This is a very difficult and time consuming puzzle. There are 2 achievements for this puzzle. One achievement for finding and completing it and another for completing it in 15 minutes. This can be done in a group and the best part is once the chest is out every member can quickly loot it. This saves some work for some members of the group.
Upon ariving at the puzzle location (noted above) you will see a rusty lever hidden by a pile of building slabs and some rubble. Click the rusty lever and be teleported to the begining of the puzzle. This puzzle is a floating cube maze in the sky. The object of this puzzle is to make your way through the maze and collect the chest at the end. Sounds easy right? There is a small catch to it though. You must collect 10 keys along the way. Still sounds easy right? There is one more catch to this maze puzzle. In order to collect those keys you must first complete mini puzzles for each key. It's best to take your time the first time you do this puzzle so that you can manuver around the puzzle easier. Remember its an achievement just to complete it so no need to rush your first time though. I will walk you though this puzzle step by step the best I can. I will post pictures for you to visually see things and will create and work on a video to post, but the video will come later on. All keys you collect will remain in your bags until you either finish the puzzle, or you destroy the keys. This is great because some people get frustrated easily and must walk away from the puzzle. Just remember you have to have the keys in your bag to complete the final part of this puzzle. Also remember that each chest that needs looted for the key will disappear after so long, so it is always best to try and be quick at collecting your keys.
Once at the top of the main puzzle you will see two plaques on the wall, a rusty lever and a clock. The clock is for those who are trying for the 15 minute achievement. You can not click the clock if you have already collected any of the keys, and you can not click the clock once you are at the end of the puzzle either. Notice the two open passages at the end of the walkway. You will need to take the very last one to get to the first key.
Mini Puzzle #1: Torch Lights- Upon turning down that passage way you will see wall with a plaque on it. This wall can be passed through. Once on the other side pan your camera so that you are looking down on yourself and zoom out. Notice the different torches on the walls. Remember their colors and the order they are in. You will need this information to complete the first mini puzzle. There is also an opening of water in that same area. You must navigate your way down through that watery opening and drop down into a chamber. In that chamber you will see the same torches as above. Starting at the end where the rusty lever is click each torch to match the same color pattern as the torches you saw after passing through the wall on the surface. Successfully matching the torches will spawn a chest at the end of the chamber where the rusty lever is located. Run down the chamber and loot the chest. You will recieve "Amazing Key 1" upon looting the chest. After recieving your key pull the rusty lever and a fan type platform will appear at the end of the chamber. Run down and jump on the platform. This will bounce you back up into the watery corridor you first dropped down from. Make your way back up to the surface and out through the wall. You have just completed your first mini puzzle and looted your first key. Only 9 more keys to go.
Make your way to the end of that passage way and turn right. Head down the next passage way over. This is the passage you need to make your way to the second mini puzzle. At the end of that passage way you will notice an opening of water, an opening to your left and a rooom straight across with a rusty lever in it. You must jump across the opening of water and pull the lever. Then quickly run and jump diagonal into the next open passage way and go around the corner and swim down the now open water way. You must be quick for the water opening will only stay open for short time. Once you are in the the watery area you can pan your camera downwards. You will notice two parts of the walls look like watery openings. You want to take the very first one closest to you. Be careful going through that water so you don't fall off the edge. There is rusty lever there that you can not click on yet. There is also a plaque on the wall next to the water. You will need to carefully make your way to the edge of the landing you are on and drop down to the landing below you. (I did this in walk mode and tip toed to the edge) Once on the lower landing you will see a large opening and some water. You must jump over the opening and go to the end of that walkway. You will take the smaller of the two water walls.
Mini Puzzle #2: Levers- Once inside the wall of water swim up and around to drop down into another chamber. In this chamber are 4 large levers that you will need to click on. Notice by the first lever you see on the right is a room with the rusty lever inside and a plaque. This is where the chest will appear when it spawns. You must navigate your way through the maze of halls to find and click each of the 4 levers. You must do this quickly for the levers will only stay in the on position for a short time. Once you have successfully clicked each large lever in the on position your chest will spawn in the room by the first lever. Quickly run and loot your "Amazing Key 2." After collecting your key pull the rusty lever. A fan type platform will spawn under the watery opening you dropped down from. Jump on the platform and bounce back up into the water. Navigate back to the begining of that area and exite the water wall you first entered.
After exiting the water wall to the second mini puzzle make your way back up to the opening you had to first jump over when you dropped down. Go into the water way and swim back up to the first water entrance with the rusty lever that you were not able to click the first time around. This is the tricky part. Once you are on that landing you must pull the rusty lever. As quickly as you can drop down to the landing below and jump all the way across the landings making your way to the opening at the end. You must do this quickly cause the landings will disappear if you are to slow forcing you to swim back up and try again. Once you have made it to the opening at the end of the landings drop down. Follow that passage and drop down again. Notice the rusty lever on the wall to your left. Facing that lever give it a pull and back in through the passible wall behind you and turn left. Jump on the fan type platform and bounce up into the watery opeining above it.
