How To Play? (Puzzle Hints)
- The 7 deities are the first 7 runes on the manuscripts — Gaea, Prometheus, Anemoi, Poseidon, Zeus, Erebus, Apollo. These deities are representing one of the 7 elements respectively.
- The 7 elements are Earth, Fire, Wind, Water, Thunder, Darkness, Light
- try to decipher 7 combinations to activate 7 stone lanterns.
- Each rune should be used at most once.
- The manuscript is important! Example for the first sequence —
- The Earth: the element earth, and the deity Gaea
- Gave birth: (you give birth to a piece of what?) Do you consider this as the strength or weakness?
- Own will: When you have your own will, will you follow others instructions fully? What is the last slot left?
- You may Google it up if you are not familiar with the deities in Greek mythology.
*some information is intentionally missed out as part of the puzzle design

i did it!!!
Congratulations!!!
I could really use some feedback on how to activate the solar altar. I put four runes onto it and nothing happens. I decrypted the stones, but I don't understand how they help me to pass the first "test" (The earth gave birth...)
Hi, thanks for trying the game out. I think the puzzle is a bit too hard to decipher. I will try to include more hints on the game page.
Just a hint for you, life is considered the strength of the that element. Now from the sentence you need to figure out the weakness of it. You don't have to rely on the pillars if they are not related. The elements represent similar deities in the Greek mythology that we are familiar with.
Thank you for the hint. I will try that later this day :)
