The Creator Ruins: Present

Return to the garden and talk to Sapphira for your reward. Now it's time to kill the guardian golems. All of the golems are level 18 and are immune to everything but what you chose in the past. Once they are dead, it's time to solve the Old One's puzzles. The solutions to all of the puzzles can be found in the On Temple Defensesmanual that you (hopefully) picked up in the past. Before you solve the puzzles, grab Tamoryn's song for Sharwyn. It's in a sarcophagus in an eastern room of the ruins. If you plan on using Eltoora's lab, you'll find the Tome of the Amulet in a book pile in the northeast.

The Smoke Puzzle

The smoke puzzle is located in the southeast of the ruins. Take the powder from the alchemist's apparatus, then examine the smoky brazier nearby. You'll need to place the powder in the brazier in the order specified by the gems on the brazier.

Place a red powder vial and a yellow powder vial in the brazier. Next, place a blue powder vial and a red powder vial in the brazier. Finally, put a yellow powder vial and a blue powder vial in the brazier. You are now the master of smoke!

The Sound Puzzle

A bodak champion (15th-level undead/5th-level fighter) guards the sound puzzle. Kill him, and take the fairy bottle from his corpse. Free the fairy, and it will show you the pattern. There are eight notes in all and four gongs. Using the directional location to denote the gongs, the order is as follows: SE, NE, SW, NW, SW, NE, NW, SE. Once you play the gongs in the correct order, the fairy will vanish, and you will be the master of sound.

The Light Puzzle

The light puzzle is the easiest of the three. Look in the Pool of Swirling Color and take the gems. Next, look in the Pool of Primary Colors. Press any of the gems. Look in the other Pool of Primary Colors, and press another gem. Now, you must place the appropriate gem in each of the Pools of Secondary Colors. The appropriate gem is whatever color would be created by mixing the colors you chose in the Pools of Primary Colors. So if you pushed blue and red, place the purple gems in the Pools of Secondary Colors. If you pushed blue and yellow, place the green gems. If you pressed red and yellow, place the orange gems.

The Word of Power

In the southernmost room in the ruins, you'll find an altar. The puzzles unlocked the seal, and you can grab the Word of Power once you get past the powerful Balor guardian. Haedraline will appear again and tell you more about who she is and why she is trying to help you. Now it's time to look for the third Word of Power.
