I have no idea if these are completely broken or if there's a mechanic the game simply neglected to mention in any capacity but I have been trying to solve these since yesterday and the only conclusion I can draw is that everything I try achieves nothing.
No combination of switches do anything.
And the journal is completely unhelpful, as the quests only talk about hunting the creatures for Nellie.
So are they broken or what's going on? lol

You're trying to turn on only the switches that have flows leading to the center

None of them reach the center so completely broken it is I guess lol

These quests needs much better direction, it should never be easier to find an exploit around things than it is to understand what you're supposed to do.

Yeah need to send in a bug report on the exploit I found, just need to return to grab a screenshot of it first

I can't figure out where the switches are. I don't see anything that even remotely looks like a switch, I'm afraid.

Get close to the front of the stone and you should see an option to interact.

The how to play page for it goes into some additional detail that should hopefully help

I have gotten right up in front of them, even tried jumping at the runes, no interact prompt.

I'll try to do so in a bit. Had gone back to base before logging out. So it may take a bit to get back there.

For sure, when ever you can it'll be fine ❤️

amusingly, that was much faster to get to than I had considered (probably because I took a different path to it, this time) I have 2 screen shots, taken from the exact same physical position (just changing where I was looking), and the stone in front of me is one of the ones directly connected:

From the looks of the screen shot, you haven't found all the runes above, below and around.

However, ignoring that part some of them look like their water connects, but there's like an inch where it stops before the big center crystal, and that's not what's happening right? That one for sure leads to the crystal?

if so, when you get close to it, there should be an "interact" to move it down, right now it's facing up. Only face down the ones that have waterways leading to the center

peak idol
#

it is one that does have the slight barrier (that circles the entire thing). So I need to go up above? That wasn't clear from the explanation in game.

#

the barrier is on the side with teh statues (the outside of the ring, not the inside)

#

it does connect in the center, just not right at the statue (the tiny gap there with the other material between)

So these puzzles are a three parter, I know this is a help area, but I'll still put it in spoilers in case someone doesn't want all the information:

||1. Find the runes, that will light up the pillars.
2. Follow the water ways and face down the crystals that lead to the center.
3. Press the button to test if it worked.||

New puzzles are rough to figure out the first time, but once you get it, it's smooth sailing haha

#

ok, so the runes are separate than the symbols on the statues themselves?

#

(that's one area which is not clear in the description)

hasty walrus
#

Yeah, the ones on the pillars tell you how many you still need to find.
You're looking for the same things you've seen before, the black and red sound runes that glow blue when touched ❤️

peak idol
#

ok, that makes sense, and will let me figure out the rest...it's one area where they really do need a touch more clarity in their descriptions.

You should make a feedback on it, I can see why they left some secrecy to it, telling you straight out takes away the fun in figuring it out.
But I'm sure they could find a way to word it nicely?

TBH the biggest struggle i've heard on these was people not flipping and following the waterway.
Just assuming it needed a blood sacrifice and pressing the button as many times as there was a pillar

peak idol
#

I'll consider wording suggestions (I actually write stories, and am an active game master as well, so wording things is rather my forte). That way, I can give them not only general feedback, but suggestions they can potentially use 'out of the box'.

I finally figured out what I would offer, and it does include not only slightly clearer instructions, but, as we are dealing with both fae and druids, flavor text which is a reasonably metered rhyme. (admittedly, I haven't done much poetry in ages, so that part may need a bit of adjustment, but it at least kept close to meter and rhyme).

I cant find 2 of the Glyphs on the North NNW Puzzle. I've been all over the structure. There are TWO on the back of BOTH Statues. Still have one to go. OK found on one North Side standing on slanted blocks
