Journey to the Center of the Earth Hints

What am I supposed to do in the Arena?

  • 1 of 8: Did you notice the large urn on the left side?  It's obvious something should be dipped in that pool of liquid.  But what?
  • 2 of 8: The warrior you met here gave you a hint.  He called himself a "Master of Recomposition."
  • 3 of 8: With a little help, you can recompose (change) something in that bowl.
  • 4 of 8: If you searched the village thoroughly, you should have everything you need to complete the task.
  • 5 of 8: You should have brought an empty shell and a living shell from the Village.  You'll also need some mastodon hairs.
  • 6 of 8: The living shell contains a mollusk who must be coaxed into leaving his shell.
  • 7 of 8: Put the empty shell in the bowl followed by the living shell.  Then add in the mastodon hairs.  Magic!
  • 8 of 8: Pick up the clean vegetable lens from the cracked shell.
