Natlan's riddles Piro region. While traveling through the fiery kingdom, you will have to enlist the help of local creatures, saurians, as well as representatives of tribes who know how to handle different forms of phlogiston. Due to the abundance of energy types, the methods of solving puzzles and methods of movement depend on the territory of the tribe: in the region of the Descendants of the Crowns, mechanisms use a grappling hook, in the territory of the People of the Springs you need to move by swimming through water and lava, and in the mountains of the Children of Echoes, many puzzles focus on interaction with stones and earth.
In this guide, we'll go over in detail how to complete all the puzzles in the Basin of Countless Flames, Tequemec Valley, Toyek Creeks, and Mount Coatepec in Natlan. We'll talk about the key mechanics of moving around the Pyro region and look at ways to interact with mechanisms in different locations.
We also recommend to get acquainted with interactive map of Natlanato find out in advance what all the locations of the region look like and check the location of puzzles and chests.
General mechanics
First, let's look at the main types of puzzles found in various parts of the fire country.
Buried objects
When exploring, you may stumble upon objects buried in the stones. The abilities of the Children of Echoes will help to extract buried treasure from the ground, for example Kachinas, and tepetlysaurs, whose lifestyle is closely related to work on solid phlogiston.
Manitou
Manitou are extraordinary spirits trapped in ancient graffiti on cave walls and other surfaces. After awakening the creature from sleep using phlogiston, follow it and destroy all obstacles on the way to the treasure.
In addition to the normal Natlan spirits, there are Strange Manitou, which are distinguished by specific shapes and colors. Such creatures can be used to fill in colored graffiti on walls.
Taunting Manitou inhabit the lands of the Fertile Lands Fold and, out of a love of pranks, often wave a flag to attract Tatankazaurs. When encountering an image of such a spirit on a stone, it is necessary to break the image to solve a puzzle or receive a reward.
In a separate guide explained, how to get each manitou to its place.
Path converter and transmission sphere
Transmission Orbs are colorful items that can be collected by Yumkasaurs and Scions of Kron, e.g. Kinich, using a grappling hook. After drawing the sphere, hold the button to aim, then release to fire the object in the desired direction. If the sphere hits the platform of the correct color, the mechanism is activated.
Path transformers change the colors of the spheres to their own, and also, having received an object, launch it in the indicated direction with a slight delay.
Also, when solving riddles, you will encounter an unusual fake sphere that can use a metal platform. After activating the mechanisms, the ball does not disappear, so it can be reused. Metal spheres can be collected by Crown Descendants and Yumkasaurs using their skills.
Sacred flame that purifies all things
At the Stadium of the Sacred Flame, flames are obtained for the “Night of the Flame of Turning” ritual of the Descendants of Crowns. The flame has the power to dispel darkness. Draw flames from a burning brazier to gain the "Auspices of the Sacred Flame", then throw a flame grenade into a cluster of Abyssal energy. While under special status, you can also light extinguished braziers.
Seal of Rolled Grass and Refuge Spores
The grappling hook-based Kron Scion and Yumkasaurs can use Rolled Grass Seals to move quickly. In Natlan there are symbols of two different colors: red and green. The red ones represent a marker for normal movement, while the green ones create short-term “shelter spore” platforms underneath them.
“Refuge Spores” can be obtained by interacting not only with seals, but also with special “Lamps of the Soul” - after this, when you jump or attack in the air within a certain radius, a platform will appear under your feet for a short period of time.
Removable hooks
In the kingdom of fire, you can also find bases for wooden hooks. Some devices can be returned to their places to use the mechanisms.
O night spirit, draw your shadow here
On the territory of Natlan there are special obsidian totem poles. According to local legends, if a person with a special gift touches the cold surface of the totem, he will be transported to the Kingdom of Night, which preserves the memory of the valor of the Night Spirit warriors.
Read about it in a separate guide all the local legends of Natlan.
Humans and saurians are one!
In co-op adventures with Baby Tepetlisaurus, Travelers will be able to move as the creature to solve Sage of the Stolen Flame puzzles. After switching to the saurian companion view, go to the green touch zone, and place the character in the area with a golden glow.
Shattered Stones
Cracked, unstable rocks that glow with a soft red light. A slight explosion is enough to destroy them.
Rainbow rays
Rainbow rays are a defensive structure that shoots energy beams in a small radius. Get close to the core, which is powered by rainbow inscriptions, and turn it off with a touch.
Painted stones
When exploring some tribes, you will come across the most common stones, which require you to throw colored manitou at them so that they will be colored according to it.
