Heresiarch's Seminary: synopsis of the puzzle


Welcome to the Heresiarch's Seminary! You're going to have a really bad nightmare here (especially if you play the hardest difficulty setting). Anyway, the main emphasis of this walkthrough is the puzzle, so I'll skip the horrific superlatives and tell you about the puzzle in this episode.

There are two distinct phases in this episode:

  1. Solving the puzzle of the planets

    In the main hall in the Heresiarch's Seminary, there's a chart with circles and triangles on the wall. This is some kind of astrological chart with a symbol for the sun in the centre. You can also see a little red gem on the lower left corner, representing one of the planets. Five other spots for other planets are scattered across the chart, except that the gems representing those planets are missing. Your goal is to find these missing planets and fit them on the chart.

  2. Solving the puzzle of the chapels

    The second puzzle involves nine sub-puzzles. Some are switches that you must pull, others are places that you must cross. These puzzles are scattered across three chapels: the Griffin Chapel, the Dragon Chapel, and the Wolf Chapel. After you find solve all nine puzzles, the Heresiarch himself will appear...

Are you ready? Here we go...
