The goal of this room is to find four “moon keys” which is used to unlock the very large doors at the back of the area.

How to solve the Gargoyle's Gambit

The first Moon Key is easy to find, simply go to the alcove on the left where you will find three statements on the wall near a lock to the left of the statues. The lock has a series of symbols on it that correlate with the statements on the wall, and the puzzle requires you to decide whether the statements are “Mendacium” or “Veritas”or 'False' or 'True' (which you can find out using a translation paper on the bulletin board in the opposite corner of the area.

The solution is as follows:

• Mendacium, Mendacium, Veritas, Mendacium, Mendacium, Veritas

This will unlock a smaller recess that contains first Moon Key.

How to solve infernal alignment and key below

This puzzle requires you first pick up the shovelleaning against the right wall in the area near the bulletin board. The goal here is to follow the clue from the newspaper in the middle of the bulletin board – namely to dig up the buried things in the places where you can see three flames within the hanging glasses in the area.

The specific locations you need to dig are as follows (in both of these locations, looking up will reveal that you can see three blue flames through as if they were inside the hanging glasses):

• Just to the right of the bulletin boardabout a step away from the pillar in the corner of the wall. This will give you a Mechanical key.

• In it center of the doors of the castle, at the back of the fountain. This will give you a breast which you cannot open yet.

Examine the key and pull the lever on it to open it to a star, and then use this with the chest you just got to open it. When the compartment is slightly open, you can turn the key you just brought into the chest to find second Moon Key.

The wall on the right side of the area has two units to interact with which will affect how much the numbered bricks either stick out or sink into the wall, effectively associate the symbols of the units with certain numbers.

The chest on the floor to the right of this setup has three of these symbols in the center of the dials. Simply use the devices to find out what numbers are associated with these symbols, then interact with the chest's dials to set them to the corresponding numbers.

The solution for the chest is: II, IV, VI. This will open the chest and get you two new mechanical keyswhich you will use with the next puzzle.

The next step involves the two statues near the gate to the area. On pedestals under each statue are circles into which you can insert the mechanical keys you just got.

The solution here is to use the mechanical keys that allow you, when you twist them around after inserting them, creating an unbroken circle around the outside of the spokes of the dial.

• The Mechanical key with large half circle on it should be used with demon the statue's dial.

• The Mechanical key with the two spokes on it should be used with angel the statue's dial.

Completing this puzzle will get you a key and two figurines. Use the key to open the locked door on the left of the area to find the final puzzle in this section.

Here you simply need decode the riddle from the table inside the room. Figuring out which gates are associated with heaven or hell can easily be solved by looking at the gates in the particular room you are in and comparing them to the gates on the table.

To solve this puzzle, place the angel statuette in the third space from the left on the top row, and the demon statuette just below it. This will net you third moon key.

To enter the cart in the middle of the area, you must first go to the side of it opposite the locked door and rub the window to remove the dirt herewhich will reveal the setting of the icons used to break the lock.

For reference, the correct setting for the lock's moving components is as follows:

• The top row should be empty.

• The second row should have the lions facing outwards, with the tops of their heads facing each other.

• The third row should have the goats facing outwards, with the tops of their heads facing each other.

• The bottom row should face the lion forward.

Inside the cart, pick up the key and plunger.

Now go to the chest across from the small room that contained the figurine puzzle. Pick up sheet which sits on top of the chest and attach this to your screen. This paper contains a key to help you understand a symbolic code used by a pair of moving fires that you can see in the windows above the door to the castle by standing near the exit gates.

The encoded message is as follows: HELP. Use the knobs on this chest's lock to open it and find some items. The fence is the only thing you need here.

Now go to the chest at the back of the cart. Use the key from inside to open it and reveal that the inside contains three compartments in which to place specific items. Specifically, you need:

• The piston from inside the carriage.

• The stake you just got from the previous puzzle.

• The Hammerwhich is on the bench under the bulletin board in the area.

This will give you a mirror.

How to solve guiding reflection and echo of truth

This final puzzle requires you to use the mirror to find four symbols which is used with four movable panels around the fountain in the middle of the area.

These symbols can only be seen in bird's eye view, but accessing this is something of an odd mechanic. First, zoom in on the mirror you got in the previous section, then click on it to enter bird's eye view mode. Using this, you can walk around the area to find four glowing symbols that match the fountain's four corners.

Move the hatches on the moving panels to reveal the associated glowing symbols to summon a Latin-speaking spirit who will quiz you. You can use the book inside the bag on top of the fountain to translate the spirit's speech.

The answers you need to complete this puzzle are as follows (note that the questions are not always asked in this order):

If you answer correctly, you get it last Moon Key!

How to escape from the courtyard with the moon keys

The last step to this room is to insert the four moon keys into the slots you can find in the door of the castle.

When you insert a Moon Key into a container, it can move in a certain direction – when the correct Moon Key is used, the top of the key should face outwards; you should not be able to see the side of the key at all. Simply change the keys until you reach the correct configurationwhich will end the level!
