Can't get past the room in Alester's basement with the turnstiles. *PUZZLE SPOILERS*

[Losse]

I click on the turnstiles around the room and nothing happens. I found this guide but its useless since clicking on everything in the room does nothing at all.


Around the chamber you will notice there are 7 stone turnstiles. If you were noting the symbols, just look at the number of them. They arrange from 1 to 7. As to what turnstile is which, look to the left of it. You will see a carving of a circle with a particular number of dots. Below is a list that shows the number and gives a description of the symbol needed.

1 – Hydra (1 twist)
2 – Fire (5 twists)
3 – Blood Splatter (6 twists)
4 – Iron Throne (7 twists)
5 – 3 Swords (3 twists)
6 – Raven (2 twists)
7 – Seven Point Star (4 twists)

Once you have all the symbols set up, head over to the lever just off from the center of the room. Give it a pull to open the floor up and reveal the next part of the path. This will take you down to the meeting room of the Shadow Council itself.

Did all this, got a cutscene of bars pulling back across the floor but the floor didn't open

Without using this question I can tell you that info above is correct. Look @ each of the 'interesting' plaques in the corridor, count the symbols, then match the symbols around the room in order from 1-7.

Hmm, yeah maybe i didnt LOOK at them all by clicking on them. If it wasnt for the story i wouldnt put up with this game LOL. I'll give it a try and report back.

Yeah that did the trick, you must examine all of the things on the wall. Soooo, annoying.
