Note: difficulty per puzzle is rated in relativity to this room, not in absolute difficulty.


Teleporting to the Main Room - Difficulty: Easy
In order to proceed, you must pick up one of the swords (there are 2 in the front left of the room on the bottom shelf, and 2 in the back left of the room in an open chest) and place it in the stone. You will then be teleported into the next room which contains the rest of the puzzles.


Orienting the Madmen - Difficulty: Hard
In order to solve this puzzle, there are several signs you must take note of. Click on each note to reveal additional clues as necessary.

When you first teleport, there is a sign ahead to your right that reads "Life as it is: North / Life as it should be: West".

In the middle of the corridor intersections, a compass is hidden beneath the rug; drag the rug out of the way to find directional orientation.

Near the compass is a sign that reads "Too much sanity may be madness - and maddest of all: to see life as it is, and not as it should be!" This sign is next to a bookcase that contains 5 skulls. Above the bookcase is the sign reading "Only Madmen Lie Here."

Since we can presume the 5 skulls to belong to madmen, according to the quote, they see life as it is, which according to the first sign, is oriented toward north.

Final Answer
Turn each of the 5 skulls to face north (they should all be looking directly at you). The bookcase will then slide to the left, revealing another corridor.

Unlocking the 5-Digit Chest - Difficulty: Medium
At the end of one of the corridors (to the left from your initial teleportation point) is a chest that requires a 5-digit code in order to be unlocked. Click on each note to reveal additional clues as necessary.

Located throughout the corridors (including the hidden room revealed in the previous puzzle Orienting the Madmen are 5 quotes pinned to the walls with varying numbers of nails.

In order to solve this puzzle, you must first read each sign. Note that certain letters are in red; when you read only the red letters from left to right, top to bottom, each sign will spell out a number.

Take note of the quantity of nails pinning each sign to the wall. The minimum quantity is 1, and the maximum quantity is 5; the sign with only 1 nail will therefore be the first digit in the 5-digit sequence.

Final Answer
The sign with 1 nail spells out s-e-v-e-n; the sign with 2 nails spells out o-n-e; and the rest in order spell out t-h-r-e-e, e-i-g-h-t, and t-w-o respectively. Enter the code 71382 into the 5-digit lock, and retrieve all items within the chest.

6-Letter Word - Difficulty: Medium
This puzzle corresponds with the 6 empty squares directly underneath one of the signs (straight ahead from your teleportation point). Click on each note to reveal additional clues as necessary.

You must first collect all 6 letter cubes from around the room. 2 of the cubes are on the bookshelf; one cube is on a barrel near the exit door, one cube is inside a toolbox to the left of the empty squares, and two cubes were retrieved within the chest as unlocked in the previous puzzle Unlocked the 5-Digit Chest.

If you stand in front of the 3 portraits near the center of the room (portraits of Pedro Perez, Rocinante, and Micomicona), you should see additional information appear. The factoids for Pedro Perez and Micomicona and merely informational, but the factoid in front of Rocinante provides the original name of Don Quixote, which is 6 letters long.

Final Answer
Arrange the letter cubes to spell ALONSO, the original name of Don Quixote. Retrieve all items within the chest.

Portraits - Difficulty: Easy
This puzzle is associated with the 3 portraits of Pedro Perez, Rocinante, and Micomicoma. Click on each note to reveal additional clues as necessary.

Below the three portraits are 3 white shelves. There are 3 chess pieces placed around the room; the queen is on the bookshelf, the knight is in the toolbox, and the bishop is in the 5-digit chest. Retrieve all pieces.

Place the 3 chess pieces in front of the respective portrait that they are closest in similarity to.

There is one additional piece that must be placed. Note the sign in the room previously hidden behind the bookshelf - "We can ride off to Toboso on Rocinante, but Rocinante can't gallop away on an empty stomach."

Final Answer
Place the queen chess piece in from of Micomicona, the knight in front of Rocinante, and the bishop in front of Pedro Perez. Place the apple retrieve from the chest unlocked by the 6 letter cubes next to Rocinante's mouth. The chest below the portraits should unlock; retrieve the knife within the chest.

Tilting at the Windmill - Difficulty: Easy
This puzzle is associated with the windmill in the hidden room. Click on each note to reveal additional clues as necessary.

You should have 3 or 4 knives in your inventory at this point; one knife from the 5-digit chest, one from the chest below the 6 letter cubes, and one from the chest below the portraits. If you haven't already, grab the final knife on the black circular table in front of the windmille.

Final Answer
Insert each knife into a separate arm of the windmill; once all four knives have been inserted, the windmill will start spinning, and a chest on the ceiling of the room will open. A sword should fall onto the black circular table; if the sword does not fall down, look up and grab it out of the chest.

Defeating the Knight of the White Moon - Difficulty: Easy
This is the final requirement to escape. Click on the hint to reveal the solution.

Final Answer
Take the sword obtained from the Tilting at the Windmill puzzle and insert it into the Knight. Upon completion, the Knight will disappear, and you will escape the room.
