How to unlock the Champollion achievement in Chants of Sennaar - Definitive Guide

Correctly identify all of the glyphs in the game. There are five languages, and something like 186 glyphs.

As you progress through the game, you'll get more information about the various languages and be able to deduce the meanings of glyphs. Read everything, and talk to everyone.

If you're unsure of a meaning, it's worth entering a guess. Even it if it's completely wrong, it helped me when coming up against the same glyph again.

If you're near the end of the game and missing a few glyphs try:
  • visiting the four purple doors, some have lines of text in two languages by them
  • similarly with the 10 terminals
  • the big statue in Level 2 (Fortress). You can rotate this three times using the hamster wheel and lever in the next room. I missed this during my playthrough, and it gave me the last page I needed for the Warrior language.
If you're really struggling, then Aeith on Steam has compiled a very thorough guide to the languages:

I don't think that link goes to where you think it should go.

Thanks - that's weird. Think it cut off a character, have updated the link.

In total, there are 169 glyphs you will need to decode as you make your way up the Tower of Sennaar.  Each language has small nuances when it comes to the pluralization, grammar. phrasing and punctuation that determines how you arrange the glyphs to make a sentence, but the game does a decent job of giving you the information you need to figure most of the lexicon out on your own. If you are struggling, feel free to watch the level walkthroughs throughout this guide:
  • For the 34 glyphs of the Devotees at The Abbey, check out The great escape trophy_bronze.png 
  • For the 33 glyphs of the Warriors in The Frontier, check out A new dawn trophy_bronze.png 
  • For the 35 glyphs of the Bards in The Garden, check out The darkness trophy_silver.png 
  • For the 35 glyphs of the Alchemists in The Galleries, check out One last step trophy_silver.png 
  • Lastly, for the 34 glyphs of the Anchorites, check out the beginning of the video guide in I did it trophy_silver.png 
Once you collect 84 of the cyphers, you should receive Scholar trophy_silver.png and once you finish your lexicon completely, you will receive this trophy
