Chants of Sennaar cemetery guide: How to solve the rotating statues puzzle

Chants of Sennaar might be the only game that hands you the solutions to all its puzzles—Albeit not in plain language.

Before you can roll credits on Chants of Sennaar, you have to become a master of languages. Thanks to your journal, and a hooded person’s killer drawing skills, this won’t be so hard. The only way forward is through solving puzzles, like pulling levers to drain and fill areas with water, or rotating statues until you reveal secret rooms. The solution is usually given to you by a fellow hooded person or a sign they put up somewhere nearby, but you can’t really interpret the words until you speak their language. In this guide, I’ll show you how to complete the Cemetery Statue puzzle in Chants of Sennaar.
