The pentagram10 hints left
There is a pentagram with five candles in Olmstein's room. The goal is to lit up all the candles.
After interacting with one of the candles you get a message: "Know this seeker. Books hold untold meaning. Order is capital."

Where to start?

There's a book case on the right. If you open a book you see text, in Latin, and the pentagram with matching roman numerals. You can click on the first five words and they appear on the pentagram in order. The word can be removed by clicking on it in the pentagram.
Especially the surviving books.

What do I try to do?

After you find five words into the pentagram you can go back to the candles and speak to them. Don will say out loud the word you have selected for each candle at the book case. You have to say the correct words in order from one to five.

Any hints?

Order is capital.

More hints?

Capital refers to the capital letters, of course. Capital letters of the book names.

More hints!

You also have the roman numerals: I, II, III, IV, V.

Tell me more hints

If you check the capital letters from the books you get something like: CEIT, EMIP, EO, FDU, I, II, etc...

Tell me more

The book "Iconis" is clearly associated with the first candle: I. The book "Impedio Vacerrosus" is the fourth book: IV. And so on.

What should I do with the books?

They are in order. From the book Iconis you get the first word of the pentagram.

Tell me the final solution

Open the books in this order and select these words:
  • Iconis (I): Cattus
  • Identificatio Idolatres (II): est
  • Idolum In Ignis (III): draconi
  • Impedio Vacerrosus (IV): in
  • Vastificum (V): finem
It should look like this:
Speak to the candles from I to V.

What does that mean, btw?

Something like: Cat is the monster in the end.
