When this set of letters is lined up to the filigree, it shows: INCRE. Continuing this pattern will reveal the following set of letters:
* INCRE
* MENTA
* LLYNE
* XTSET
* RYDWN
This is a sentence which spells out: SHIFT INCREMENTALLY NEXT SET. The next set of letters it refers to is RYDWN.<br>
To shift incrementally would be to shift each letter incrementally, such that:
* R + 1 → S
* Y + 2 → A
* D + 3 → G
* W + 4 → A
* N + 5 → S

Giving the final answer to part 2.
