Demian: Demian: The Ritual Puzzles

In this guide, I provided explanations and solutions for the more complicated and confusing puzzles. The other puzzles are straightforward or not too hard to figure out naturally. So, I omitted them.

In Chapter 1, after making the wooden slingshot, you need to use it to get the twin-headed crow to come down from the tree. You need to have the game sound on for this one.
Your goal is to start with the twin-head crow and end with the top antlers crow. You need to pay attention to the sounds the crows make when you click on them and figure out the right order.

In Chapter 2, the combination of the safe depends on the four symbols.
You need to use basic math to solve each symbol. Then, the digits for the safe combination are the number of zeroes of each symbol.
Let’s say the four symbols are w, x, y, and z.

6[w] = 600
So, [w] = 100 = 2 zeroes

9900 = 9.9 [x]
So, [x] = 1000 = 3 zeroes

[w][x] = [y]
So, [y] = 100*1000 = 100000 = 5 zeroes

800[y] = 8[z]
So, [z] = 100[y] = 100*100000 = 10000000 = 7 zeroes

The safe combination is 2357

In Chapter 2, the clock puzzle is simple, but the clock is missing a clock hand.
The missing clock hand is inside a drawer where the two kids are.
We know that a full rotation around a circle is 360 degrees. So, 360 degrees divided by 12 hours is 30 degrees for each hour. Since 12 o’clock is 0 degrees, we start from there.
For the hour’s hand, you need to rotate it 60 degrees clockwise which is 2 o’clock.
For the minute’s hand, you need to rotate it 120 degrees counterclockwise. However, you start from 2 o’clock instead of 12 o’clock. So, the minute’s hand is at 10 o’clock.
Solution: 2:50 or II:X

In Chapter 2, this is the hardest puzzle of the game. You need to click the correct combination of piano keys to solve this puzzle.
The first row of letters represents the piano’s white keys.
Each letter of the second row associates with each letter of the first row.
However, what are those colored numbers and shapes? The immediate assumption is that the key to solving this puzzle might have to do with music. However, it’s something else entirely.
It has to do with the days of a month. More specifically, in printed calendars.
Black numbers are weekdays.
Red numbers are Sundays.
However, more commonly in Japan and a few other Asian countries, blue numbers are Saturdays.
The blue and red boxes are other Saturdays and Sundays in sequence respectively.
Which year do we use though? It’s the year when this game was released.
Your goal is to figure out which month has Saturdays and Sundays with those numbers. It’s April 2020.
Now, you know the 10th day of the month is a weekday,
What do those 3 circles mean though? They’re the key to solving the piano puzzle.
What day of the week is April 10, 2020? It’s Friday.
The 3 circles are actually the first 3 letters of the day of the week for April 10, 2020. So, convert those 3 letters to their associated piano keys.
Solution: FRI = GCF

In Chapter 3, you need to feed the pixie 4 different fruits from the fruit trees.
Count the number of apples, pears, mangos, and grapes. 5 apples, 3 pears, 4 mangos, and 2 grapes
This is the order to feed each fruit to the pixie.
The numbers represent the count of a fruit.
The repetition of each number is the number of times you need to feed the same fruit to the pixie.
Solution: 2x Pears -> 3x Apples -> 1x Grapes -> 4x Mangos -> 1x Pears -> 1x Grapes -> 2x Apples

In Chapter 3, after giving the flowers to the fairy, you get a hint to unlock the lockbox at the beginning of the chapter.
Head over to the tree ghost to the right of a house.
In the hint, a letter is next to each symbol.
Each symbol is next to a word on the wall of the house.
So, find the letter in the word by counting to its position from left to right.
The code is 4253

In Chapter 4, in the priest’s room, you need to unlock the compartment of the podium.
You need to put all 6 books into the compartment.
Now, you need to put the books in the correct order.
If you look at the notes of all the books, you’ll notice a forward slashes (/) at the end of each sentence. The number of slashes is the position to place the book.
