What are you stuck on?

How does the fountain work?

  1. 01

    Read the shapes as letters

    The flowing shapes are not random decorations. Read them as parts of letters rather than separate symbols.

  2. 02

    Combine the flows

  3. 03

    Seven-letter word

Common mistake

Trying to read the flowing parts one by one. Instead, combine the shapes and look for complete letters.

Fountain answer

This reveals the full seven-letter solution.

How does the fountain solution work?

The map from each letter position to the finished word stays hidden until you reveal the answer or solve it yourself.

Part 1 — Read the fountain

On the Fountain Symbol Wall, the flowing shapes are the clue. There are six symbol buttons for revealing and reading that wall. Watch how the flows combine into letter forms, then move right when you can read a seven-letter word.

Symbols → Letters → Word

Part 2 — Open the door

The Fountain Letter Door is a separate input. After you have the word, press it on the letter wall. Reading the fountain and opening the door are two steps in the walkthrough, but they are the same puzzle.

Fountain rooms

Read the symbols on one wall, then enter the word on the letter door to the right.

Fountain puzzle not working?

  1. 01

    Seven letters

    The final answer is seven letters long.

  2. 02

    Read combined shapes

    Don't treat each small line or flow as a separate symbol; look at the completed letter form.

  3. 03

    Use the full word

    Enter the complete word on the letter wall. The door checks a seven-letter sequence, not one letter at a time as the solution.

  4. 04

    Correct progression

    Make sure the statue sequence is complete before trying to finish the fountain section.

  5. 05

    Not the tribute puzzle

    The fountain opens the way to the final tribute section; they are separate puzzles.