You will find it in a separate manual all about colored stones.
Glowing graffiti
In addition to the usual wall graffiti, there are glowing ones. In the state of "Spiritualist", you can take information or power from them and, thanks to it, project the object drawn on them into the real world.
Symbols of the Night Spirit
Long ago, an Ictomisaur artist combined oil graffiti with phlogiston etchings to create the Nightspirit symbols. Interact with them as a Cryosaur or Nightwind Lord.
Ancient rings with engraving
Ancient engraved rings are consumed by Ictomisaurs in their Spirit Talker state.
Shining pillars and fragments
In the Chuulel Core area, you will see Radiant Pillars that are holding back the spread of the Void. Place Radiant Shards in them to create an aura that will suppress the Blight and damage monsters with Void Shields.
Corruption and Vortexes of the Abyss
The underground part of Ochkanatlan contains the energy of the Abyss, accumulating and turning into the Scourge of the Abyss. Kokouik's aura can suppress it, but in the case of a huge accumulation of negative power, it must be destroyed in a short period of time.
Some Void Corruption is particularly strong, causing the Light Aura to only temporarily slow its growth until the corruption around Chuulel's Core of Light is cleared.
Void vortexes or vortexes can appear on ages and block them.
Crackling Mysterious Fire Stone
The mysterious burning firestone contains the energy of the primordial flame. Only those blessed by the Lord of Fire can touch it. Find them and take them to the Altar of the Primordial Fire.
Altar of the Primordial Fire
On board the Tonatiuh, you will find the Altar of the Primordial Fire, where you must bring Firestones to continue the burning process of the Jade of Return.
Ancient mechanisms
On the Tonatiuh ship there are ancient mechanisms, the control of which facilitates movement between parts of the complex.
The rotation of the central mechanism creates connections between the different lifts, the bridges of which can be lowered and raised.
Pale fog
Activate special stone statues to create colorful areas of splendor in the Pale Mist. Hitting the stone figures can move them.
Caught inside the grey areas, the Manitou are depressed and need the return of colour in order to "come alive".
Secret Source Dragon Cannon
A part of a mechanical dragon head that can fire powerful projectiles in a given direction. Use the Tatankazaur Strike or a similar skill from the Fertile Lands to interact with it.
Pulverite
When typical rock is mixed with phlogiston, pulverite is formed. These formations can be broken down using the Tatankazaur skill or a similar skill from a hero from the Udel of the Blessed Lands tribe.
Condensing Pedestal and Pearl
In the parts where the liquid phlogiston flows, there are mechanisms left that can turn a small area of lava around itself into a solid and safe surface. Pick up a Condensing Pearl with the Jumkasaurus skill or a character from the Descendants of Kron and place it in the pedestal. When the device is activated, the surface of the phlogiston will harden and turn into a safe platform that can be used for movement.
Viscous core
The core, affected by the Void, attacks any creature that starts to approach it. To clear the path from the filth, it is necessary to use a powerful blow or a special attack of suitable saurians, which consumes a lot of phlogiston (shot of the yumkasaurus, ram of the tatakasaurus).
Secret Source Ray Gun
A beam weapon designed to combat the Void that must be manually controlled. Once activated, aim and fire at the clots of corrupted energy.
Distorted black mud
Some areas of Natlan are subject to the pollution of the Abyss. Black mud forms on the terrain, which, when in its radius, slowly fills the scale under the phlogiston indicator and prevents free movement. After some time, the active character in this zone will begin to lose health. You can resist the black mud with the help of dragon abilities or the skills of some tribes.
Phlogiston energy mechanics
The new riddles of Natlan are overwhelmingly based on the control and interaction with the energy of phlogiston. Phlogiston comes in many forms, and there are many ways to obtain it. In addition, special types of mechanisms only work when energy is supplied, so in order to solve puzzles and tests, you need to learn how to extract and use it.
We discussed in detail in a separate guide phlogiston mechanics.
Spiritual paths and the funnel of currents
The continuous flow of energy creates paths, including incomplete ones, that can be used by representatives of the Folk of the Springs and Koholasaurs. Sometimes the paths twist into upward vortices of currents. Masters and saurians who have mastered the techniques of controlling this type of phlogiston can use current funnels to make high jumps.
Spiritual doors
Mechanisms for creating an artificial “spiritual path” are most often imperfect and unstable. Direct the flow of energy into the phlogiston door to create a new flow.
