How To Solve The Coin Puzzle

Coin Puzzle in Light Difficulty

"Three bright coins, three actors in play,

and under the tree, the Maiden dared lay.

And behind the Maiden, where she would not know,

with no one nearby, a Flower would grow.

And then came the Man, so gallant and fine,

in the pale moonlight light did his golden eyes shine."

All right, from this, we can deduce that the Woman Coin is the center. The Snake Coin will go to the right, flipped on its flower side, and at the left, we will place the Man Coin. So, it's Man – X – Woman – X – Flower.

"The Man draws his Blade, and she froze in fear,

for she did not know the Serpent drew near."

The order stays the same here; you just flip the coin to the preferred side. The Man gets flipped to a sword, and the Flower gets flipped to the snake. So, it's Sword – X – Woman – X – Snake.

"The venomous beast is now lost to the night,

the grand chevalier's grand despair in daylight,

and under the tree, where the Maiden dared lay,

a memory now lies, confined to a Grave."

This time around, we'll be shifting the Man Coin to the extreme left. After we flip it, we'll move the Snake Coin to the extreme left on the Snake side. So, it's Snake—X—Grave—X—Man.

" The Beast who its teeth in her flesh doth bore,

He who has failed, She who is no more.

Now you pass the judgment on figures of play,

Which here is the sinner, which carries the blame?"

Depending on how you feel, you can move a Coin up the slot; it really is up to you. After completing it, you should get your desired Apartment 201 key, which is vital for the progression of the game.

Coin Puzzle in Standard Difficulty

"Three bright coins in the five holes be,

first sits the Maiden underneath the tree.

The wind from behind the Maiden doth blow,

a beautiful Flower alone has to grow.

And here comes the Man, so sleek and so fine,

in the pale moonlight his eyes doth shine."

From this, we know that to place the Woman coin in the middle, we'll place the Man on the extreme left and the Snake Coin on the extreme right
