Screenshot by Destructoid The answer to solving the Cryptex is on the back of the Chess Mat. The code shows seven symbols, each corresponding to how a chess piece moves. The Library offers the key, but you can solve this if you already know how each piece moves around the chess board. Rotate the dials and assign each piece relating to the Chess Mat sequence. Here's the answer:

1. L shape - Knight
2. Horizontal and vertical - Rook
3. Diagonal - Bishop
4. Horizontal, vertical, and diagonal - Queen
5. Small horizontal, vertical, and diagonal - King
6. Forward and diagonal - Pawn
7. L shape - Knight

This will give you the Crown Key to unlock the gate in the north side of the Basement.
