Step 1: Entering the Sorcerer’s Hall
You start in an old, dusty hall filled with magical trinkets. Don’t just look—observe! Your first clue is usually near the large mirror with gold trim. Touch the mirror and a riddle appears:
“I speak without a mouth and hear without ears. I have no body, yet I come alive with wind. What am I?”
Answer: Echo
Whisper it to the mirror. Bam! The bookshelf creaks open to a second chamber.

This next area is glowing with colorful bottles. You’ll see a table labeled ALCHEMY.
- Check out the spellbook on the table—it’s not locked.
- Go to the page titled “Essence of Passage.”
- It lists ingredients you must find: Dragon Scale, Mermaid Tear, Phoenix Feather.
Now explore to find the bottles labeled with these names. Here’s the trick:
- Dragon Scale: Hidden beneath the floor mat near the fire pit.
- Mermaid Tear: Tucked inside the shell sculpture on the shelf.
- Phoenix Feather: Attached to a fake owl perched in the corner.
Combine the ingredients in the cauldron as shown in the book. You’ll see a puff of purple smoke and a small hidden drawer opens beneath the stand. Inside is a glowing key. That key unlocks the Spiral Door!
Step 3: The Riddle of the Spiral Door
The Spiral Door leads to the Sorcerer’s Study. But wait—it speaks!
“Speak the tongue of the trees, or remain bound forever by the breeze.”
You’ll notice four wooden totems near the doorway. Each has a different tree language rune. Use the decoder card found taped under the study’s chair to translate:
- Oak = Strength
- Willow = Wisdom
- Elder = Protection
- Birch = New Beginnings
The password is “Wisdom.” Push the Willow rune, and the door swings open with a rush of magical air.
Step 4: The Sorcerer’s Study
This room is packed with scrolls, ancient maps, and a glowing orb in the center on a pedestal.
Do NOT touch the orb right away! First, explore the drawers in the desk. Inside, you’ll find a scroll labeled “Final Binding Spell.” This scroll gives you instructions on how to safely activate the orb:
- Light the three candles in the room (with the magical lighter hidden beneath the globe).
- Speak the phrase: “Lux Et Veritas”.
- Touch the orb while pressing the dragon emblem on the wall.
Done correctly, the orb shows you the final key’s location—it’s inside the crystal ball (which opens at the base)!

Use the final key on the big golden chest under the sorcerer’s cape rack. Inside is your exit handle—a wand that unlocks the final magical door!
Touch the wand to the door runes and chant “Porta Libera.” And there you go—you’re out!
Hidden Easter Eggs 🎉
Now let’s talk fun extras. The game designers hid a bunch of clever secrets throughout the room. Did you catch any of these?
- Harry Potter Reference: Look at the framed photo near the potion table. It has a lightning bolt scar.
- Chronicles of Narnia Doorway: The wardrobe in the study hums if you put your ear to it. It’s a nod to Narnia but doesn’t open!
- Talking Skull: On the second shelf in the hall, you’ll find a crystal skull. If you tap it three times and say “Whisper,” it replies with a random fantasy quote every game!
- Lord of the Rings Ring Inscription: Inside the final chest lid, there’s Elvish writing. “One door to rule them all…”
These don’t affect gameplay but really add that magical sparkle ✨.
