The Crypt is the fourth and final room inside Dracula's Castle in Escape Simulator 2, and it earns its hard difficulty rating. You start hanging upside down, and the exit only opens after you collect 6 skulls through 14 distinct puzzles spread across two connected areas. The whole run takes roughly 20 to 30 minutes if you know what you're doing. This guide breaks down every solution in order, so you can move through the room without losing momentum.
Clock puzzle starting position
Fall that Frees puzzle کو کیسے حل کریں؟
You begin the Crypt suspended from the ceiling, upside down, staring at a strange clock. The clock has two hands you can rotate, and three numbered symbol clues are painted on the surrounding walls and floor. Each clue shows a large outer shape (the big hand target) and a smaller shape inside it (the small hand target).
Here's what each numbered clue tells you:
- 1: Big hand points to Triangle, small hand points to Circle
- 2: Big hand points to Semicircle, small hand points to X
- 3: Big hand points to Cross, small hand points to Tear
Set the hands to match each symbol pair in sequence and you'll drop to the floor, free to explore.
info
Look up, to the right, and down while still hanging to spot all three symbol clues before touching the clock. It saves you from rotating back and forth.
Eternal Arms puzzle کو کیسے حل کریں؟
On the ground sits a chest labeled ETERNUS with three sliders showing a sword, helmet, and shield. Your job is to find the physical versions of each item in the room and check which letter on each one appears upside down.
- Sword: On the statue holding a lantern on the left wall. The upside-down letter is R.
- Helmet: On the steps near the hanging coffin. The upside-down letter is T.
- Shield: Hanging on the wall near the Hands of Judgment. The upside-down letter is N.
Set the sliders to R, T, N and the chest opens to give you a Gold Sphere.
Hands of Judgment puzzle کو کیسے حل کریں؟
Three stone hands protrude from a wall. Place the Gold Sphere from the Eternus chest into the hand that points toward it. The other two hands now point in different directions around the room, guiding you to the remaining two Gold Spheres.
- One sphere sits in an alcove below a painting to the left of the gate.
- The second is hidden inside a vase near the gate. Drop the vase to break it and collect the sphere.
Place all three spheres in the three hands and a Key drops down.
Contours of the Lands puzzle کو کیسے حل کریں؟
Pick up the Old Box sitting beneath the hanging coffin. Inside, a triangular planchette on the right side of the box controls which portion of a scrambled map appears in the circular lens on the left. You need to complete the full map image.
The lens has two positions (click it to toggle between them):
- Bottom lens position: Align with the top right corner of the map
- Top lens position: Align with the bottom left corner of the map
Once both sections complete the map, a second Key appears inside the box.
Gated Fame puzzle کو کیسے حل کریں؟
Take both keys to the locked cage in the alcove to the right of the hanging coffin. Use one key on each padlock to open the cage. Inside you'll find another Key and a Gem.
Eye of Revelation puzzle کو کیسے حل کریں؟
Place the Gem into the slot on the central lectern. The panel flips and reveals the Mysterious Eye. Take it.
Now use the Key from the cage on the panel attached to the left concrete fixture securing one of the chains on the hanging coffin. Inside is a Scroll and a tile-sliding puzzle. Hold the Mysterious Eye up to the glowing paintings around the room to decode the symbol language (yellow symbols are numbers, red are nouns, green shows direction), then read the Scroll to understand the required tile arrangement.
The first puzzle solution reads:
- Man Beside Sword
- Shield Beside Man
- Man Below Helmet
- Tree Below Sun
Arrange the tiles to satisfy all four conditions. A new Key appears when the chain breaks.
danger
Pin the Scroll to your screen before moving the tiles. The conditions are easy to forget mid-puzzle and the Eye only works while you're holding it.
Revelation's Shadow puzzle کو کیسے حل کریں؟
Use the new Key on the second concrete fixture on the right side of the hanging coffin. Another tile puzzle appears with a fresh Scroll to decode using the same Mysterious Eye method.
The second puzzle solution reads:
- Apple Underneath Tree
- Key Between Two Apples
- Moon Between Five Stars
- Vampire Above Man
Solving this drops the hanging coffin to the floor and yields a Key to the gate leading into the second room.
Puzzle overview: room one vs room two
Radiant Bond puzzle کو کیسے حل کریں؟
Entering room two, turn left immediately. Grab the Stake from the leather bag on the floor and pick up the Note from the barrel nearby. On the table is a small knight figurine you can slide across the surface. Moving it creates a ray of light.
