Abbey sequence
Meanings, devices and actions are described in original prose rather than reproducing glyph images.
| Place / target | Action | Check / caution |
|---|---|---|
| Six sluice gates | From left: open, open, closed, open, closed, open | Make the waterway passable. |
| Card game | Learn the order: human → Devotee → Warrior → God | The church entrance panel uses the same hierarchy. |
| Child’s hide-and-seek | Plaza pot → pillar left of the fountain → between the door and pot below the stairs | After following, throw a stone at the bell to distract. |
| Shelf and key | Left shelf in the room with the child | Use the key on the nearby door to enter the Abbey. |
| Cart panel | Move the ladder cart all the way right | Take the coin from the bird’s nest. |
| Beggar → garden | Give the coin, then find the tall-necked striped pot | Use its key to open the upper shed. |
| Shed | Collect the note on the desk and the lens | Take the lens to the church. |
Four church panels and the cemetery
Meanings, devices and actions are described in original prose rather than reproducing glyph images.
| Place / target | Action | Check / caution |
|---|---|---|
| Church | Join the procession; after passing the guard, go to the side device | Use the lens in the middle of all four panels and turn the indicated face forward. |
| Southwest cemetery statue | Point the instrument toward the central eye | Do not judge only by the sword or key’s direction. |
| Northwest cemetery Preacher | Face the human to the northeast | Align the figures’ lines of sight. |
| Northeast cemetery human | Face the Devotee to the southeast | Not the central eye. |
| Southeast cemetery Devotee | Face the central eye | Also examine the text that moved in the center. |
| Underground | Use the lens on the mound of branches to obtain a torch | Carry it into the dark maze. |
| Stop the underground water | From the entrance: east, north, north, west, north, east | Operate the lever and return to the stairs that were flooded. |
The bell and the Preacher’s remains
Ringing the Abbey bell three times and finding the Preacher’s remains underground are separate actions. Reaching the water lever alone does not complete those detours.
