Introduction

You need to place the weights on the scales to unlock various areas of the prison. In the beginning only one weight is present – the Starter weight. Ther rest of the weights you will have to collect in different sections of the prison.

The six weights when all put into their starting positions from left to right are:

  • Starter (1) - The Lightest (2) - Light (3) - Medium (4) - Heavy (5) - The Heaviest (6)

Unlocking the Headless Serpent door

Collect the Heaviest Weight from the altar in the Chapel, Main Section.

Put the Starter Weight (1) on the left scale and the Heaviest Weight (6) on the right one to unlock the Headless Serpent door (Death Row).

Unlocking the Hornless Ox door

Put the Starter (1) and The Heaviest Weights (6) on the left scale and the Medium Weight (4) on the right one to unlock the Hornless Ox door (Second Floor).
