Drawing puzzle

[Grey Dragon]

I'm currently stuck in this game on a puzzle involving a circle of black ooze. There are a series of glowing red holes in the ooze and it is possible to draw lines in the surface. However, I have not seen any clues as to what I am actually supposed to be drawing. What have I missed?

look your book,and look cloose Look where the "Pen" startet and which Way it goes

And if the solution is not in your book, then go back to the huge metal 3/4-circle structure in one of the rooms - the structure that you can turn by 90 degrees with a lever on the wall. But it's much more likely that you solved the puzzle around that structure already, and therefore already have the glyph in your journal.

I have come across the 3/4-circle structure, and rotating it with the lever brings a claw-shaped mount within reach, but I can't find anything to put in it. I tried using the crystal I picked up earlier, but that doesn't work, and all of the other crystals in the cavern seem to be purely decorative.

You're on the right track. You just need (as you already figured out) something else than the blue crystal to put into the receptacle.

There are indeed lots of decorative crystals on this map, but not all of them are. :)

U need 1 Orange Cristal, when u enter the room go to the front rack its one of them

I have examined all of the crystals I can find. They are all non-interactive.

wait 15 min until i redownload the game then i show u

This keeps happening to me in this game. I spend ages searching for an item I need and keep finding out that it's something I dismissed as background colour. It took me AGES to work out that the large container in the middle of the biolab was actually interactive. I had repeatedly dismissed it as "yet another sealed box".

If there is another crystal I can pick up, surely it should stand out from the others in some way?

[Grey Dragon]

Enough of this. Every time I run into something new, its either a dead end or a red herring ("Yes, I can see the crystal, why aren't you trying to pick the damn thing up!?!"). I'm just going to have to give up until someone can write a guide.

You could follow one of the full walkthroughs that are already available on youtube. Here's one of them, the link should lead you to the 2:26h mark.

Personally I did not feel that this puzzle was very difficult. You get a clear hint as to which stone is the correct one, you just need to remember which of the symbols you've already seen before. And failing that, just trying all of the stones will also lead to the solution.

simply put... there's a symbol in the top left next to some, not all, of the orange crystals... from what i can remember you need to click on the symbol

the guy you're playing as talks about the 'symbols'

Damn!!! I had completely failed to realise that you could actually click on any of the symbols. I had assumed that the close-up was purely to let you look at the symbols yourself.

Anyway, thanks for the help. I have finally completed the puzzle. However, it seems that the reason I failed to complete it to begin with is because I didn't realise that the close-up of the orange crystals was at all interactive. Fortunately, now that I know this, I have been able to complete the game and achieve two different endings. I've got to admit that despite the frustration, I did enjoy this game.

There's still more to discover, though...

Totally don't understand, I got the glyph from the red crystal, but I can't even draw the glyph since it fails once I finished a stroke
I don't like this puzzle
