Return to your starting position in J'nanin to locate the tusk containing the Amateria linking book and its adjacent puzzle. Exit the dome from the upper door (the one that was locked when you were outside and Saavedro was pacing around inside), cross the bridge, and descend the ladder. Continue across another bridge toward the white tusk ahead.
There are two ladders around the tower--one ladder on the edge of the platform and another inside a cylindrical tube. You can descend the ladder in the tube, which places you on a walkway beneath the tusk. However, a round wheel-like object blocks the walkway preventing you from reaching a very important door beneath the tusk.
Return up to the tusk and locate the second ladder that descends off the edge of the platform. When you are at the bottom of the ladder, you will spot the walkway and the wheel-like object across from you. A console with two levers lies directly in front of you. The levers control the walkway in front of you. To solve the puzzle, you must use the levers to move the walkway, causing the wheel-like object to move. If you can move the wheel out of your way, you will be able to reach the door!
From its starting position, use the console's levers in the following order: left, right, left, right. This moves the wheel out of the way and ensures that the ladder remains at its starting position so you can reach the walkway.
Ascend the ladder and go back to the ladder that is inside the cylindrical tube. Descend onto the walkway and notice that the wheel has moved behind the ladder you descended first. You now have access to the door ahead. Walk across the catwalk and open the door. You'll spot a console inside on the right; however, you can't reach the console because the floor at your feet has been destroyed. Looks like Saavedro's work!
You must maneuver the rolling object to get into the door. |
To reach this console, you must put something in the hole that can support your weight. There's one thing nearby that will do the trick--and best of all, it rolls! You must move the wheel-like object into the room and into the hole in the floor by, once again, using the levers. Return across the catwalk and up the ladder. Descend the other ladder to the console with the levers.
From its current position, use the console's levers in the following order: left, left, right. This moves the wheel across the walkway and into the room. It crashes through the hole in the floor but remains high enough to provide a floor for you to stand on as you attempt to reach the console inside. Before you leave the levers, you must pull the right lever one more time to adjust the walkway so that the ladder reverts to its original, usable position.
Ascend the ladder and return to the tube. Descend the ladder back to the walkway. Cross the walkway and enter the room. You can stand in the room, now that the wheel-like object covers the hole! Stand at the console.
The console should look familiar. It closely resembles the small spheres around the telescopes inside the observatory. To gain access to the linking book, you must move the small spheres to match the appropriate code. Align the spheres to match the code one of the codes received from the particular telescope to reveal the Amateria linking book.
