Enter Esoteric Ruins To Reach The Maze Area
The Esoteric Ruins is one of the locations in Expedition 33. It is located in the northwestern part of Act II’s main island, directly on the left path to Old Lumiere.
Once in the area, you can start the side quest, which involves solving the Maze Puzzle and earning the additional rewards.
To reach the maze puzzle area, you must first locate the Blue Orb (Nevron Spirit) and interact with it.
After interacting with the Blue Orb, you should follow the yellow glowing light on the hill, leading you to the upward path.
Once at the top, keep looking for the glowing light and make your way towards the glowing orb, which will be the beginning of the Maze.
How To Solve The Maze Puzzle In Expedition 33 Esoteric Ruins Quest
After reaching the Maze starting point, you must shoot each glowing orb to unlock and proceed to the next room.
The Maze contains several rooms. Each can be unlocked by shooting the orbs, so you must shoot each orb in every room.
Some rooms in the Maze can be accessed directly without shooting the orb, but activating the orb in earlier rooms is essential, as the next room might not unlock solely by shooting a single orb.
Once you get into the final room, you need to shoot the center orb, which will unlock the end of the Maze.
After leaving the Maze, you must collect Wood Boards and return to the Blue Orb to complete the Esoteric Ruins quest.
To locate the Wood Boards, head straight from the end gate and then take a left turn (you can also look from the light pink glowing orb to get the Boards).
On the way to the Wood Boards, you will also find Colour of Lumina, which you can consume to get an additional Lumina Point.
