Redguard Hints

What should be done with the wheel and lever?

  • 1 of 12: The dial on the wheel has a strange pattern, as if something else could fit onto it.
  • 2 of 12: Three pieces fit onto the dial.
  • 3 of 12: To find 3 runes that fit, search the corridors that lead from the three locked doors.
  • 4 of 12: When in doubt, read the directions! 
  • 5 of 12: The complete instructions are etched into the opposite wall.
  • 6 of 12: The instructions include the order you should insert the runes as well as the direction each symbol should face.
  • 7 of 12: Ignore any symbols that do not appear either on your runes or the dial itself.
  • 8 of 12: The dial symbols head up a column.  Rune symbols are etched beneath the dial symbols.
  • 9 of 12: First find all three of your rune symbols on the wall, remembering there is a specific top and bottom for each.
  • 10 of 12: Only one dial symbol is shown with the runes turned the right way.
  • 11 of 12: Turn the dial so the long end points to the triangle design (at the 5 o'clock position).
  • 12 of 12: Insert all three runes in the correct order and pull the lever.
