  • Take the LAMP FRAGMENT instead that’s sitting on the pole the left.

Gate Puzzle

  • The object of the puzzle is to slide the symbols to the position with a matching image.
  • It’s actually fairly simple if you note that there’s only four symbols that can’t be moved towards the center.
  • Given that the center has to be the axis of the solution, the key is to use it constantly to hold pieces while you slide others around the edges to get them where they need to be.
  • You’ll find the easiest method is to work in triangles, starting from the left, and you should have it done in a dozen moves or so – this is nowhere near as complex as the chess puzzle earlier.
  • Note that rhe symbols illuminate when the disks are in the correct position.
  • Once done the gate will unlock and swing open invitingly – do you dare enter!?
