The Omega Stone Hints
How can I figure out the correct formula?
1 of 51: There are written clues located in a few different places that can help you determine what the formula is. Note: This is a highly complex puzzle and will require much attention to detail to solve.
2 of 51: First, look around inside the tower.
3 of 51: More specifically, on the fifth floor.
4 of 51: Look there for an important scroll.
5 of 51: The scroll links six animals (the same animals found on each skull) with six different symbols.
6 of 51: Make careful note of the six symbols (and which animal is represented by which symbol).
7 of 51: Next, go to the very bottom floor of the tower.
12 of 51: As you flip through the books, look for the six symbols you saw on the scroll upstairs in the tower. Note: twice there will be seven symbols -- six known symbols, plus one extra.
13 of 51: Once you've determined which page contains the familiar symbols, make careful note of the pattern on the page, and which book the pattern came from. Note: If you prefer to use the camera to take a photo of each of the important pages, make sure you also keep track of which book each photo is associated with.
14 of 51: For example: Looking through the fish book for a page which contains the same symbols as the scroll in the tower would result in finding a pattern of three large circles and four small ones. Make note that of the pattern -- three large circles in a gently curving line, plus four small circles, in a line roughly parallel to the large circles. You'll also need to make careful note of the three symbols in the diagram, and which of the three large circles they are associated with.
15 of 51: You'll need to do the same for all six books, resulting in six different diagrams. Each diagram should be labeled for the animal whose book it came from; plus each should have from three to seven large circles, in a pattern of large and small circles. Each of the large circles in the diagrams should also have a symbol associated with it.
16 of 51: Only one circle from each diagram is important.
17 of 51: Study the six diagrams to see if you can figure out which of the large circles in each diagram might be more important than the others.
18 of 51: Note that each group of circles came from a book with an animal name...
19 of 51: ...and each circle in the group is also labeled with a symbol that can be translated into an animal name (by using the scroll in the tower).
20 of 51: To find the important circle in each group, find the circle labeled with the same animal as the book that it came from.
21 of 51: For example: The diagram from the fish book is the one with three large circles, and four small ones, in two parallel lines (one straight, and one gently curved). Using the symbols from the scroll in the tower, the three symbols associated with each of the three large circles can be translated into fish, snake, and pig. So, since the important circle in the diagram from the fish book is the one associated with the fish, we can now locate the important stone from this group. In this example, the important circle in this group is the one shown in the book on the far right.
22 of 51: Do the same with the other animals. From the diagram in the swan book, find which circle is the swan circle. From the horse book, find the horse circle, etc.
23 of 51: Do the six diagrams remind you of anything?
24 of 51: Have you thoroughly explored the various paths around the pond?
25 of 51: There are six places around the pond where various different groups of stones can be found.
26 of 51: The six diagrams from the books exactly match the six groups of stones located on various paths around the pond.
27 of 51: For example: The group of stones that matches the diagram in the fish book can be found by traveling up the path immediately to the right of the arch (as seen from inside the pond).
28 of 51: Now that you've identified all the important circles in each diagram, you can now use your diagrams to figure out which large stone in each group is important.
29 of 51: Next, you'll need to find out more about each of the six important stones you've picked out.
30 of 51: To do so, it is helpful to revisit each of the six groups of stones.
31 of 51: Find the important stone from each group. For example, using the diagram from the Fish book, we know that the important stone in the Fish group is the one immediately to the left of the path where you entered.
32 of 51: Study the important stone in each group, making note of any important details you can find.
33 of 51: Specifically, you should be looking for some horizontal (or nearly horizontal) lines on each stone. Make careful note of where the lines are located on each stone.
34 of 51: Your next step is to locate even more information about each important stone.
35 of 51: Once again, there is more information about the stones written out somewhere nearby.
36 of 51: Look in the bedroom at the top of the tower for an important book. If you have already placed the six skulls around the tree stump, the druid will lock himself in the tower bedroom, and won't come out. You may need to revert to a saved game in order to view the book inside the room. Once you've obtained the information you need from the book, you can reload your current game to continue.
37 of 51: Notice the diagrams in the book, located at the bottom left of each page?
38 of 51: The bottom left of each page shows a diagram of a stone, similar to the ones found outside.
39 of 51: Each diagram in the book has a pattern of lines on it, just like the stones outside.
40 of 51: Your job will be to look through the book to find the six diagrams that correctly match the six stones you've identified as important.
41 of 51: Once you've found the page with one of the matching stones, make note of what else is on the same page.
42 of 51: When you're done, you should have six sets of notes (one for each stone), consisting of an element symbol and two measurements.
43 of 51: The only thing left is to figure out how to transform the information from the book into something usable.
44 of 51: To do that, it is advisable to read an alchemy book.
45 of 51: The alchemy book tells us about different elements, and different measures.
46 of 51: Study the information about the different measures and equivalents -- it will help you determine how to measure the ingredients for the alchemy formula.
47 of 51: Make note of the various symbols and what measurement each symbol refers to. For example: The "P-I" stands for one pinch.
48 of 51: From that, we can extrapolate that if the formula said "P-3", then that would be the same as saying three pinches.
49 of 51: Now, you can go back to the list of symbols and measurements (taken from the book at the top of the tower), and write out each set of measurements into an easy-to-read list of measurements.
50 of 51: Now, what are the two measurements for -- listed one above the other?
51 of 51: It's simple, the formula simply requires that both measurements be used for each ingredient. You can either add the two measurements together (using the equivalents chart in the alchemy book), or keep track of both amounts for the formula, independently of each other.
