All the mysteries of the Ancient Sacred Mountain

The Ancient Sacred Mountain consists of a paired area, parts of which are on different levels - the mountain itself and the Abode of Dragons. Therefore, all activities, in fact, will have to be sought in two different locations, not one, moving between them using teleports. The main puzzles of the Ancient Sacred Mountain are presented in two formats:

• search for manitou, which have a special appearance and speed of movement;
• lighting of pyro monuments.

Manitou

• The first one is on the eastern island of the Ancient Sacred Mountain. Hit it with a tatankazaur and force it into the cube.

• The second one is a little north of the previous point. At the end it comes to a column and two To the servants of the source.

How to Light Pyro Monuments

Please note that you cannot light the totems with the characters in any way, as they quickly go out. To move on, you need to solve a small puzzle with the help of Tatankasavr. At the edge of the Phlogiston Lake, you can see a geothermal vent - a rocky hill from which hot air comes out. Hit it with Saurian to make it disappear.

After a while, the hole will be restored, after which it must be attacked again. Several fireballs will rise from the lava, which will fly into the Pyro monuments and light them, after which the door will open and open access to the room with the precious chest.
