The Door & Ring Puzzle

The 6 Spiked Rings found on the different bodies are used as part of a puzzle to open a special door down in the Sewers. To reach this door from the original entry point into the Sewers, follow this path.

Right, Right, Up, Left, Up, Up, Right

You should now be standing in a short hallway with a heavy door at the end. Save your game again now. The first part of this puzzle does reset if you close it, but the second part of the puzzle does not. It's definitely better to be safe than sorry here. Read all of the instructions below, and consider consulting our Chapter 6 Video Walkthroughs.

I have numbered the rings 1-6 from left to right as shown in the screenshot. I have also labeled the ring sockets A through F, also shown in the screenshot. The rings all need to be turned either left or right before being inserted. After you click a ring it will be shown to the right of the ring sockets with a pair of arrows allowing you to turn it

The Rings are inserted like this.

Ring 1:Turn 1 time to the left, and insert it into Socket B.
Ring 2: Turn 3 times to the right and insert it into Socket D.
Ring 3: Turn 5 times to the left and insert into Socket A.
Ring 4: Turn 5 times to the right and insert into Socket C.
Ring 5: Turn 3 times to the right and insert into Socket F.
Ring 6: Turn 1 time to the right and insert into Socket E.

Or Picture it this way:

Ring 3
5x Left

Ring 2
3x Right

Ring 1
1x Left

Ring 6
1x Right

Ring 4
5x Right

Ring 5
3x Right

Once you have the rings in place, save your game. The next part of the puzzle will not reset. Here the objective is to move the key to the very top, and then slide it into the key slot to unlock the door. You can do this by clicking the rods in the following pattern:

C, H, L, L, I, C, E, F, F, J, I,
A, L, E, K, F, J, B, A, H, H,
I, I, K, E, B, C, F, J, E, A, H,
C, B, A

By this point the key should be in position, so just finish up by Clicking Z.
