room. The key to finding the hiding spot is completing the Solitaire IQ puzzle. Once the puzzle is complete, a drawer opens up, revealing the hiding spot.



Ixupi[]

The hiding spots for an Ixupi in this room are both related to displays. The first is the ashes of the cremation display. It is a known hiding spot of the Ash Ixupi. The second is the burial bundles, in which the Cloth Ixupi is known to hide in.

Puzzles[]

There are two puzzles in this room. The first one is the Solitaire IQ puzzle, which is in the base of the cremation display. Completing that puzzle, as stated above, reveals a hiding spot in the base of that display. The second puzzle is one of the Skull Dials, right near the Viking Burial Boat.

Things Amiss[]

At first, it appears nothing really is amiss in here. However, careful examination of the coffin display in the room reveals something that should not be there. The jade skull that is supposed to be in the Main Lobby is lying near it. Also, there is the Diary of Merrick Campbell lying under the coffin. Opening this coffin reveals the corpse of Merrick Campbell. Since Merrick’s ghost is found in the Jade Ixupi’s vessel, it is likely that Merrick might have hidden in the coffin to stay safe from the Ixupi, and had the jade skull as a weapon. The Jade Ixupi then stole the last of Merrick’s essence, using the jade skull as the point of attack.
