The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings Hints
How can I figure out what order to light the candles in?
1 of 8: For a clue, return to the graveyard and examine the four graves again.
2 of 8: Notice that each one has three symbols carved on it.
3 of 8: All of the symbols look like the letter V oriented different ways -- including one that uses two V's to make a diamond shape.
4 of 8: Examine the candles' three pedestals to see that they have some V-like shapes on them, too.
5 of 8: The central pedestal has an upside-down V shape on it, the left pedestal (as you face the central one) has a V shape on it, and the right pedestal has a two-V diamond shape on it.
6 of 8: Looking through the gravestones' symbol sets, you'll realize that three of them use those three symbols.
7 of 8: The grave marked "Malget" is a bit removed from the other three, so maybe it's the special one.
8 of 8: Light the candle on the pedestal with the V shape (the left one) first, then light the candle on the pedestal with the diamond shape (the right one), then light the candle on the pedestal with the upside-down V shape (the central one).