Mini Puzzle #3: Around and Around- Once you are inside the watery opeing above the fan swim up and around. You will see a passage with an opening in the middle and a corner at the end. Swim down that opening in the middle (do not go straight). Continue following that passage way until you see a large water wall. Just before going through that water wall turn left. You will notice a plaque on the wall and some orbs that light up. The object of this mini puzzle is to follow the lighted orbs down the hallway and up and then back up the hallway making an oval. You must do this several times around and a chest will spawn in the center of the top hallway. Looting tthis chest will give you "Amazing Key 3." After collecting your third key you can now exit through the large water wall.
Go to the end of that walkway and drop down, then drop down again. Notice the large open area. Carefully make your way around the first corner and over to the next. There is a lever in the next corner that you will need to pull. Pulling the rusty lever will spawn a fan type platform that you can use to jump up into the watery opening above it. This water way leads to the next mini puzzle. Remember this area as you swim around you will need to return to it in order to complete the mini puzzle. Halfway up the watery shaft you entered from the fan platform is a passage way. Go down that passage and make your way to the surface. After jumping out of the watery passage head down the hallway and swim down the water way at the end. Swim your way to the water wall and go out. (careful not to fall when you exit the water) and drop down. Go into the water wall at the end of the walkway. This is the entrance of the next mini puzzle.
Mini Puzzle #4: Lighting the Lamps- Once you enter the water wall swim all the way down the corridor and then swim up. You will see some unlit lanterns in 4 different spots. Mouse over each one to display the color torch you need to find to light that lantern. Finding these torches is a challenge to itself. After investigating the lamps carefully make your way back out of that location and up to the first area that you were in after jumping on the fan platform. Once you are in the exact location that you first entered swim all the way up there are two torches in that area that are needed for the lamps. The Red torch and the Green torch. Once you are at the top swim down the hallway all the way to the end. Then swim up thhrough the ceiling and to the right you will see the red torch. You can only hold one torch at a time so after collecting a torch make your way back to the lamp room and light the correct lamp. Then make your way to another torch. The lamps will stay light for a couple minutes so you must be quick. After lighting the red lamp make your way back to the same area as the red torch and find the green torch. Try to remember where these torches are for your next run. If you are in a group you can each run to the torch locations and collect one. This will help make the mini puzzle go quicker. The Purple and Blue torches are on the same level and area as the lamps. If doing this solo save these for last. Upon successfully lighting all 4 lamps the chest will spawn on the floor. Looting this chest will give you the "Amazing key 4." After looting your key make the left turn and go to the end of the passage way then swim up. There is a room with the rusty lever you need to move on. Pull the lever and exit through the water wall that will appear opposite the lever.
Once through the water wall you will be standing on a landing. After a few seconds the landing will disappear dropping you down to another landing. Swim down the hallway and you will enter another Lever room. This is mini puzzle number 5.
Mini Puzzle #5: Not More Levers- Upon entering the lever room you will see two large levers on your left and two on your right. Depending on your graphics these 4 levers will have a colored light associated with it (red, blue, green, purple). Notice under the two levers on your left is a passage way. If you go through there you will see a rusty lever on the left, a large water wall straight ahead and an empty space on the right. The empty space is where your chest will spawn. Position yourself in a spt level with the levers yet also able to click each one without moving. The object is to flip all 4 levers in the on position. They do reset after a few seconds so you must be quick. I have tried several different ways of doing this and I have found that if if clicked the second lever on the left (Blue Lever) then clicked the second one on the right (Red Lever) followed by the first lever on the left (Green Lever) and ending with the first lever on the right (Purple Lever) this mini puzzle was easy to complete. Not sure if this works every time but I have managed to do this a couple times using this technique. After all the levers are in the on position swim down and get your chest. Upon looting the chest you will recieve "Amazing Key 5." Pull the rusty lever across from the chest and swim back out to the levers and in the opposit corner from the chest room is a now open waterway. Swim down through the watery opening. You must be quick at getting to the waterway cause it will close after a short time. Congratulations on making it this far! You are now half way done with this puzzle.
Once you drop down through the waterway you will see a wall with a rusty lever on it. Pull this lever and quickly yet carefully make your way around the corner to a fan platform and jump on it. Swim all the way up the watery shaft to the top and out the water wall. Make your way to the end of the short hallway and round the corner. Notice two water walls. One at the far end and one beside a plaque. Position yourself right infront of the plaque. This is the fun part and the start of the next mini puzzle.
Mini Puzzle #6: Having Fun- Once you are infront of the plaque in the corridor open your chat box. Type in the chat box /clap. A beam of light will appear. Type /silly and a second beam of light will appear. Type /cheer and a third beam of light will appear. Finally type /dance and your final beam of light will appear. Quickly enter the water passage next to the plaque and loot your chest. Looting this chest will give you "Amazing key 6." Make your way back out into the corridor and go to the end of the hallway and enter the far water passage. Swim up and go down the passage way. Take the first turn on your left down that hall and go through the water way.
