Inside the Ancient Ruins, follow Kiefer. This area introduces you to simple environmental puzzles. You'll need to push blocks and activate switches to open pathways. Your primary goal here is to locate the various pedestal rooms. Each room contains a pedestal where you'll eventually place fragments. For now, focus on finding the 'Tablet Fragment' in the first accessible room. After finding it, Kiefer will lead you to the Chamber of the Almighty. Here, you'll place the fragment, triggering a mysterious event that transports you to a new land. This is the core gameplay loop: find fragments, place them, and restore a lost land. open all chests you encounter in the ruins, as they contain valuable early-game equipment and consumables.
