Redguard Hints
What is the secret to the weight puzzle?
1 of 15: This hallway will be safe (and the door at the end will open) when all 3 star panels are in the down position -- at the same time.
2 of 15: Weights are sitting on the floor in the preceding room, but there are only 3 -- one for each star panel here.
3 of 15: Drop each of the weights on the first three panels. Decide which one to pick up to move to the fourth panel, the fifth panel and so on.
4 of 15: Do not worry if you must use the weight from one of the other star panels to get further forward.
5 of 15: The first star panel will be the last one weighted.
6 of 15: To make this easier, number the floor plates beginning with the one closest to you 1 through 6. Floor panels with the star design are numbered 2, 3 and 6.
7 of 15: Step on 1; drop a weight. Step on 2; drop a weight. Step on 3; drop a weight.
8 of 15: You have run out of weights. Pick up one of the weights you dropped before. Be careful which one you choose.
9 of 15: Drop that weight on 4 and do the same thing again for 5 and 6.
10 of 15: The complete solution is in the next hints and begins after you have dropped the 3 weights on the first 3 floor plates.
11 of 15: Turn around and pick up the weight from 2. Go to 4 and drop that weight.
12 of 15: Pick up the weight from 1. Drop it on 5.
13 of 15: Your weights are now on panels 3, 4 and 5. Pick up the weight from 4 and put it on 6.
14 of 15: Go back and pick up 5 and put it on 2. (The door should open the moment you step upon panel 2.)
