I am trying to solve the telescope puzzle in the observatory. I am trying to put in coordinates, but I guess I don't know how to do it. Can you help me.

Hi Sandra,

Have you first stepped on the moon tile beside the telescope to darken the room?

Have you already established what the co-ordinates should be, and do you just need help in entering the info?

I have stepped on moon, it is dark. I don't know how to estblish the coordinates.

It's quite detailed, here's an excerpt from the walkthrough which might help you:

Look in your inventory at the First Tapestry:
1. Mermaid - Once the gift of life has been taken for granted
2. Minotaur - Even the heart of the strongest one end up wounded
3. Manticor - The mind then becomes poisoned by grief and pain
4. Griffin- Until feathery soft memories let only happiness remains

Now use your "save and quit" function IF you want to be able to restart the puzzle from this beginning point by coming back in and using the "Continue" menu option.

Back at the telescope, look at the grid on the left. There are eight series of four numbers. These four sets of coordinates must be entered using the numbered disks on the wheel and the gold ball. The numbers are derived from the Watchtower Puzzle you solved earlier.
- The inner most circle moves the numbers from left to right
- The next circle rotates numbers counter clockwise
- The third circle moves numbers from top to bottom
- The last circle rotates the numbers clockwise
- The gold ball determines which set/row of numbers (coordinates) you've selected for entry to the telescope.
- The numbers must be lined up on the wheel, but the order of the four numbers does not matter

Rushes, thank you. I am currently just starting to replay Keepsake and that puzzle really gave me a lot of difficulty if I remember correctly.

You're welcome, kiraalt.

The in-game help system can be really useful too.

I have some numberws lines up, how do you keep them there. I must be very stupid.

Sandra,

You need to line the numbers up only. Do one set of numbers at a time. You cannot keep them fixed in that row.

Mermaid: 86, 59, 73, 68 .... 73, the belly button, is the hot spot
Minotaur: 11, 47, 32, 95 .... 47, the biceps are the hot spot
Manticor: 62, 33, 46, 25 ... 33, the thorn is the hot spot
Griffin: 87, 25, 68, 95 .... 87, the wing tip is the hot spot

Then, move the golden ball to that position.
Then look through the telescope to see the correct constellation.

Click on the appropriate number, the hot spot that relates to a stanza in the tapesty poem:

Mermaid 73 = belly button
Minotaur 47 = biceps
Manticor 33 = thorn
Griffin 87 = wing tip
