About the puzzle
The puzzle is in the director's office. It consists of several steps. First, you need to properly place the bracelets on the statue's hand to get the key to the nearby door. Behind the doors, you must properly arrange the books on the shelf to discover which symbols correspond to which numbers. The last step is entering the safe code.
How to set bracelets on the hand statue?
To start the puzzle, you must place the bracelets on the statue's hand in the correct order and position. This stage consists of two steps:
- Place the red bracelet at the top, the silver bracelet in the middle, and the gold bracelet at the bottom,
- There is a small spot on each bracelet where the paint has come off. This reveals the two digits on the bracelet. There is also a vertical stripe of chipped paint on the statuette. You must therefore turn the bracelets so that the numbers are on the strip of chipped paint.
Once the bracelets are placed correctly, the statue will drop a key to the adjacent room. You will also learn the combination to the safe, which is 92-45-71. However, the safe uses symbols instead of numbers, so you have to decipher which symbols correspond to which numbers.
How to properly arrange books on the shelf?
After opening the door, take the missing button for the safe from the table and interact with the bookshelf. There are numbers on the shelf, and the spines of the books have symbols and parts of a drawing. The correct arrangement of books will therefore reveal which number each symbol corresponds to.
To arrange the books correctly, you need to make their spines create the shape of a giant lion. In the picture above you will find the correct arrangement of books. You now know which numbers correspond to each symbol.
How to open the safe?
The last step is matching the symbols to the 92-45-71 code. In the picture above you will find the correct code. Take the roof key from inside the safe to continue exploring Brookhaven Hospital.
