Metheus Puzzles

The Metheus Puzzles are ARG puzzles, in the same fashion as the Cyclum or William Carter Puzzles. Signing into steam will begin the puzzle. if the user has not completed the Cyclum puzzle and obtained a tragic torch, the user will be unable to see the puzzle due to the darkness. Cyclum can be completed to gain the torch and begin the puzzle.

First Puzzle
In the bottom left of the screen is a tablet on a stand. Clicking the tablet enlarges it, allowing the user to access it. Along the top are a line of black symbols. a second line of gold symbols are below it. On the bottom left and right side are buttons with the symbols randomly distributed across them. closing and opening the tablet again will change the positions of the symbols on the buttons.

To solve this, two players are required. The players need to copy opposing sets of the other's symbols, (Player 1 copies Player 2's gold symbols while Player 2 copies Player 1's black symbols, or vice versa). After the two each players' symbols have been copied, they then click the blue symbol in the center. If both players are correct, the tiles around the center symbol will glow gold and purple, showing the two accounts have been successfully synced. The page will refresh, revealing the right side of the obelisk and a second tablet, allowing both players access to the second part of the puzzle.

Second Puzzle
The second puzzle is activated by clicking on the second tablet in the newly lit right side of the screen. One player's tablet will show tile squares and a string of black symbols at the top, while the other's will show the opposite. In total, there are 32 symbols and 13 tiles. One partner will get the symbols and the other will get the tiles.

In comparison to the first puzzle, the second puzzle is undoubtedly harder. Players will again have to share the code found on the top of the tablet. Completing the puzzle is just a matter of switching the symbols and tiles that you already have in unison and submitting the answer in a cohesive fashion. When you get all the tile placements correct, the six yellow lights at the bottom of the puzzle will light up, along with the button that will glow gold. It is recommended that you follow the binary method as there is a limited number of times you can submit a guess of the tile placements.

Puzzle 3
The next part of the puzzle is in game. You can find an Ancient Chest in the Ruins (c_gonext("sacred_chest") to teleport with console) and opening it will bring a 6 slots inventory quite similar to the one from the puzzle. Now, going back to the answer you gained from the previous puzzles, each of the 6 symbols represent an item. The symbols and corresponding items have been solved by Cheetos, and can be found here. Once items are placed in the correct order, the chest will shake and an announcement will show at the top of the screen saying ''"Your presence has been noticed". ''Exit your game and run it again to get your new ancient item skins.

Trivia

 * This is the second puzzle related to A New Reign, representing the disclosure of the expansion(as opposed to Cyclum, which introduced it)

 * If this was either intentional or not, however, is ambiguous
 * The Ancient Fuelweaver mentions or addresses a Metheus after killing the player, when deactivating the Ancient Gateway.
 * There are many murals found in these puzzles that seemingly shows the Ancient's past (and their downfall..)
