Explore the lower floor (more tapestries and symbols) and locate any remaining symbols for the words that make up the Narayan phrase (Balanced systems stimulate civilization). You will find the remaining symbols on the upper floor.
During your trip downstairs, you'll spot a Tomahna linking book on the left. You can use the Tomahna linking book if you wish--however, Saavedro will just be following you to Tomahna, and that will end the game in a nasty fashion! Just continue down to the lower room and examine the tapestries.
Though you discover a Tomahna linking book, think twice before using it! |
Return to the upper floor and approach the second console. It won't operate until you divert power using the nearby switch. Flip the switch to the right; you'll notice the shield reappears in the doorway! When you divert power from a console, it also reverts anything that console controls. Keep this in mind for later!
It's time to enter the Narayan symbol made from the phrase "Balanced systems stimulate civilization." Start with the symbol for "Balance" at the top and then input System, Stimulate, and Civilization in a clockwise formation. Once you have completed the symbol correctly, the shield surrounding this chamber lowers. You can now see beautiful Narayan! The switch between the two consoles controls the two shields. Flip the switch to the left to deactivate the doorway shield and activate the large shield; flip the switch to the right to deactivate the large shield and activate the doorway shield.
Here's the completed symbol for the Narayan age, or "Balanced systems stimulate civilization. |
Now it's time to match wits against Saavedro. There are several ways to complete the end sequence. Save your game so you can try again if you make a mistake! Here are some:
1. If you lower the main shield, as Saavedro suggests, the nefarious man leaves on his ship and drops the Releeshahn book (the book you have been attempting to recover the entire game) into the clouds below Narayan.
2. If you leave the main shield up and attempt to talk with Saavedro, he repeatedly warns you to lower the shield. Stick around for too long, and he ends your game by dropping the Releeshahn book into the clouds below.
Do you want to leave Saavedro trapped in Narayan or release him to his people? |
3. A smart move would be to immediately climb the staircase and turn off the power. This cuts the power to both consoles, which means both shields activate. This sticks Saavedro between both shields.
4. After cutting the power, return downstairs and speak with Saavedro. He begs for your assistance and will hand you the Releeshahn book as a sign of compromise. From this point, you can return to Tomahna, and leave Saavedro trapped forever, or you can adjust the switch toward the right console (so the main shield deactivates once power is activated) and return upstairs and flip the power switch. This lets Saavedro leave. You have the Releeshahn book, and Saavedro is able to return to his people. Congratulations!
