Arcanium Solution

Spoiler alert : this page contains the solution for Arcanium.

I - Unlock the first compartment

Pull the tab located above the clock. Then lift the piece on the opposite side. The window can then be rotated. Pull the piece protruding at the bottom left, then lower the tab: the first compartment is now unlocked.

II - Unlock the base drawer

Slide the piece at the bottom of the window to the left. Then rotate the round piece on the adjacent face: this allows you to move the piece laterally and lift the element that is blocking the base.

Then move the decoration on the base to the right or left. This will release the other decoration, allowing you to pull the tab that locks the button to the padlock. Repeat this process in the opposite direction to unlock the drawer.

III - Unlocking the clock

Retrieve the coin from the drawer and place it in the previously unlocked compartment. It reveals the code for the three buttons: 2, 5, 8 .

Position the buttons correctly to lift the piece underneath, then rotate the decoration. This action releases the tab on the left.

Next, use your phone's flash by inserting it into the hole above the clock, preferably in a dark environment: the time will then appear inside the window.

IV - The final enigma

To determine the position of the four buttons, refer to the top surface and the corresponding symbols. Each symbol is associated with a shape, which represents one of the four patterns on the top.

Next, align the two arrows correctly: the lower arrow should point to the symbols visible on the buttons, while the upper arrow indicates the decorative patterns. If the alignment is incorrect, rotate the dial a full 360 degrees to change the combination. Once the correct configuration is found, the hands will reveal the three correct letters.

Once the buttons are correctly positioned, slide the locking latches: the base can then pivot.
