Walkthrough

Fix the Amulet

Collect the four amulet shards and Ruby's ring around the Sacred Grove and repair the amulet.

  1. At the fountain on the left, tap the white petal wedged in the side of the basin until it comes loose (no tool is needed; it may take a second tap). Petal 2/2.
  2. Take the machete from the hand of the hooded statue on the right; she used to hold a torch.
  3. At the altar, take amulet shard 1/4 from the rim and Ruby's ring from the deer's wreath.
  4. At the burrow among the roots of the big tree take the torch, cut the branches with the machete and take the diadem and shard 2/4.
  5. Put the torch in the statue's hand and light it with the fire starter. Take the horn the light reveals, then put the diadem on her head and take shard 3/4 from her hand.
  6. Fit the horn into the socket on the fountain rim to divert the water and take shard 4/4.
  7. Open the broken amulet and set the four shards in it. Thalia asks for an item Ruby values: use the amulet on Ruby's ring to make the magic ring.
  8. Add both white petals to the broken artifact in inventory (the one from the oak-leaf hollow; it still needs one more part).
Puzzle

Break Ruby's Curse

Token board of colored symbol tokens, some split, beside the cursed deer
Ruby's curse token puzzle at the start (your board may differ).

Eliminate all but one token by chaining tokens with matching symbols (split tokens match either symbol). Pick a starting token; moves go horizontally, vertically or diagonally.

  1. Cut the vine bonds on the deer with the magic sickle and give her the magic ring.
  2. Plan a chain before you start: each move lands on a token sharing a symbol and removes the token you left, so use split tokens to switch between symbol groups and avoid stranding isolated tokens. Finish with one token left. Your board may differ.
  3. Ruby thanks her father and gives you the purple crystal. Add it to the artifact.
Puzzle

Defeat Dakmor

Tangled network of numbered nodes over the Sacred Grove, with Dakmor's taunt at the top
The final line-crossing puzzle at the start.

Arrange the numbers so each one's lines cross other lines exactly as many times as the number says. Drag a number to move it.

  1. Dakmor appears beside the stone circle. Use the finished artifact on him to start the puzzle.
  2. Untangle the network: start with the 0, moving it where none of its lines cross anything, then drag the 2s and 3s until every node shows the right number of crossings (solved image).
    The network rearranged so each node's lines cross as many times as its number
    Solved: every number matches its count of crossings.
Ending