Your goal is to position the knight so the light beam travels from the red gem above the table, through the wall opening, and connects to the glowing base of the Eternus Sword statue in room one. The path starts toward the top right and extends to the bottom left.
Once connected, pull the lever at the statue's base in room one. You'll collect a Skull and a second Stake.
Radiant Bond light path solution
Knight's Passage puzzle کو کیسے حل کریں؟
On the right side of the doorway between the two rooms is a jumbled image of a knight split into three rotating sections. The three control dials are on the room two side of the wall.
Each dial rotates a different section of the image, but the body and feet sections have inner and outer rings that can rotate independently. Use the sliding lock on the front panel to freeze one ring while rotating the other.
Work through the sections in this order:
- Head: Rotate the top dial to the diagonal left angle
- Body: Rotate the middle dial left then down to align the inner image, slide the lock over the top, then rotate up
- Feet: Rotate the bottom dial to the lower-left diagonal until the inner black line aligns with the lock, lock it in place, rotate down, unlock, then rotate to the upper-left diagonal
Fixing the full knight image raises the dial panel and reveals a Skull. Place it on the label marked Tomas the Unbreathing.
warning
Don't rush the body and feet sections. If you rotate without locking the inner ring first, both rings move together and you'll need to reset your progress.
Whispers in the Smoke puzzle کو کیسے حل کریں؟
At the back of room two, on top of a crate, is a box containing a Rotary Lockbox with four symbol sliders. The paper pinned to the nearby wall is your reference, but the actual solution comes from the Incense Pot on the floor.
Pick up the incense and carry it to each floor vent in the room. Smoke rises from a corresponding ceiling vent with a different symbol. Match each floor symbol to its ceiling partner:
- Eye pairs with Xs
- Hourglass pairs with Wings
- Circle pairs with Hand
- Horns pairs with Snake
Set the four sliders on the Rotary Lockbox to reflect these pairings and it opens to give you a Stake.
For a more detailed breakdown of this puzzle's symbol pairings, the Escape Simulator 2 Crypt guide on Into Indie Games has clear reference images for each vent position.
Nail in the Coffin puzzle کو کیسے حل کریں؟
You need all three stakes and the Note from the barrel near the room two entrance. The Note shows a diagram of the coffin in room one with three marked positions.
Go to the intact coffin in room one and insert the stakes into the correct holes:
- Second hole, right side
- Third hole, left side
- Fifth hole, right side
The lid explodes off and you collect a Skull from inside.
Hell's Bells puzzle کو کیسے حل کریں؟
Seven bells hang in room two with a plaque on the floor beneath them. The plaque explains that each bell has an "ancestor," and you must ring them from eldest to youngest. Ringing a bell out of order causes all its elders to ring simultaneously as a penalty signal.
The correct ringing order is:
- Top middle
- Bottom second from left
- Bottom first on left
- Bottom first on right
- Top right
- Top left
- Bottom second from right
The floor beneath the bells rises and a Skull appears underneath. This one belongs to Vlad the Impaled.
Council of the Night puzzle کو کیسے حل کریں؟
With all six skulls collected, head to the gate at the far end of room two. Each slot has a name label. Inspect each skull in your inventory to identify who it belongs to, then place it in the matching slot.
The six vampires and their skull placements:
- Gregory Cyclops: The skull found at the top of the stairs
- Vlad the Impaled: From the Hell's Bells puzzle
- Karl Sharptooth: From beneath the Eternus Sword statue
- Boris the Steelboned: The skull that was already sitting on Karl's label (needs to be moved)
- Tomas the Unbreathing: From the Knight's Passage puzzle
- Count Dracula: From the Nail in the Coffin puzzle
Place all six correctly and the gate lifts. You're out.
info
The skull already sitting on a label when you arrive in room two belongs to Boris the Steelboned, not Karl. Move it to the correct spot before placing Karl's skull or you'll waste time backtracking.
For a full breakdown of every collectible token hidden throughout this room, the Neoseeker Escape Simulator 2 Crypt guide covers each puzzle piece location in detail, including the one hidden inside the Cyclops skull and another buried in the dirt on the coffin steps.
The Crypt is the densest room in Dracula's Castle, but once you understand that the two rooms feed into each other (stakes from room two open the coffin in room one, light from room two activates room one's statue), the logic clicks.
