Baron Wittard: Nemesis of Ragnarok Walkthrough, part 3 of 6

Secret Entrance Access

• There is no easy way in.
• The only thing you can do in the front yard is push the red
  buttons on the pedestals.
• The letters on the pedestals are actually Roman Numerals.
• The buttons need to be pressed in a certain order.
• Did you examine that advertisement in the dust bin very carefully?
• There is a number circled on the advertisement.

• Press the buttons in the order V – VII – III –
  V
• Something happened. Find out what it was.
• Check the pedestal which is different.

Sewer Access

• First, document what all of the controls do.
• The slide switches cause the indicators to move back and forth.
  The knob resets to the starting position.
• Indicators can only move three positions to the left or right
  of center. If a switch would move an indicator out of range, that
  switch is disabled.
• The object is to get all of the indicators to line up in the
  center within only five moves
• There are two strategies you can use to solve puzzles of this
  kind.
• If you are good at algebra, you can write the solution equation
  for each indicator and then solve them simultaneously for the
  five unknowns. Works first time, every time.
• If you want to avoid the maths, you can nibble away at the solution
  using logical deduction.
• Let us label the switches top to bottom A-E. Now label the indicators
  top to bottom I1-I5.
  Moving one to the left is -1 and moving one to the right is +1.
  The switches do the following each time they are clicked:

Algebraic Solution

• This is only if you know algebra. I don’t have the room to teach
  you in this hintthrough.
• First, create the solution equation for the first indicator.
• Each time you click on “A” the indicator
  will move +1, and so on for the other four switches.
• The solution must equal -1 to get the indicator over the center.
• So the equation is 1A + 1B + 1C – 2D + 2E = -1
• Now create the equations for the other four indicators.
• You now have five equations and five unknowns. Solve simultaneously.

Logical Solution

• Start with the bottom indicator, I5.
• It is already in the center, so any move to the left must be
  balanced by a move to the right.
• So there can be only three potential solutions …
• First, clicking C once and clicking B, D or E to balance it
  with a two-click solution. Is this possible?
• Second, clicking C twice and then choosing two clicks among
  B, D or E to balance it with a four-click solution. Is this
  possible?
• Third, clicking A then then choosing four clicks among B,
  D and E to balance it with a five-click solution. If the first
  two were not possible, this is what we are left with.
• Since we must choose A, there are only six possibilities to
  test.

Solution

• You must click the following five switches: (1)A, (2)B and (2)D.
• But you must determine the correct order.
• Click the switches in the order B – D – A –
  B – D

Emergency Power

Hints

• The object is to rearrange the numbers so that every row and
  every column adds up to the same number.
• This is actually a simplified Magic Square (a real magic square
  would also require the diagonals to equal the rows and columns).
• The clue to this puzzle is in the magazine in the Inner Garden.
• The key to puzzles of this type is to pair the numbers up.
• The two end numbers, 1 and 16, add up to 17. The second numbers
  in, 2 and 15, add up to 17. See a pattern?
• First, arrange the numbers in pairs.
• The first row will be 1 – 16 – 2 – 15. The
  second row will be 3 – 14 – 4 – 13, etc.
• That solves the rows.
• Now take the first two columns and reverse pairs until the columns
  are solved. For example, 1 – 16 might become 16 –
  1.
• And finally, solve the last two columns.

Solution

Blue Dolphin Entrance

Hints

• The object is to place all of the pieces on the left into the
  area on the right. One large piece is already placed for you.
• The good news is that there are many solutions to this puzzle.
• The bad news is that I know of no algorithm which will solve
  it logically. You will just have to use trial and error.
• Place the large green piece above the existing piece and then
  place the large red square above it. That will complete a full
  rectangle on the right. The rest of the puzzle should now be easier.

Solution

Blue Dolphin Pump

Hints

• The object is to pump the water out so that you can get the
  Rune Stone.
• You must first start the machine by pressing the “Start”
  button.
• You can then click on fans.
• Each fan will increment the pressure by a certain amount. Take
  notes.
• You must select a combination of fans which will cause the ”Pressure”
  gauge to match the “Diesel” gauge.
• If your selection of fans causes the pressure to exceed the
  gauge, the diesel will shut down and you will have to press “Start”
  again.
• Once the gauges match, press the “Pump” button.

Solution

• There are multiple solutions.
• One solution is to number the top row of fans from left to right
  1-2-3-4-5, and so on. Then select fans 5, 9, 10 and 14.
• Another solution is 1, 5, 11 and 14.

Lobby Mezzanine Entrance

Hints

• The door works on Emergency Power
• The Emergency Power must be turned on by solving the puzzle
  in the Maintenance Room.
• All four Emergency Power Control Points must be set correctly.
• The locations of the Control Points are on a diagram found in
  the Blue Dolphin Mezzanine.

Solution

• Set all four Control Points to the right and there will be power
  to the door.

Elevator

Hints

• The elevator uses Emergency Power to operate.
• So you must solve the Maintenance Room puzzle first.
• All four Emergency Power Control Points must be set correctly.
• The locations of the Control Points are on a diagram found in
  the Blue Dolphin Mezzanine.

Solution

• The Control Point behind the elevator must be flipped to the
  left. The other three must be flipped to the right.
