How Glyphs & Journal Pages Work

Every mural, signpost, and inscription you examine adds a unique glyph to your in-game Journal. Once you’ve collected all symbols for a page, the game pauses and asks you to match each icon to its illustration, correct matches lock in the page and often open a related terminal or secret passage.

Journal Page Unlock Tips

• Ring Indicator Dot: A white dot on any glyph ring means you haven’t yet seen that symbol nearby.
• Hint Button: Highlights clusters of undiscovered glyphs without spoiling exact designs, use sparingly.
• Save & Reload: Save in Slot 2 before entering each new zone; if a page fails to trigger, reload and sweep every interactable in 360°.

Terminal & Link Puzzle Notes

After each Tome, special terminals let you rebuild glyph networks that reshape the Tower’s structure. Always reference your confirmed glyph meanings, any mismatched link resets the puzzle. Completed terminals unlock elevator shortcuts, hidden ledges, and the true-ending path.

Commonly Missed Glyphs & Solutions

• Abbey: “Lens” & “Pot” at the pottery stall; “Preacher” & “Plant” behind the altar mural.
• Fortress: Use torch puzzle in Antichamber for Key/Instrument/Balance/Vessel; Telescope Room panels for Sun/Moon/Bellman; “Impure” & “Scientist” under staircase slab.
• Garden: “Compass,” “North,” “West,” & “¿” only after cistern puzzle, inspect east sewer mural.
• Laboratory: Explore Silver Mine side-room (Warrior/Not/Plant); Fairy & Refectory on potion crates & refectory mural; digits 6–9 via Lab 3 switch.
• Exile: “Revive” after console link-2; “Disregard” on side panels post-sequence.

Collection Best Practices
