Karma: Curse of the 12 Caves

Entrance

The Cryptic Gate

Step forward and click on the doors to receive your guide, who will turn into a lotus flower. Open the doors and go through, then continue forward through the archway. Step forward again, then turn right and examine the door here - pay attention to the positions of the items here. Back out and now go to the opposite door. Click on the wall here to see the Goddess of Sewing and Embroidery embedded within a gate.

Hover over the very top of the image to see the tip of your cursor turns green. Click here to highlight a segment and notice the number 25 at the bottom left. You must click on adjacent segments to draw the outline of the Goddess, ending back where you started at the top. Click on the gate to open it and head through.

The Coded Portal

Step forward again, then click to view the chamber from above. There are 6 Buddha statues around the edge, facing in different directions. There are 6 numbers indicated by dots in the middle of the puzzle. You must imagine each Buddha sitting in the middle of the puzzle, and work out which number would be in front of them, then set the abacus in front of each Buddha to that value:

You can view the in-game help to see how to set values for an abacus. Once you are done, you will end up proceeding to the lower level. Go through the dark archway and you will see the large stone door close behind you. You will end up looking at a large statue. You can now look around the room to see gates heading off in various directions. Each gate leads to a different cave.

There are two chambers within each cave - you can access the front chambers of the caves in any order, but you cannot access the rear chambers until you have collected various items by solving the puzzles in the front chambers. You will therefore not end up completing the puzzles in the order shown below (which is clockwise order around the room).

Rhythms in the Wind

When you start the puzzle you will hear the sound effects for a series of instruments - pay attention to the sounds and which musician is making them. Now you need to listen to another sequence without visual clues and click on the musicians in the correct order. Repeat this several times to clear the gargoyle faces. The solution to this puzzle is random with each game.

Once you succeed, you will receive a conch horn.
