The hint for the correct pattern is found in Vaha’s Storm. (It’s near the Ancient Weapon Puzzle. NE corner of the 2nd zone. Climb up the side of the wall to the east.)

Image of the hint located in Vaha’s Storm.

Inside Vaha’s Head find a low lying mound of dirt that leads up to a blocky ramp.

After running along the ledge towards the SW corner, you’ll pass a block and can start climbing the tall wall in a NW direction.

Once you reach the very top, keep following the pathway all the way around to the NE corner of Vaha’s Head.

Step onto each circle until a beam of light shoots out and the circle smokes. The order doesn’t change. Take it slowly.

If you step onto a wrong circle, the beam of light will go out.

Interact with the Stellagia after you get the success notice, “You untangle a thread begot by reliving memories lost.”
