How to do Deepfog Basin Everfrost Ruins Puzzle Solution
Follow these steps to get all pillars to the same height as the first one on the left.
Step 1: Left socket
Use the left socket first. This controls pillars 1, 2, and 3 together. Raise them slowly until they are about halfway up, but still below the height of pillar 5.
Step 2: Right socket
Now go to the right socket. This one moves pillars 2, 3, and 4. Adjust it until pillars 2 and 3 line up with the fixed pillar on the left side.
Step 3: Front socket
Finally, use the front socket. This controls pillars 1 and 4. Raise them until they match the same height as the others.
Once all five pillars line up, the puzzle is complete.
