Activating the fountain10 hints left
You've got the jewel - time to restore the fountain's lovely, shiny eyes.

What now?

Slotting the jewel into the fountain's other eye seems to have activated two pedestals on the totem's right side.

How does that help me?

The pedestal you found earlier acted like a button. Maybe these two do, too?

Woah!

A strange console that would fit a geometric shape nicely - and if you can believe it, a pair of shapes in the dirt nearby.
Use the shapes on the console.

What do I do now?

A 3D puzzle - bet you weren't expecting that! You need to rotate the shapes by pressing and holding left-click until they resemble the shape of the gap. In this case, it's like the letter 'n'.

What's next?

One puzzle solved, another appears. The console is showing a sequence of circular lights, and a stone in the other area has some similar-looking circles you can interact with.

Hmm...

You'll need to memorise the sequence or get into the habit of screenshotting or writing things like this down - there's quite a few memory-based puzzles throughout the game.

Give me the correct sequence.

  1. Top
  2. Bottom-left
  3. Bottom-right
  4. Top-left
  5. Top-right
  6. Middle-left
  7. Middle-right

Hooray!

Don't get too excited - solving it only revealed a sheer drop! You'll need to find a way to get down there safely.

Hmm...

Have you found anything that could help you lower yourself down into the pit?

How do I do that?

Use the rope you found earlier on the sturdy tree-stump nearby. You'll then be able to climb down.
