   This quest was created by Veneficus.

Start the quest by asking Kaila about the Illuminatorium. You'll need the Illuminatorium Oculus from her before you can enter any of the puzzle rooms.

Note: Most of these puzzles should be treated like minesweeper, or sudoku - that is, look for rooms that have only one logical possibility and begin with completing that one room, and then work your way out to other rooms that have more than one possibility. So for example, in the third puzzle, you may have a room that requires 5 lights shining into it - in that case, there's only *one* wall that will have to have its light not on. The other rooms adjacent to the 5 light room should provide you with enough information to determine which wall that will be.

Most of the puzzles follow a similar logical framework, with the first and second being by far the easiest of the three. I have only completed the illuminatorium once, so I can not verify whether the main three puzzles are randomized or static. For the final puzzle (the runes on the oculus itself) the puzzle is randomized, and at the bottom of this spoiler section is a link providing a set of triggers to brute force it - that is, if you don't want to try and solve it yourself.

If you DO want to solve it yourself, your goal is to get all rune colors in the order of roygbiv (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet) starting from any position (as the oculus wraps around itself.) The runes must also be oriented in the same direction (either all down, or all up - but if they are all oriented down, you will still have to flip the oculus itself to complete the quest.) You only receive 15 "moves" (rune flips) before the oculus resets, and when you flip a particular rune, it moves 3 spaces to the right and changes its orientation (from down to up, or up to down.)

The developer Fate claims that any freshly reset puzzle can be solved in four moves. I can't verify this and spent three hours trying to solve it traditionally before building the script - Kian
