There are four rooms again. A Megalith and a Stone Pillar, each with a square indentation, are the only things inside each room. You need to insert the proper combination of tiles in each room to free the staff, but you are given absolutely no clues as to what to do or where.
3 of 11: While it doesn't matter which tiles you place first, it is crucial that you insert the proper tiles in the proper rooms.
4 of 11: Remember which symbol you saw on each of the kettles up stairs. Also recall which sound you heard in each corresponding window with the megalith.
5 of 11: Upstairs from the entrance into the area, the order of the elements (going around to Halligan's right and your left) was: Fire, Air, Water, and then Earth. They are in the same order down below, but you start with a different element.
6 of 11: Down here from your entrance, it is Earth, Fire, Air, and then Water -- although how you know this is beyond me.
7 of 11: Walk around the room to Halligan's right (your left) and visit each of the rooms. Earth is first.
8 of 11: Insert the Earth rune tile into the stone pillar. You heard wind howling outside the window in the Earth room upstairs, so insert an air tile in the megalith to go with the Earth symbol.
9 of 11: Move on to the room to the left. It would need the Fire symbols in both the stone pillar and megalith.
10 of 11: The next room to the left should have the Air rune tile inserted into the stone pillar. You heard a babbling brook outside that window, so use the water-symboled tile on the megalith here.
11 of 11: The last room is for Water. Use the water tile on the stone pillar, and the air rune symbol tile on the megalith.
