Gems of
Darkness

Walkthrough by

Prof. Bandham welcomes us, the
new archeologists to the excavation site of pre-Sumerian
civilization that lived 9000 years ago. He gives a copy of his
journal (top left of the screen) that contains explanations about
the different puzzles. Read the journal before doing each puzzles.
He also asks us to take a token box (yellow box at top center of the
screen) to place tokens after finishing each puzzle and a map of the
site (top right of screen). The site consists of 3 floors. The
ultimate goal is to decipher the Cipher Table, (located on the right
hallway by the Professor’s desk) using the tokens collected and thus
opening the door to the Treasure of the Kavi. 

The puzzles are done in Hard
mode. Clicking on gold bird at the bottom of the screen restarts the
puzzle. A jewel will light up on the token box when a puzzle is
solved and the room cipher token will be found inside the box. The
room cipher token can be obtained by doing only one puzzle but in
most rooms, there is more than one puzzle available for added
gaming. Clicking on a cipher on the map automatically brings you to
that room or you can walk and explore the site. Move forward and let
us start on the first room on the left. Easter eggs are found in
some rooms.

Arithmetic – The object of the puzzle is to have one
specific pattern on all 6 panels at one time. The clues to which
patterns are needed for this puzzle are seen in the Maze puzzle on
the second floor and the Logic Passage puzzle on the third floor.
Pulling the big lever on the right after the pattern is obtained
produces a disk. To get the token, 3 specific patterns should be
arranged . 1) Click on lever 6 (rotates all 6 panels) until one of
the needed pattern is seen on panel 6. 2) Click on lever 5 (rotates
panels 1-5) until the needed pattern is obtained on panel 5. 3)
Continue on lever 4/panel 4 to lever 1/panel 1 until all panels have
the same pattern. 4). Pull big lever on the right to get a disk. 5)
Click on lever 6 to get the next needed patterns until the 3 disks
are obtained. Easter egg – a rock on the wall at the back of the
pool reveals a gold pyramid.

Mazes – The object of the puzzle is to move the blue
box from first maze (#1) to the end maze (#9) and join a green box.
Look at all the mazes and examine the entry and exit to see which
ones match. There is more than one way to do this puzzle. Here is an
example – Pull lever 1 (left), do the maze, jump to maze 3 (lever
3), to maze 6 (lever 6) and to maze 9 (lever 9). Easter egg – a
stringed instrument is seen on the left of the room that lights up
red, green and blue. 

Sequential
Series – The object of the puzzle is to fill the blank area
on the right side with a correlated tile from the left side. Example
of correlations – 1. 1×2=2, 2×2=4, 2×4=8, 2. Square with dot on top
row and blank square at bottom, 3. 4 geometric shapes on top and 3
different at bottom, 5. Different mirror images 7. Rows 1, 2, 3 on
top becomes rows 2, 3, 1 at bottom. Easter egg – a rock beside a
column will rise.

Mazes
(numerical) – The object of the puzzle is to reach from the
upper left start to the upper right exit. The vertical or horizontal
square moves depend on the number of triangles on the square you are
on. As in other mazes, going from the end and moving backwards to
the start might give a better perspective to the puzzle.

Solitaire – The object of the game is to remove all
the balls except one by jumping over another ball. Click/hold to
move the balls. There are several ways to solve this puzzle. Here is
an example – move ball in slot 1  to end in slot
40.

Memory –  The object of the puzzle  is to
match symbols on the balls at the top row to the bottom row. There
are 10 changes of symbols of both top and bottom row. The left set
of white pegs cycles the top row and the right set of pegs cycles
the bottom balls. The best way is to write down the symbols by
cycling the balls and then matching them. In the table below, the
symbols are replaced by letters. Easter egg – a jug will pour an
igniter to make a bonfire.

Maze – The object of the puzzle is to move the flat
stick from the left bottom start area to the top right end area.
Click on the gold slotted screw head to position/slide the pivot,
then click on empty hole on the stick to move the stick on all
possible pivot areas.

Click on the bottom of the
table to reveal clues for first floor Arithmetic puzzle and third
floor Runes puzzle  .

Adjacency – The object of the puzzle is to have all
the buttons pressed down. Determine which buttons are affected by
clicking/pressing on a button. The buttons that go down are
symmetrical and what one quadrant does is applicable to the other
quadrants. In the solution below, click (C) on the specified
buttons. 

Rotating
Stars – The object of the puzzle is to place the 6 blue
spotted points/moon signs around the center pattern, 2 earth emblems
(donut-like) on the left points and 2 sun emblems (spider web-like)
on the right points. The emblems are found in the journal. Each
pattern’s points can be rotated clockwise -C (click on right or top
of center) and counterclockwise – CC (click on left or bottom of
center). There are several ways to do this puzzle, here is one.
Easter egg – at the center of the room is an animated shell
game.
