The Pandora Directive Hints

How do I solve Edsen's puzzle box?

  • 1 of 10: Take a look at it.
  • 2 of 10: There are some Mayan symbols on it, surrounded by a frame.
  • 3 of 10: But the frame seems to be uncompleted.
  • 4 of 10: Did you open Witt's puzzle box?
  • 5 of 10: You got some onyx pieces from it.
  • 6 of 10: Combine them with Edsen's puzzle box.
  • 7 of 10: "Game Player" mode players: you have a time limit here, so SAVE YOUR GAME first.
  • 8 of 10: It looks like you have to put the onyx pieces around the Mayan symbols in order to create a frame. 
  • 9 of 10: It's easy.  The same procedure as before works here.  You can rotate the pieces after picking them up by using the left and right arrow keys on your keyboard.  If you put them at the correct spot, they jump into place.
  • 10 of 10: Examine the pieces that are revealed by the open box.
