The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind Hints
How do I get the puzzle box?
1 of 7: Go to Bal Ur and locate the Arkngthand ruins. They're at location 2 on theBal Ur map.
2 of 7: The entrance is at the north end of the ruins, and a semicircular crank on a pipe a little ways north of that opens the circular airlock thing briefly.
3 of 7: Once you're inside, there's a lot to explore. The ruins are divided up into six separate sections, each with doors linking to other sections.
4 of 7: The Hall of the Centrifuge (where you start), Weepingbell Hall, Heaven's Gallery, and Cells of Hollow Hand (where the puzzle box is) are the four areas you can get to without going through a locked door in Heaven's Gallery. They're fairly simple areas, with regular bandit types being the only opponents. You can explore and loot as you please.
5 of 7: To get the puzzle box, you need to go through the door to the Cells of the Hollow Hand that's near the exit to the outside.
6 of 7: To get up to the door, you have to hop up some boulders to get onto the platform it's on.
7 of 7: When you go through it, you'll have to kill Boss Crito. Then you can loot the room, including the puzzle box (it's a small square object on a lower shelf).
