Hi hansbleeb,

Stone Demon:

Hint:
SpoilerShow
Stone demon refers to the demon statues (faces) that can be found throughout the game.
Solution:
SpoilerShow
The one you are looking for is on the west side of Client Housing.

Tenebris Orbs Puzzle:

Hint:
SpoilerShow
There are only 4 orbs but 8 pedestals. Take a closer look at the orbs and see if you can find items that share certain qualities with them.
Solution:
SpoilerShow
Each orb has a different weight. There are 4 items that match these weights: Dragon Statue, Rope, Bolt Arquebus and the Everseeing.

Tomb Puzzle:
This one is probably the most difficult puzzle in the game. Its a hard one to hint at, but I can provide you with some advice and the solution:

Hint:
SpoilerShow
If you were not already aware of it, besides the 4 clues on the Caretaker's Note there is an additional clue on the Torn Letter (found in the Laboratory). This clue is actually the key clue you need to solve the puzzle. You will notice that in each tomb there is a pedestal and a wall hook. This means that each tomb gets only 1 item and 1 shield. Knowing this, and using the clue from the Torn Letter as a starting point, you can then go through the remaining 4 clues and start to omit certain possibilities, then the puzzle will begin to unravel. I would encourage you to give this puzzle one more go before checking the solution !
Solution:
SpoilerShow
Nynia - Emerald - Dragon Shield
Cynbel - Sword - Lion Shield
Judoc - Collar - Falcon Shield
Venetia - Flower - Winter Shield
Thanks

ok i have 3 hollow orbs now i see the last one but can not open the door behind the lever/spikes room with the dragon heads i try to put 4 books in the tombs under the graveyard but i cannot open the 2 doors in the south side anymore since i get down with the rope i tried every skull position..
i am also try to destroy the door with the bear form potion ... the only 3 puzzles left for me are the demon head for the route trough the hedge (i must make a movie from it and play that very slowly again.. and the forcefield, and door earlier in the grounds i position the statues as the same in the garden.. nothing happens and down there are also 2 buttons and a door who stays close.....
the last forrcefield in the grounds, i think i can open it with the maximum sharp mind.. and all the gear locks with the maximum of acute instincst i have only 2 of them....

Hi hansbleeb,

For the Hollowed Essence:

Hint:
SpoilerShow
The clues for this puzzle can be found on 4 statues that are spread out on the Keep 1st and 2nd floors.
Solution:
SpoilerShow
North pedestal - Skull faces West - Air element
West pedestal - Skull faces North - Earth element
East pedestal - Skull faces South - Fire element
South pedestal - Skull faces East - Water element

Door with 2 buttons:
SpoilerShow
You just need to press both buttons very fast. Try facing and pressing one and then side stepping to the next.
Crypt:
SpoilerShow
The area in the Crypt with the 4 alcoves should not be closed off to you. The door to this room has a pull chain and no skull pedestals are needed to enter.
Hope that helps

Hi hansbleeb,

Check the solution I posted above for the Hollowed Essence. After setting the positions of the skulls make sure you click the button near the closed door.

I double checked the Grounds statue puzzle and everything appears to be working fine. Just to be clear:
SpoilerShow
Setting the statues to the correct position will open a secret door in the building between the statues.
Thanks

The room North of the spike trap room on the Keep 1st fl contains 4 skulls sitting on pedestals. Here is an example of a clue for this puzzle:
SpoilerShow
When you first enter the Keep 2nd floor from the stairs in the center of the map you will see a statue in the room. The wall text near the statue has a clue. There are 4 of these statues in the Keep.
The building I refer to in the Grounds is the Beacon Tower that is between the statues, 2 statues on the West side and 2 on the East.

Thanks

I think I can help Hans. Hans does not know how to enter the riddle room with the turnable skulls.
SpoilerShow
In the castle level 1 where the many spike traps are there are two demons guarding a door. These demons want a certain sacrifice in the alcoves behind them. When you activate a demon with the horn the eye colour of the demon hints towards the sacrifice. It is a certain book for each demon. Then the door will open.

Ohh I see, thanks Banaora. I did not consider that door to be the issue. I had assumed we were talking about the door within the next room that leads to the essence.

My apologies, hansbleeb, if this was the case.
