Throwback to Gargoyles

Throwback to solving the vulture/gargoyle heads in Legend of the Crystal Skull! I admit, this puzzle gave me a hard time. I had to constantly check my progress and I had low patience for it. >_< Have you solved this mystery yet? It’s a good one to play in the dark. You can get this […]

Shooting Locations: Forest Trails
