The Longest Journey Hints

How can I change the statues' settings?

  • 1 of 6: Notice that the base of each statue has two rings with markings.
  • 2 of 6: Those markings tell each statue what to listen to and what to talk to.
  • 3 of 6: There's also a keyhole between the rings.
  • 4 of 6: Find the key and put it in the keyhole.  You can then move the rings by turning the key.  Turn the key clockwise to move the bottom ring or counterclockwise to move the top ring.
  • 5 of 6: Set the lower ring to the statue you want that statue to listen to, and set the upper ring to the one you want that statue to talk to.
  • 6 of 6: If a statue is set to listen to itself, then you can talk to that statue.  Otherwise, you can't talk to it.