Notice the rusty lever on the wall upon exiting the water way. Pull this lever and quickly jump on the landings and follow it around the corner. Be sure to be quick cause the landings will disappear if you are to slow. Dont worry if this happens. There is a lever below you on a wall that you can pull and be taken back to the same spot without having to go through the whole puzzle again. At the end of the landings is a water way on the right. Go through it. Swim all the way up to the top and out the water way. This is where the next mini puzzle is located.
Mini Puzzle #7: Catch Me if You Can- Upon exiting the water you will go down a short hallway. To the right of the hallway is a room with your rusty lever in it. To the left is a large open space with two Water openings. (one smaller then the other) You will also notice a chest in the one corner (this is not your loot chest). Once you are close to the chest it will magically port. You must chase this chest around quickly. It will port 15 times. The order it ports will be the same each time so if possible try to remember the pattern. After completing the 15th porting of the chest jump into the larger of the two water ways and swim down to the corner closest to the lever room and collect your chest. Looting this chest will give you "Amazing Key 7." Make your way back to the surface and out of the water. Run over to the lever room and pull the lever. Run back over to the larger of the two water ways and in the corner opposite the chest corner swim down. You must be quick or the opening will close. Swim down the shaft and back up the other side and out the water wall.
*You have made it this far. As you can well see by now there is a lot to this puzzle. So much to remember and do. Keep in mind you can take a break at any point during the puzzle and return as long as the keys are in your bag. If you take a break and want to work on something else feel free to set your collected keys in your bank. This will keep them safe and clear up space in your bags. Just remember to take them back out again before you continue on with the puzzle*
Mini Puzzle #8: Shield Me- Upon exiting the water wall from the mini puzzle #7 turn left and take a step the trun left again and go through the water wall. Go down the passage way and make a left turn. You will enter a room full of shields. This room is very time consuming. I would not reccomend going for the 15 minute achievement your first time through this room. Notice the shields on the walls. They all have a matching shield on the surrounding walls. However there is one shield out of them all that does NOT have a match. You must seek out this shield and click on it. Clicking this shield will spawn your chest in the doorway of the shield room. Upon looting your chest you will recieve "Amazing Key 8." Make your way back out of the watery area and make a left to go down the next hallway. At the end of the the hall way on the left is a watery opening with your rusty lever in it. Pull the rusty lever and make your way quickly back to the shield room. Swim up through the opening in the ceiling of the shield room.
Mini Puzzle #9: Rusty Levers- Once you have entered the opening in the ceiling of the shield room you are at the begining of the nineth mini puzzle of the maze. Swim up a little bit. Notice three pathways. One to your left the goes around a corner, one that goes straight ahead, and one behind you that goes through a water wall. You first one to take the hall with the corner. Remember this area. If you go to the corner and look left you will see a dead end. This is where your chest will spawn. if you turn right and face the wall and ease yourself through the wall you will see a small room with 2-3 plaques on the walls, ceiling, or floor. If you mouse over the plaques they will tell you wich color room to go to. Please keep in mind that the position of the plaque will be the position the lever in the colored room will be that you need to pull. So if the plaque is on the floor and says "Green" you will go to the green room and pull the lever on the floor. There are only three colored room red, blue, and green. Each room has a lever on the ceiling, the floor, and all 4 walls. This is why it is important to remember where the plaque is located in this first room. The Green room is located down the hall that was straight ahead of you when you first entered the area. It will be at the end of that hall on the left. After pulling the lever in the green room make your way back down the hall and out the water wall. Careful not to fall off the edge when exiting the water wall. Go to the left and turn down the pathway . The Blue room is at the end on the left. Make your way back up to the water wall and go straight to the end of that pathway. The Red room is on the right. After flipping all three levers in the rooms make your way back up to the empty hall where the plaque room is and collect your chest. Looting this chest will give you "Amazing Key 9." After looting your chest make your way back out to where the Red Room is and go around the corner. Jump across the landings and go around the next corner. Enter the water way at the end by the plaque.. This is your rusty lever. Pull the lever and make your way back across the landings and make your way down through the now open water wall past the Green Room. You must be quick or the water wall will close.
After making your way this far the developers of this mind blowing puzzle thought you have worked hard enough and they would give you a break. After going through the water wall from the mini puzzle #9 drop down off the landing you are on and onto the landing below. Go around the corner and you will see a chest. Looting this chest will give you "Amazing Key 10." Yes that's right they gave you your 10th key for the puzzle! Make your way back around the corner and you will see your last rusty lever. Pull the lever and make your way back around to where the chest is and enter the water wall. Swim up and jump out (careful jumping out of the water so that you don't go over the edge). Turn left once you are out and sitting there on the edge is your final chest. This chest is the one that will earn you your achievement "Amazing." Congratulations on completing this one of a kind puzzle.
*Each time you loot the final chest you will earn something different. There is no limit as to how many times you do this puzzle so be sure to keep practicing and before you know it you will be able to earn your achievement for completing this puzzle in 15 minutes! Good luck!*
