Where can I find the cave?

The cave is in Ambarino region, in the western part of it, near the river.


Stand in front of the mountain and look around. Look for the place where you can find a large passage between two rocks - the same as in the picture above.

Go through the passage and move up.


The cave's entrance is behind the trees.

After that, you can collect the 3 gold bars. Leave the cave.
Where did these 7 fingers come from?


One of the statues has 4 fingers and only one hand. Look around the cave. You will find a detached hand with 3 fingers. This hand belongs to the statue with four fingers.
Thanks to that you will know which statue has 7 fingers.
How to reset the puzzle?
