Thanos is the problem now – not Grigor. Thanos is always watching.

Figure out who is behind the fakes:

Go to the workshop via the museum entrance.

Hear an upset Niobe and a threatening Thanos. Niobe breaks the pots she created. Thanos leaves.

Automatically talk to Niobe. It is not about money but about survival. Thanos knows that Nancy knows about the forgeries.

The real art will be taken before the show is over.

Niobe left something that will help Nancy but she dropped it on stage.

See what Niobe left on stage:

Go to the stage. Check the stool behind the 2 stone column left of the lift door.

Look around the judges thrones.

Find the judges eight stones:

Cage:    Go back to Tartarus. Thanos escaped!

Pick up the marbles from the ground close to the light fixture.

Figure out what’s inside the 3 judges’ trunk:

Scale puzzle:

Look close at the scale. This is the first line of Grigor’s seed note.

Weigh 3 black and 3 whites on each pan.

Press the judge button.

If equal, weight the other kept 2 marbles.

If the 3 marbles are unequal. Weigh the heavy 3 marbles. Keep one of the marbles and weigh the other 2. If the 2 weighed stones are equal the third kept one is the heavy one.

Place the heavy marble on the slot at right.

The judges’ trunk opens.

Letter:    The letter talks about Niobe and her debts; Grigor and his connections. Looks like Thanos and Xenia are in on this together. They have Niobe and Grigor controlled. They plan to place the missing items in Melina’s office.

There’s an empty box of Grigor’s seal.

Blueprint:    Look at the plan of the item delivery during the show.

The colored circles indicate the colors of the adjoining tiles. All tiles must be filled.

– Tiles with one hint color mean all adjoining tiles are that color.

– All adjoining tiles must share a hint color.

– Continue working around the clues and empty tiles.

If you make 6 mistakes, the step you’re standing on is removed and you fall in to the river of fire.

Fill up the empty spaces first.

Then fill up the ones with seeds but surrounded by a hint color.

The seed colors inside the hexagons are not important but the seed colors of the adjacent hexagons are.

Start with red seeds, then yellow, pink and lastly brown.
