In the Hidden Pyramid’s Game Room, solve the Nephilim board in two stages: first turn all four large figures toward the side stash, collect the three pieces inside, then turn the figures toward the statue. The statue reveals the Nephilim map; photograph it to record it.
Where to find the Game Room puzzle
The puzzle is in Sukhothai’s Hidden Pyramid during The Blessed Pearl. After reaching the top and reuniting with Gina, use the two wall handles with her to open the inner passage to the Game Room. Gamepressure’s walkthrough and PowerPyx’s walkthrough place the board in this part of the quest.
How to solve the board
Stage 1: Open the side stash
- Look at the board: one game piece is already in place. Pick up the two loose pieces in the alcove beside it. You can also photograph the board for an Adventure Note and reveal a nearby wall inscription.
- Keep the original piece on the board and place the two alcove pieces in the first-stage pattern shown in the linked guide diagrams. The four large figures will turn toward the side panel.
- When the panel opens, remove all three pieces inside. Do this before changing the board: the stash closes when the board is altered again.
The walkthroughs show the exact first-stage arrangement in images rather than providing a reliable slot-by-slot text description. See the diagrams in Gamepressure’s guide or GamesRadar’s guide if you need to match each slot precisely.
Stage 2: Reveal the map
- Use all six pieces—the original, the two from the alcove, and the three from the stash—in the second-stage pattern shown in the guide diagrams.
- Turn all four large figures toward the statue at the front of the room. The statue moves and reveals the Nephilim map.
- Photograph the map to record it, then continue.
For the second arrangement, use the image diagrams in GamesRadar’s guide or PowerPyx’s walkthrough; their text does not reliably specify every board slot.
#1 Best Overall
- Two-Sided Game Board
- New Version
- Two explorers embark on research journeys to remote corners of the world: the Himalayan mountains, the Central American rainforest, the Egyptian desert, a mysterious volcano, and the bottom of the sea
- The rules of the game are simple, but beware: The Lost Cities hold many unseen mysteries!
How the Nephilim board works
Placing a weighted piece changes the direction of large figures next to it. Only figures directly beside a piece horizontally or vertically are affected; diagonal proximity does not count. The cited walkthroughs describe activated figures rotating counterclockwise. Align all four figures toward the relevant target to trigger the stash or statue mechanism. Heros Web’s guide and PowerPyx’s walkthrough explain this adjacency rule.
