a. Understanding the Symbols
Each season is represented by a specific symbol, and the correct order is:
- Spring is a symbol that looks like a cross of two leaves.
- Summer (picture of sun).
- Fall (an emblem resembling a bare tree)
- Winter (the symbol that is similar to snow)
b. Atreus’ Clue
Atreus also suggests that the order should start from winter and end with spring. His dialogue is critical because it guides the players towards pointing out the solution. In particular, if one does not pay enough attention, one can be bogged down rather easily.
c. Manipulating the Mechanism
Kratos must turn a wheel which he does by pulling a lever. Players can spin each symbol a few times until the right one is placed at the right position of the slot machine. One must be, therefore, very attentive to the rotation of the symbols and ensure that they are aligned in the order as mentioned.
d. Sequence of the Puzzle
Once the puzzle is set up, players need to input the correct sequence: This is so because depending on the climate there is a variation between Winter, Spring, Summer, and Autumn.
