Palace Puzzle

This one is simple: There’s one paid room near the start and two paid rooms on the second floor. (Note that one of the two most expensive paid doors with puzzles is locked behind a 2’500 gold door.) These puzzles are fairly simple: there’s a massive orb above a switch with 3 latches; 2 long ones and a short one. In the room, there are 2 monoliths and a lion head insignia. You need to line the small latch with the lion insignia and the long ones with the monoliths, causing the orb to fall from the ceiling and onto the switch. I’m still looking for the 10’000 gold Door with the prize for it though.

Void Puzzle

This one is a little tricky. You have only 4 rooms in a circular arena that can help you fight the onslaught of undead, plus it’s easy to get cornered in this map if you’re in one of the paid rooms. Each room has a lever that flips through a list of different symbols: Vase, Bull, Pharaoh statue, Herb, Cat, Pharaoh, Soul and Khopesh (Egyptian sword) in that order. The first and only step of the puzzle is to look around the paid rooms and see which symbols match what is unique in the room. See below:

When you’ve set up the four levers correctly, the door to the pyramid will open and you will get to see what’s inside.

Congratulations, you solved the first puzzle on Void. You can buy the shotgun and call it quits here, but why not do a little extra homework for more goodies? Behind the shotgun are 4 altars with symbols arranged in a square. To summarise the altars below:
– Top left symbol = Bull room, to the right of the pyramid
– Top right symbol = Herb room, to the left of the pyramid
– Bottom left symbol = Khopesh room, the room below the pyramid
– Bottom right symbol = Pharaoh room, the farthest room from the pyramid
