Escape Simulator has cemented itself as one of the premier VR escape room experiences, transporting players to intricately crafted worlds filled with environmental puzzles. The game‘s latest addition, the Chamber of Danger, serves as the fourth chapter in the popular Labyrinth of Egypt series.
As a longtime player and escape room enthusiast, I was eager to take on the Chamber of Danger‘s cryptic hieroglyphic puzzles. In this comprehensive walkthrough, I‘ll provide everything you need to unravel the secrets of this Egyptian tomb adventure, from unraveling camel alignments to navigating the giant rotating maze.
Entering the Shadowy Depths of the Chamber
The Chamber of Danger continues the perilous journey through the Labyrinth of Egypt, an underground crypt below the desert sands. According to Escape Simulator lore, this labyrinth was built by ancient Egyptians to protect the tomb of the great pharaoh Ramases III.
The chamber evokes a sense of danger and claustrophobia, trapping players in a sandstone room lit only by flickering torches. Hieroglyphics and statues of Egyptian gods adorn the walls, watching your every move. Ominous stone slabs block your path, daring you to solve the mysteries needed to escape.
As a Social Media Marketing expert by day, escaping cryptic underground tombs was not a skillset I expected to use! But that‘s part of the addictive appeal of Escape Simulator – it takes you to exotic locales and imaginative worlds that make you feel like an adventurer or detective. The Chamber of Danger is no different, immersing you in an Indiana Jones-esque search for hidden clues and lost treasures.
According to the backstory, the Chamber of Danger was built as the last line of defense before the inner burial chamber of Ramases III. Only those clever enough to solve all the puzzles would reach the pharaoh‘s sarcophagus. As the latest chapter in the Labyrinth of Egypt series, clearing the Chamber of Danger brings you one step closer to uncovering the ancient ruler‘s hidden tomb.
Let‘s begin this walkthrough and shed some light on the shadowy depths of this Egyptian crypt! I‘ll provide step-by-step solutions to all five puzzles along with tips to help fellow explorers crack the chamber‘s codes.
Solving the Mysteries of the Chamber
The Chamber of Danger contains five main puzzles that must be completed sequentially:
- Camel Puzzle
- Memory Game
- Pyramid Puzzle
- Wind Puzzle
- Maze Puzzle
I‘ll break down how to solve each puzzle in detail. Grab your torches and follow me into the depths!
Aligning Camels, Suns, and Scorpions in Puzzle #1
The first puzzle involves manipulating camels, a sun statue, and a scorpion statue on a large wall carving. When entering the chamber, be sure to pick up the ancient notepad from the sandy floor. This notepad provides clues on how to solve the camel alignment.
At first glance, the wall carving appears to be a strange abstract artwork. But upon reading the notepad, you realize it‘s actually a logic puzzle portrayed through Egyptian hieroglyphics.
The notepad outlines three crucial rules:
- The camel cannot be left alone with the scorpion.
- The scorpion cannot be left alone with the sun.
- The sun must be at its zenith when the scorpion is present.
These three guidelines provide the key to shifting the carvings into the proper positions. After careful trial and error, here is the solution:
- Move the camel statue to the far right. Move the sun to the middle. Move the scorpion to the middle.
- Move the camel statue to the middle space. Shift the sun carving to the far right. Move the scorpion to the far right.
- Move the camel statue to the far left space. Move the sun carving to the far left. Move the scorpion to the far left.
Completing these three repositionings in the exact order shown will cause a red stone ball to drop from the puzzle. Be sure to pick it up!
This first puzzle exemplifies the cryptic nature of the Chamber of Danger. At first glance, the wall carving looks like an incoherent mish-mash of statues. But upon reading the ancient Egyptian notepad, an "A-ha!" moment hits as you realize it‘s actually encoding a logic puzzle. Figuring out this camel/sun/scorpion puzzle unlocks the door to the chamber‘s deeper mysteries.
Unlocking Symbols in the Memory Game
After solving the camel statue puzzle, turn your attention right to find a panel with six circular buttons. Five buttons have hieroglyphic symbols, while one button is gold.
This panel presents a memory game where you must press the symbols in the correct sequence. I found this puzzle to be trickier than expected! The symbols can be confusing at first glance.
Here is the proper order:
- Press the middle button showing the hieroglyphics for a human and dog.
- Press the left button showing the hieroglyphics for a human and bird.
- Press the right button showing just a singular human.
Pressing the buttons in this precise order will open a chamber that drops a black stone ball. Remember to pick it up!
This memory game exemplifies Escape Simulator‘s devious nature. The puzzle plays on your assumptions and memory retention skills. I wrongly assumed the buttons should be pressed from left to right. But in reality, the sequence jumps around in a way that only careful observation reveals.
The chamber creators clearly designed this to catch players off guard! But keeping a cool head and double-checking each symbol allows you to crack the code and collect the puzzle‘s prize.
Solving the Pyramid by Deducing Missing Symbols
The third puzzle ramps up the difficulty by requiring deduction skills. Pick up the small pyramid object from the chamber floor. Take it to the wall panel where it fits perfectly into an etched outline.
Inserting the pyramid activates a puzzle where you must figure out the missing symbol for four empty diamond-shaped slots on the wall panel.
Through process of elimination, here are the solutions:
- The first diamond is missing a pyramid symbol.
- The second diamond is missing a leg symbol.
- The third diamond is missing an owl symbol.
- The fourth diamond is missing a knife symbol.
Entering these deducted symbols (pyramid, leg, owl, knife) will cause a miniature golden statue to appear. Be sure to grab it – this statue will be used to unlock the next puzzle!
This deduction challenge stretched my logic skills to their limit. Finding the missing symbols required closely cross-referencing the other icons surrounding each diamond. I enjoyed how this puzzle truly made me feel like a cryptologist cracking an ancient code. Escape Simulator did an excellent job designing puzzles requiring brains over brawn.
Harnessing the Power of Wind and Levitation for Puzzle #4
The fourth puzzle is activated by obtaining the blue ball located underneath the "Wind Puzzle" contraption. Along with the blue ball, you should now have four colored orbs in your inventory:
- Blue stone ball
- Red stone ball
- Black stone ball
- Golden statue
Your goal is to insert these four items into the Wind Puzzle slots and position them so the balls levitate in a perfect horizontal line. This requires experimenting with different arrangements.
The correct position is:
- Black ball
- Red ball
- Golden statue
- Blue ball
With the orbs aligned properly, press the small gold button on the chamber floor. This will make a mirror appear! Pick it up – the mirror is required to unlock the final puzzle.
This Wind Puzzle was incredibly satisfying to solve. Seeing the orbs magically levitate and finding the precise positioning to make them align activated the problem-solving reward centers in my mind. The ancient Egyptians were truly ahead of their time with innovations like this wind & levitation rig!
Navigating the Giant Maze for the Final Puzzle
The last puzzle is activated by placing the mirror you acquired into the round slot in the center of the chamber. Doing this causes the entire back wall to split open, revealing a giant mechanical maze.
The maze has three rotating layers or rings that can be shifted. Your goal is to position the rings so the maze pathways align according to markings on three beetle sculptures along the wall.
I found the easiest solution was to first align the outermost maze ring with the beetle carvings. Once the outer ring was set, I rotated the second and third inner rings until they were also aligned with the beetle markings.
Aligning all three maze rings opens the exit, allowing you to escape the claustrophobic Chamber of Danger!
This epic final puzzle was the crowning jewel. As a lover of maze challenges, the giant mechanical maze was incredibly immersive and complex. Aligning the rotating layers just right required patience and spatial awareness. Escaping through the door after correctly solving the maze was an amazing triumph!
