I don't understand the clues in the Lost Dialogue to align the different stones.
Can anybody please explain them to me?
Which part are you at? For one, it's rather easy to try all configurations, there are not that many.
The trick is that they are relative. The first stone (sunstone) is indicated by saying where the sun should go. The worldstone is usually indicated such that "the tail horns are reddened by the setting sun" etc, indicating that the horns should match with the sundown symbol.
Final entrance yielded only to contrary minds - i.e. for the last puzzle (entering Atlantis itself) do it all properly, then rotate all disks 180 degrees to get it backwards.
It's the final puzzle, I believe, and it says something along the lines of: "darkest night will soon fall on the western sea".Ã,Â
My way of thinking was to set the sunstone to darkness, the moonstone to waning, and the world stone to western sea.Ã, Ã, It didn't work so I thought maybe the "soon" comment implied that it was not yet night so I rotated the sunstone to setting sun.Ã, I've tried lots of variations but just cannot get it.Ã, I think I fluked out the last time I played.
Is the tailhorns always the reference point to align to?

No, that's wrong. The sunstone should be aligned as earlier, whatever that clue was (it's randomly picked per each new game). Then you must align the part of the sunstone depicting "midnight" with the part of the worldstone that depicts the "western sea".
(also, that's not the final puzzle. There are four puzzles: one disc, two discs, three discs, and three discs backwards, in that order)
Let me see if I understand this.
Align the sunstone according to the first clue wrt the tailhorns, the moonstone according to the second wrt the sunstone, and the worldstone according to the third wrt the sunstone or moonstone.
Is that correct?

Exactly.
Awesome. Thank you for your help.
