[testimonials user=’Riddle’ email=” name=’Riddle’ position=” photo=”] Nut, the goddess of the night, spat and aBall of flame crashed into the Earth.
Sky-metal, stronger than strong,
Fashioned into two bright daggers,
By Ptah, god of the forces
Ptah asked ra, “Where shall I hide them?”
“Light will show you the way,” said Ra.
And Ra gave him a container for light,
The Crystal of Thoth.
He took the crystal to Thoth’s Temple
And encased it within the roots
Of the Tree of Life
Born at his Temple
That none unworthy shall find it.

The solution is actually really simple. Head to the Temple of Thoth, jump down from the Fast Travel point. There is a door hidden in the base of the tree, you have to clear some trunk to get through to it.
Climb to the top of the pyramid and place the crystal. Head back down and rotate the mirrors so that the line shines directly onto the location where you found the crystal. One side has the mirror you need blocked by web, clear the web with a fire arrow. This opens a door below the tree of life. Head inside to get an awesome new Legendary Weapon.
you get two beams of light. do both have to be aimed at the point on the door?
Yes. One side you can just aim at a mirror, the other side you need to clear the webs off the mirror.
yes, ive done that, the beams are aimed at the door, but nothing happens . I cant seem to get the beams to align directly onto the hole where the crystal was
The light beams need to be aimed directly at “The Sun” of the door. When reflecting the light beams, you might want to aim slightly upwards instead of directly at the center of the mirrors.
