The Puzzle of the Rocks

  • 1 of 13: After solving the altar puzzle, you find yourself in an area at the back of the temple.  Looking downwards you will see a rock with a button embedded in it.  There is a strange white symbol painted on the button.
  • 2 of 13: By taking the path that leads off from here, you can explore the rest of the area. You must look for other rocks with similar paintings on them.
  • 3 of 13: You will find another 3 rocks with white symbols painted on embedded buttons.
  • 4 of 13: If you're having difficulty finding them, remember that rocks are on the ground.
  • 5 of 13: You will always have to look downwards to find the rocks.
  • 6 of 13: There is also a large rock (without a button) that has a painted white symbol.
  • 7 of 13: The large rock seems to be blocking a pathway -- so you must find a way to move it.
  • 8 of 13: The buttons on the other rocks serve a purpose.
  • 9 of 13: By pushing them in a particular sequence, the large rock will move.
  • 10 of 13: What do you notice about the white symbol on the large rock?
  • 11 of 13: It's the same as the symbol on one of the other rocks!  (The symbol on the large rock is randomly generated.)
  • 12 of 13: This is a clue to the sequence in which the buttons must be pushed.
  • 13 of 13: You start with the rock which has the same symbol. Then MOVE QUICKLY to each of the other rocks.  Note: I have tried this puzzle a number of times and it does not seem to matter in which order you do the other rocks -- as long as you start with the correct one.
