Figuring out the symbols 12 hints left
Whew, that was a long and strange detour! With the old man's book, we should be able to figure out which stone tile hides the conspiracy.

What do I need to do?

Return to the chapel and give Frank the old man's book.

Oh no!

Oh yes - another minigame / puzzle, so soon after the first. Remember that it's skippable - if you don't mind missing out on an achievement.

What does this puzzle want?

Its first note says the same symbol should never appear twice in the same column, row, or quadrant. Quadrants are 2x2 squares divided by thick black lines.
From there, it uses a lot of flowery language to describe which symbols should - and should not - appear in various spaces.

How should I begin the puzzle?

It would be easiest to start by filling quadrants that already have two spaces filled; we know they will only feature the remaining two symbols, and can check their rows / columns to deduce which symbol goes where.

What now?

Because we filled in the right side of the grid, the top-left quadrant can now be solved - remember that a symbol cannot appear twice in the same column, row, or quadrant.
