  • 1 of 5: Look in the corners of the room to find four small platforms.
  • 2 of 5: Each one has a pedestal with a handle on top, plus a large head carving with an animal shape in its mouth.
  • 3 of 5: Look near the closed gate for a book on a pedestal.
  • 4 of 5: Read the book to find three clues as to what order to use the four pedestals' handles in.
  • 5 of 5: Or ignore the book and figure out the sequence through trial and error. There's an easy way to tell whether or not you're using the right sequence.
