How to do Wiggling Hill Ruins Puzzle
Here are the steps to solve the puzzle:
Step 1: Light All Five Lanterns
Before touching anything in the water, you need to light all five unlit lanterns scattered around the puzzle area. You can light the lanterns in any order you like. Just make sure all five are lit.
Step 2: Use Nature’s Snare on the Pendulum
In the center of the puzzle, you will notice a cup pendulum sitting in the water. To activate it, you need the Nature’s Snare skill.
To activate the pendulum, enter focus mode while facing it. Once you are in focus mode, activate Nature’s Snare by spinning your controller stick. The pendulum will slowly rise out of the water and begin draining it. Wait for it to rise all the way up before you let go. As the water drains, the puzzle will complete on its own.
If the puzzle does not complete after the first try, simply repeat the process one more time. Raising and dropping the pendulum one or two times is usually enough to drain the water fully and finish the puzzle.
