Ancient Relic Puzzles, any info? (SPOILERS)

[Daring]

Has anyone figured out how to solve these yet? I'm unable to find anything online referencing these.

So far I've found two of these. One in Sukhothai behind a waterfall near the entrance to the pyramid on the river, and the second in Iraq in the Ziggurat.

It's a bunch of holes in which you're able to insert ancient relics, and turn left/right. When you turn them left/right pegs will come out of the holes.

Anyone come across info on these during their travels?

In Gizeh there's one in the Khufu pyramid abyss section (I think that's where it was anyway): after entering a certain room there should be a large central platform, and there is a door underneath the platform that should be the first ancient relic puzzle you encounter. Behind the door is yet another ancient relic to use in future puzzles.

You also get all the relics back when you complete a puzzle.

Turning left activates 1 peg in all 8 directions each, while turning right activates all pegs in 4 directions. In other words, turning left creates a circle of activated pegs, while turning right creates a cross of activated pegs. The cross is limited by spaces between peg slots, but the circle is not.

That's all the help I can give at this point.

Thanks! One question-- do you need all of the relics to complete the puzzle?

I haven't completed it but I think so. It seems you need about 12 or 13 relics per section and there are 4 sections. I think there are 50 relics total. You might be able to get away with 48 or 49 of them unless you're a god gamer.

I recommend completing the story before doing the final relic puzzle so that Gina doesn't get in your way.

Seems that all you need to do is to pop out all the "dots". So the more relics you have, the easier it will be. This is for the one in Gizeh though. Maybe other ones are harder.