Phlogiston engravings and symbols of discovery
Masters who taught the art of phlogiston control left behind unsolved mysteries in phlogiston engravings. Find the opening symbol and use the Spring People sprint or Koholasaurus water dash to insert the answer to the riddle into the engraving.
Molten crack
Rifts in solid energy provide travel corridors that can be used by tepetlysaurs and Children of Echoes.
Liquid Phlogiston
High temperature phlogiston, similar to lava. Only Koholasaurs and natives of the People of the Springs can move through it - this wastes their phlogiston energy.
In a special guide they showed where to find liquid phlogiston.
Fall, hard phlogiston thorn!
A test involving breaking engraved stone pillars. Collect enough inscription power to repair the rainbow engravings and return the thorns to the ground. Repairs will be hampered by a dark force that changes space and reduces the progress of collecting the power of inscriptions.
Flame grenades
A fruit with a high Natlan energy content, but an unstable state. Pyro attacks will detonate the flame grenade, while Yumkasaurs and Scions of Kron often use grappling hooks to collect these fruits.
Unstable phlogiston crystals
A type of crystal that only Children of Echoes and Tepetlysaurs can sense. When approached or attacked, the structure of the stones is destroyed and a small explosion occurs.
Gaseous phlogiston
The gaseous phlogiston is so hot that only the Cornsaurus and Flowerfeather tribe can enter it without loss.
Phlogiston Wind Tunnel
Flowerfeather settlement dwellers and fire saurians are able to enter one-way ages of phlogiston wind formed by the erosion of gaseous matter.
Phlogiston balloon
Destroy the floating balloon to restore some of the phlogiston resource.
Sealed Fire Crystals
This type of crystal is used to seal the power of ancient ruins and can be broken by both attacks and ramming. Destroying it will grant a certain amount of power.
Intelligence Rings and Intelligence Targets
If you fly through the Reconnaissance Rings located in the airspace and destroy the Reconnaissance Targets, you can replenish your Phlogiston supply.
Speed Ring
Rings of Speed enhance the representatives of the Fertile Lands and Tatankazaurs, allowing them to switch to the second type of sprint without spending phlogiston.
Geothermal vent
In some areas, holes form in the earth's crust, from which phlogiston emerges. If such a point is struck by a fall or a tatankasaurus stomp, the fault will collapse and make it possible to reveal part of the puzzle.
Night Spirit Mechanics
Natlan heroes are characterized by a special “Night Spirit” mechanic, elements of which add variety to the gameplay, improve mobility and increase combat power. There are three types of effects obtained by activating the mechanics in question:
- Transfer of the Night Spirit. Moving, staying in the air, and climbing in areas with "phlogiston mechanics" can trigger the special effects of Natlan characters listed in their ive skills.
- Flash of the Night Spirit. If you have Natlans among your allies, hitting enemies with attacks with elemental damage with a certain cooldown causes the Night Spirit Flash effect.
- Blessing of the Night Spirit Natlan. An enhanced state with high mobility that all Pyro Kingdom fighters possess. As a rule, it is activated by an elemental skill and lasts until the hero uses up all the Night Spirit points.
A separate guide tells you more about Night Spirit mechanics.
Saurian control mechanics
When traveling through the fiery region, you will often have to inhabit saurians in order to solve Natlan's puzzles, freely cross a dangerous canyon and a wide river, or climb a mountain. Use the “Soul Possession” function on “Soul Lanterns” and available creatures to control them.
When moving and using saurian abilities, phlogiston is consumed, and the skills themselves vary depending on their type:
- Tepetlysaurus - Geo saurian that interacts with solid surfaces. Easily destroys obstacles on the way and climbs solid phlogiston, which ordinary people cannot climb.
- Yumkasaurus - due to the long tongue, it can be attracted to symbols and heavy objects. The cheek pouches contain flame pectin, which can be fired for movement. Dendro Saurian's abilities allow him to press levers and pull mechanisms.
- Koholasaurus - the only type of saurian, Hydro, capable of moving in liquid high-temperature phlogiston. Otherwise, the baby dragon helps with rapid movement through water and energy flows “Spiritual Paths”.
- Ictomisaurus - Cryosaurian, closely connected to the spiritual world and helps to interact with the mysteries associated with it. Can jump high and glide from such a distance.
- Cucusaurus - a flying Pyrosaurian, which uses phlogiston to perform various jerks, rise higher, or strike. Resistant to high temperatures.
- Tatankasaurus — An Electro Saurian that can run on liquid phlogiston and water, and can make rapid dashes. Using its skills, a Saurian can easily knock over heavy objects or break rock.
