First, you need to defeat the two Abyss Mages getting the way. Then,recharge the plantin front using the Lumenstone Adjuvant—this consumes three Energy. Doing so will prompt purple stones to appear.
Your goal is to unlock the mechanisms and remove the purple stones. you may do so byfiring a projectile from the plant, targeting both the mechanisms and purple stones. You need toattack the plantfacing thedirection of the target. The closer you stand, the shorter the reach of the projectile. So for the farther mechanisms and purple stones, stand slightly away from the plant for the projectile to reach.
Successfully firing at any of the mechanisms or purple stones will cause a chain reaction, affecting similar nearby structures. After all of the mechanisms have been unlocked and all purple stones have been removed, the bell at the other side of the clearing will unlock.Attackit to prompt a cutscene to play, completing this part of the quest.

Second Bell (South of Stony Halls)
Follow the quest marker to the ruin, which is guarded by a Ruin Grader. Defeat it and continue forward. Your goal is to reach one floor below the top of the ruin, as this is where the puzzle starts.
First,remove the Oozing Concretioninside the room to reveal a diamond stone structure, which will result in four total. They need to be lit up by activating a source of luminosity beside them. Focus your attention on the three inside the room.
The first one is simple:recharge the mechanismbeside it, which will serve as its source of luminosity. The other two need to be lit up with the help of the two Seelies in the room.
This part is a bit tricky. When you lead the Seelies, they will always eventually overlap and will never land in front of two unique diamond stone structures if they move at the same time.
Your goal is to have both Seelies overlap, and thenonly move the Seelie closer to the structurewhile forcing the second Seelie to stay in place. This means that you need to carefully approach the Seelie in front so that the one behind it doesn’t get prompted to move. It may take a few tries to get it right.
You should end up with two diamond stone structures with a Seelie in front of them, and the third lit by the mechanism beside it. After, go outside andapproach the fourth diamond stone structure. Your Lumenstone Adjuvant will light it up, completing this part of the puzzle. You’ll be rewarded with a Precious Chest.
After that, aWind Currentwill appear. Use it to propel you to the top of the ruin.Lead the Seelieto the unlit diamond stone structure, which will unlock the mechanism between them.Interact with the mechanismto open the gate leading to the floor below.
Make sure to lead the Seelie downward to get an Exquisite Chest. A Ruin Grader and Oozing Concretion’ll also greet you.Removethe dark mud anddefeat the Ruin Graderto reveal the second bell.Attackit to prompt a cutscene, completing the puzzle.
Abyss Lector Battle
After ringing the two bells, head back to the Nameless Ruins with a battle-ready team that canbreak Pyro and Electro shields. You’ll be prompted to defeat Pyro and Electro Abyss Lectors. After the battle, interact with the glowing Investigate spot on the ground to get theCurious Cube, completing the World Quest. You’ll also get the Wonders of the World Achievement calledBirth Pains of the Dark Fog.
