Right the askew dragon’s heads

The best task to start with isfinding all three askew dragon headsaround the room andturning them right side up. Finishing this task unlocks a new area that has an essential item for solving the main puzzle, so it’s easiest to knock this one out first.

Find the missing puzzle tile

Your next task is tofind the missing puzzle tile. Righting all three dragon’s heads opens up a previously locked door on the right side of the head near the scroll. Head through this doorway and all the way down the pathway on the other side.

At the end of the path, you’ll find a pool of water. Equip your Royal Fishing Rod and throw the line into thegold ripple spot. Fish out the missing puzzle tile, then head back to the main room to finally tackle the puzzle.
