Nine: The Last Resort Hints
The Music Symbols/Alphabet Letters
1 of 12: First, you need to align the Wheel of Fortune in order to learn which letters of the alphabet correspond to which music note symbols.
2 of 12: Once you know which letters correspond to which symbols, you can fill in your code-breaker (picture of the Lobby pipe organ keyboard with each key labeled with both a music symbol and a letter).
3 of 12: You already know the symbols of some of the keys from the music/notation sheets you played on the organ for the Tiki gods.
4 of 12: You also know at least one matching letter and symbol from the Wheel of Fortune Throne puzzle.
5 of 12: Since the Wheel of Fortune DOES go in order, you can fill in all the unlabeled keys by matching up keys and symbols you know, then filling in the blanks using the order of symbols/letters from the Wheel on the keyboard.
6 of 12: When you are done, you should have a drawing of a keyboard with each key labeled with both a music symbol and an alphabet letter.
7 of 12: VERY IMPORTANT: Have you noticed something that doesn't quite match up on your keyboard?
8 of 12: Something about the alphabet letters and the keys?
9 of 12: There are 26 letters in the English alphabet, but only 24 keys.
10 of 12: This means that two of the letters are missing!
11 of 12: Be sure to delete these two letters from your keyboard alphabet when you are filling in the blank keys. Refer back to the Wheel of Fortune in Aura's room to confirm which letters are missing.
12 of 12: Next, you must understand what each of the notation squares indicates.
