Where can I find the cave?

The cave is in Ambarino region, in the western part of it, near the river.

Stand in front of the mountain and look around. Look for the place where you can find a large passage between two rocks - the same as in the picture above.

Go through the passage and move up.

The cave's entrance is behind the trees.

How to solve the puzzle?

To solve this puzzle, you have to pay attention to the fingers of every statue. Select: the statue with 7 fingers, with 3, 5 and lastly with 2.

After that, you can collect the 3 gold bars. Leave the cave.

Where did these 7 fingers come from?

One of the statues has 4 fingers and only one hand. Look around the cave. You will find a detached hand with 3 fingers. This hand belongs to the statue with four fingers.

Thanks to that you will know which statue has 7 fingers.

How to reset the puzzle?

Reset the puzzle if you made a mistake. Approach the statues you have selected, and go behind them. You will find a button. After that, you can try to solve the puzzle again.

Tips

You can also switch to the FPP camera. The screen will zoom in, allowing you to see better.

Pay close attention to the statues' hands. Thumbs are especially important. They are difficult to see when you are looking at a statue either from the front or from behind. Walk around a statue and look at the hands.
