gently caress, ofc, B is last, that's the sun going up, the other are moons. And A goes before B. I think it's what someone said: moonrise, moon up, moon down, moon under horizon, darkness, sun.

So CFEDAB?

But we have pulled two already. Do we need to pull the rest to reset the puzzle.

Think so. Or ACFEDB if we start from darkness - moon - up - down - under horizon - sunrise.

I'm confused about the layout of this room, I thought we went north into the darkness, then backtracked so I don't know where the statue came from

I was thinking exactly this. North, North, South, South and we landed on a different place? Or did we just not look at poo poo before?

Speaking of the 120 lock thing:

CirclMastr posted:

The lock is a large triangle, inset with a pyramid of 120 keyholes. At each corner of the triangle is a stylized star symbol.

There are some overlaid stars on the corners, I think those are supposed to be the clue for it, or maybe just a clue combined with something else?
