Left to right:

  • G-like Glyph Symbol - This is the same symbol as in the Glyptodon Totem: Here you have to put pomegranate or pine cone in it.
  • U-like glyph symbol - This is where you need to put a root. This means a vegetable you grow - carrots are ideal.

Owl Totem Puzzle - Solution

If you place the right products, the Owl Totem will enable you to start a challenge. Your task is to direct the beam of light towards the owl statue in the middle of the cave.

To do this you have to fly back and forth between a few islands. You can transform into a bird thanks to the special circles with an owl emblem. There it is also possible to return to human form.

To change the direction of the beam, you have to rotate special columns. The trick is: for the light to reach the owl, all the pillars must be connected by the beam. It's a good idea to explore the cave before starting the puzzle and check which pillars are in a straight line with each other.

In case you have problems with this, we have prepared some screenshots of what it should look like. These are listed below in order: top left corner, top right corner, bottom right corner, bottom left corner/center, center final.
