How to solve the Three Eyed Gate puzzle

You will find the Three Eyed Gate puzzle, also known as the Light Chamber puzzle, on your way to finding the Idol of Ra. You will need to direct six beams of light onto the correct symbols on the wall to open the path forward.

Step 1: Use the mirror in the main room and point it at the top-right symbol. This will open a door to your left.

Step 2: Go into this room and direct the light through the crack in the wall back into the main room.

Step 3: Now shine the main light on the top-left symbol and the right mirror on the middle symbol on the right side to open a door on the right.

Step 4: Go into this room and pick up the mirror and bring it to the empty receptacle in the other open door on the right side of the main chamber to reflect light to the third mirror in the main room.

Step 5: Use the left mirror to hit the bottom-left symbol now.

Step 6: Reposition the middle mirror to aim at the top-right symbol.

Step 7: Aim the right mirror at the middle symbol on the left.

Step 8: Turn the central mirror again, this time to the bottom right.

Step 9: Finally, use the left mirror to hit the middle symbol on the right side.

This will result in all three locks unlocking, and the gate will finally open for you.

A leaked internal memo suggests the next Xbox console, codenamed Project Helix, could play games from every generation the company has ever released. If true, that would make it the largest game library on any console, especially since it's also said to support PC games.

The fate of physical game discs seems to be set in stone, with an all-digital library becoming increasingly inevitable. Microsoft, though, may at least give Xbox owners a way to bring their shelves full of physical games along for the journey.

A leaked Microsoft roadmap sent to game publishers details the planned rollout of Xbox’s Disc-to-Digital program alongside a much larger backwards-compatibility push. The document reportedly targets August for general availability, October for the full launch of original Xbox games on PC, and a gradual Xbox 360 rollout beginning in 2027.

Gaming mice usually let you adjust sensitivity, polling rate, and button assignments through software. Pwnage’s new Vanta goes a step further by letting you physically change how each primary click feels.

The company describes the Vanta as the world’s first lightweight gaming mouse with mechanically adjustable clicks. Turning a pair of screws changes how much force and movement the left and right buttons require, without replacing the switches or adding more electronics.
