How To:

• Pick up the Abyssal Pearl at each NPC and carry it to a matching color sphere to draw a path.

Southward Travels

Speak to Yeonhwa then interact with “Worn Device”

LMB to “Crank Left” two times until the gate is open and follow Yeonhwa inside.

Locate the two Brazier on each side of some steps leading to a hallway with a closed gate.

Memorize the symbols above the two Brazier.

Interacting with any of the 6 objects called “Torch” surrounding the central “Brazier” allows you to take some kindling.

Interact with the middle “Brazier” to light the kindling you just obtained.

After lighting the Brazier, watch carefully the symbol that illuminates for a very short time before the flame goes out.

If the symbol matches either of the symbols you memorized near the steps, then take the kindling to the matching Brazier by the stairs.

Also remember the location of the Torch, whose kindling doesn’t show any symbol, but keeps the middle Brazier lit. This torch will need to be used to light the middle Brazier after the two Brazier by the steps are lit first.

Drieghan Crest
(royal symbol)

Part 2

The gate will open when all 3 Braziers are lit. Follow Yeonhwa through the next rooms.

Yeonhwa will run to a room that has a large circle with a glowing symbol embedded in the wall called, “Ator’s Lungs”. It’s behind Yeonhwa, who is facing the doorway this puzzle unlocks.

Memorize the shape displayed inside Ator’s Lungs and visit the matching room to pick up its artifact. Bring it back to Ator’s Lungs. The artifact will be in a glowing circle on the floor.

You will have to do this four times for four different symbols.

A row of red rings is used to display your progress in this puzzle. With each memory test you win, one red ring will turn yellow. When all 5 rings are yellow, the Black Cat will spawn.

Two ancient weapons will spawn inside the room. Memorize them before they disappear.

After the 2 disappear, then two more will spawn, 1 inside each rock circle. Stand on the circle/ancient weapon that did NOT spawn previously. If you selected the right creature, you win the 1st round and the game proceeds to the 2nd round.

Each successive round gets more challenging as they increase the number of ancient weapons you must memorize each time.

Answer correctly 3-5 times and you win.

Rhutums Strike Back

Speak to the Rhutum Wizard then follow him inside the fort and speak to him again.

While the quest giver is busy at the spheres, stand in front of the Gateway. Interact with the gateway to turn ON the blue neon seal when you see a group of 4-5 Rhutums spawn outside and walk towards you. These evil Rhutums will be revealed by the Gateway as they pass through, transforming them into hideous monsters. Quickly kill the evil monsters.

After you kill the group of evil monsters, a group of 2 Rhutum Wizards will spawn outside the gate. They come in groups of 2, hold staffs, and look just like the quest NPC. Interact with the gateway to turn OFF the blue neon seal so the wizards can pass through without being disintegrated.

Only allow Rhutum Wizards to reach the quest giver.

When you have 5 Rhutum Wizards inside, you win.

Speak to the Rhutum Wizard quest giver again to finish the game and spawn the Black Cat.

Approach the circular platform to begin the puzzle. Several metal balls will spawn around the circular platform. Move back a bit so you have a wider view of the area surrounding the platform.

Watch the order the beam of light hits the balls. Use the numbers 1-7 to represent the 7 balls and mark the numbers on your paper as the beam of light hits them in a circular pattern until all the balls have been recorded. 

Starting with the first beamed ball that you marked on your paper, number 1, pick it up and carry it to the platform until it lights up and absorbs the ball. Do the same with ball #2, in order all the way through 7.
