Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Head back to the beginning of the temple and step on the glyph before the ice bridge to raise a pedestal.
  2. 2
    Push the pedestal, which contains a Macalania Sphere, down the large ramp. It will hit a glyph halfway down, transforming the Macalania Sphere into a Destruction Sphere.
  3. 3
    Go to the main area and step on the glyph there to ground the pedestal.
  4. 4
    Take the Macalania Sphere from the middle pillar and place it on the spot that forms the ramp leading downstairs.
  5. 5
    Go downstairs, grab the Macalania Sphere from the left pillar, and place it on the right side in the upstairs area. This will create ice.
  6. 6
    Take the Destruction Sphere from the pedestal, head down the ramp, and place it in the receptacle to the right of the left pillar. This will reveal a chest containing a Luck Sphere.
  7. 7
    To fix the ice bridge and exit, remove the Destruction Sphere and place it back in the pedestal.
  8. 8
    Return to the beginning and step on the glyph there. Push the pedestal back down the big ramp, turning the Destruction Sphere back into a Macalania Sphere.
  9. 9
    Step on the glyph in the main area to return the pedestal to its original spot.
  10. 10
    Push the pedestal right and north to get it back downstairs.
  11. 11
    Push it to the right down here, placing it back to form a piece of the ice bridge.
  12. 12
    Return upstairs, grab the sphere from the right side, and put it in the pillar downstairs.
  13. 13
    Place the sphere forming the downstairs ramp into the pillar in the main area. The ice bridge should now be complete.
  14. 14
    Cross the ice bridge, go up the stairs, and you will exit the cloister.

  • The order of placing spheres to form the ice bridge is crucial.
  • You may need to backtrack and reset parts of the puzzle if you get stuck.
