walkthrough

• On the floor to the right of the door, take the key from the skeleton's hand.
• Just above the skeleton on the shelf, take the green Oil Bottle.
• To the right of the statue, take the Jar of Ink from the shelf; there's also a Wine Bottle on this shelf.
• To the left of the door, take the Jar of Honey from the shelf.
• Use the Skeleton Key on the chest with bones on it to get a Photograph and Duster Brush.
• Use the Duster Brush on the five dusty placards around the room.
• Read placards I–V in order and find the odd one out in each set: I: Flamingo (flightless) – picture 2; II: Horse (no antlers) – picture 5; III: Sun (not a planet) – picture 4; IV: Hammer (not a blade) – picture 3; V: Recorder (not a string instrument) – picture 5.
• Pour the honey, the wine, the ink and the oil into the glass jug and note the colour order.
• Go to the chest on the floor and recreate the colours on the lock to open it; take out the Stone Tablet from inside.
• Go to the large statue and fill in the blanks using the photo and notes in your inventory. It should read: "In the year 1783, Sameer Gaspard unearthed an ancient Escapist TABLET in GREECE. It showed a method for using BRAINS".
