Quirkyblonde Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 So I may be the weirdest gamer on the planet. I probably spend more time arranging my hard-won trophies in my house than I do actually earning them. What can I say? I'm a decorator at heart. This weirdness has led to a useful discovery. On the bottom of the Dragon Claw keys used to open the puzzle doors is the solution to the door it opens! When I first noticed the symbols I thought, 'surely not. it can't be that easy.' But I tried it out on the next puzzle door and voila! it worked! So here's my question, I'm the first person nerdy enough to notice this? Or is this discovery passe and already discussed. In case I'm the first to bring it up, you should know that manipulating the keys to actually get a good look at the bottom is not easy. I recommend using the telekinesis key (or button if you're a console gamer) to place the key on it's side on a waist high surface, then dropping into sneak mode. That's the best way to look at it.

Vagrant0 Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 It's already known and first hinted to in the first Barrow that you enter. Most people look at it in their inventory. It's known because nowhere else are their hints toward what the symbols are supposed to be set to so it would require lots of time spent guessing and usually getting battered by traps. It would have been more fun if the symbols were hidden in the reliefs along the corridor to the door, requiring a little bit of archaeology fun, but that would also get annoying after about the 8th time.

Wursthan Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Youtube vids about the use of Dragon keys show being able to zoom and get a closer look at the symbols before selecting the right combination, no idea how it's done though. They are discernable without zooming though, and have saved me looking up the solution every time for a few days now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xlr8films Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Yeah, look at them in your inventory. You can zoom and rotate them and see the symbols much easier. Took me a while with the first key I found to discover that, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quirkyblonde Posted November 25, 2011 Author Share Posted November 25, 2011 see, I was clueless. I've been methodically going thru every combination of the puzzles until I hit the right one up until now. *headdesk* and here I was so excited about my discover! How do you zoom on the PC? I've tried but can't figure it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarKirby3333 Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Yeah you were clueless. I figured this out as soon as i got the golden claw. I read the journal, inspected it and saw the symbols. figured they must be for something.then i come to a big door, it was pretty obvious hey, did you know water is wet? ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried but can't figure it out.Mouse wheel allows zoom. And as for inspecting the claws lucky accident with the first claw door lead me to that discovery.

marharth Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 I don't get why you guys don't just read the journal that was with the first claw. It can't get anymore obvious then "when you have the golden claw, the solution is in the palm of your hands." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xlr8films Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 (edited) Cuz all the fun is in the discovery? That and I play drunk, too. :thumbsup: How do you zoom on the PC? I've tried but can't figure it out. Yup, mouse wheel. Edited November 26, 2011 by xlr8films Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pineapplerum Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 I didn't know it. I did about 5 of those stupid puzzles. Made me crazy and trust me, I don't any help in that department. Someone finally clued me in on here and now I look forward to my next claw puzzle. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
