• Chapter 3: Answer to the first two conundrums

On the shelf with the various impressions, the order from left to right are: Bordeaux, Bourgogne, Touraine, Spain wine. This will reveal a slider puzzle which you must exit immediately. It is timed. The order to use is the order clicked from the direction of the empty space: up, left, left, down, down, right, up, up, left, down, right, right, down, left, up, left, down, right, up then click on the button in the middle and light the torch. Go through the door but only light one.

You will find yourself in a laboratory. Your torch will stay lit for a limited amount of time. However, if it dies out you can combine the second stick and rag in your inventory with gin and matches to make another torch. Immediately to your right as you enter the laboratory is a small pot on the ground against a cabinet. Use your hammer on the pot to find a key. Walk up to the desk to the right of the entrance. Take the key from the box. Move along the desk. Take the document lying to the middle of the desk. Also, take a look at the notebook next to the document. You can also examine the container of Laudanum. Turning around at the spot where you find the documents, you can find a study on reincarnation. After examining the study, walk around the table at the center of the room. When you get to the other side, you will be able to click on a location near the center of the table. It has the following note:

D = Clock Wise
S = Anti Clock Wise
At the same time or you will be dead.

Turn around and examine the cabinet with the broken glass. Take a look at the books inside the cabinet. Sherlock Holmes will comment that the books are about mysticism. After you examine the books, look for a location to your left on the ground where you can go forward. Click on this spot and you will be able to look underneath the table. Take the oil flask you will find underneath the table. Walk up to the desk at the far end of the table. There are four notes scattered on this table that will give you some insight into the investigation. You can also click on one of the two books to read some information about the curses cast upon those who would dare defile a pharaoh's tomb. The second book will have information about the primary elements and their symbolic representations. Once you are done reading through the notes and the books, click on the chair in front of the table. Sherlock Holmes will pick up the chair. Turn around and find the interactive spot on the left side of the table. Drop the chair here and climb on top of it. Sherlock Holmes will be able to reach the opening on the wall and take the key. Now that you have both of the keys, take another look at the desk where you found the notes and the books. There is a locked drawer. Click on the interactive spot to take a closer look. Put the key with a "G" inscribed on it into the slot to the right. Click on the key with a "C" inscribed on it into the slot to the left. Click on the arrow pointing clockwise on the right side. Click on the arrow pointing counter-clockwise on the left side. Finally, click on the turn button. Sherlock Holmes will open the drawer and find a statuette. Click on the document inside the drawer. Walk up to the door on the right side of the desk. You can find a pile of sand on the floor here. Click on it to add it to your inventory. Walk up to the door on the other side. Use your oil flask on the door. The key you found by crashing a pot will unlock this door. Go inside to a room with many artifacts and five small pillars. On the opposite side of the room from the entrance, take the oil lamp on the floor. Across from the wall where you find the oil lamp, you will find an oil flask. Remember, one of the notes found at a desk in the laboratory mentioned ancient symbols used to depict prime elements like fire and water. The document pointed out that:

Water was typically illustrated as a droplet or waves.

The ground was depicted as a tree or a triangle.
Fire was drawn as a flame.
Air was drawn as a whirlwind.
Put this information to use in order to solve the puzzle in the restoration room. Note the five small pillars scattered around the room. There is one in each corner and one at the center. The four pillars at the corners have symbols on them.
These symbols are your guide to solving the puzzle.

Walk up to the pillar with a red flame symbol. Use your matchbook on the opening at the top.
Go to the pillar with a water droplet symbol. Use your water jug on the opening at the top.
Go to the pillar with a whirlwind symbol. Place the empty bottle on the opening at the top. The idea is that the empty bottle contains air.

Walk up to the pillar with a triangle symbol. Use the sand in your inventory on the opening at the top.
Once you place the items to represent all four elements, a panel will open up next to the entrance. Click on this area to start another puzzle. The puzzle gives the hint:

Five fingers in one hand.
One is cut but still present.
The last will be the first.

The idea is to take the four stone circles and place them in the correct position. Once again, one of the articles from the laboratory provides the hint. At the desk along the right wall of the laboratory, there was an article about the Indian caste system. The document pointed out that:

Brahman is the highest caste
Ksatriya is the second caste.
Vaisya is the third caste.
Sudra is the fourth caste.

The information on the castes can be used to solve the puzzle. Just put the letters in the order of the castes starting with the lowest. The solution is:

Put the S in the first slot from the left.
Put the V in the second slot.
Put the K in the third slot.

The fire pillar will move aside and reveal an opening. The stone circle inscribed with the letter "B" will remain in Sherlock Holmes' inventory. Walk up to the opening on the ground. You will find a third Anubis statuette inside. You can now leave this storage room. The locked door on the right side of the desk inside the laboratory is now open. Go through the door into the new area. You should be in a room with four statues along the walls. The floor of the room will move every time Sherlock Holmes takes a step. Follow these instructions to get to the door on the other side:

Face the two statues on the far side of the room. Move forward once.
You will end up next to two of the statues. Click on both of them.
Face the statues on the far side again. Move forward once.
You will now be next to the wall with two chains. Turn around and face the wall on the opposite side. Move forward once.
You should now be next to the remaining two statues. Click on both of them. A panel will open next to the entrance. Ignore it for now.
Face the wall with two statues opposite from you. Move forward once.
Face the wall with the chains. Move forward once. You will arrive at the center of the room.
Face the statues next to the entrance door. Move forward once. You will finally get to the door on the opposite side of the entrance. Click on the inscription on the door to take a closer look. In order to answer the riddle, you need to go back to the room with the five pillars.
Move forward twice to return to the entrance of the room with the moving floor.
Before you leave, take a fourth Anubis statuette from the opening on the floor. Return to the pillar room. Sherlock is now able to put an object inside the center pillar. Use the stone with the "B" inscription on the opening at the top of the pillar. Go back to the room with the moving floor. Retrace your steps to get to the door on the opposite side. Turn right and walk up to the water tub and the two buckets. Click on the tub to start the puzzle. You have a five liter bucket and a three liter bucket. The goal is to fill the five liter bucket with four liters of water and put it on the rock to the left of the tub. You can use the following solution.

Fill your three liter bucket with water. Empty it into the five liter bucket.
Fill your three liter bucket with water again. Now transfer as much water as possible to the five liter bucket.
This will leave five liters of water in the large bucket and one liter of water in the small bucket.
Empty your five liter bucket by using the drain on the right.
Transfer the one liter of water from the three liter bucket to the five liter bucket.
Fill your three liter bucket from the tub one last time.
Transfer the three liters of water from the small bucket to the large bucket.
Now the large bucket has four liters of water. Put it on top of the rock to the right.
Turn around and look at the newly raised pedestal. Place your four Anubis statuettes around the corners. Save the game before placing the fourth statuette as the next section has a time limit. When you place the fourth statuette, an intermission sequence will begin.
