NGH
The Head Puzzle 8 hints left
One of the many bizarre rooms down here holds seven animal heads, and a wall featuring six cranks. How strange.

I probably shouldn't touch these.

Your survival instinct is impeccable, but it's probably safe - weren't heads mentioned in the journal?

What did the journal say?

"All eyes must face towards the Seventh Archontic!"

How does that help me?

In a very cryptic way, it seems to imply that the heads should all be facing the goat in the centre.
Get cranking!

A slight problem.

The second crank seems to be jammed.
You'll need to find something that can lubricate it to get it working again.

What am I looking for?

A slick liquid that is used to keep machinery working smoothly; check out the various corridors and other rooms.
You'll also need to use the small pot to hold this liquid.

Tell me what to do.

Right outside the head-room, a substance that appears to be oil is spilled all over the ground.
Scoop it into the small pot and use it to get the second crank working.

A ghastly sight.

The sixth crank has a severed hand on it - yikes!
Waste not want not, though; take the hand and get the final head in position.

What now?

The goat's head opened up to reveal a strange artifact; be sure to grab it.
Don't forget to take whatever was shining inside of the dog's mouth before you leave.
