Sun Palace

Sun Palace

The Sun Palace is a self-maintaining biotype created by the Monster Keepers centuries ago. It was formed with the help of the four Spectral Familiars: the wolf created the forest and mountains; the toad, all the bodies of water; the lion, the Stronghold and all the stone buildings; and the eagle, the miniature sun suspended at the top of the palace. The Sun Palace was meant to be a place of balance, an underground temple filled with sunlight, a world of peace, and an ideal for Monster Keepers to strive towards.

The Sun Palace connects to the Snowy Peaks in the west, the Blue Caves in the east, and the Underworld below.

Storyline[]

When the Hero first enter the Sun Palace, they come across the Caretaker and his Koi. The Caretaker says something is interfering with the balance of the Sun Palace, and to meet him further into the Palace to investigate.

After working their way through the Sun Palace to meet with the Caretaker, he tells them that whoever is responsible for upsetting the balance of the Sun Palace has also lowered the main tower, preventing access to the Eagle's sun at the top. To reach the sun, a series of puzzles must be completed to lower the water in the aqueducts, and raise the tower section by section. The Champion Monster Qilin must also be defeated to raise the tower. Once the tower reaches its peak, Kanko can also be battled by lighting the Pipe in the left room at the top of the tower.

To the right, the Caretaker is found beaten and distressed as his prized Koi is no longer with him. Reaching the top, the Hero finds Zosimos, an Alchemist with the stolen Koi that is shifted. After a monologue about shifting, the Alchemist challenges the Hero to a Keeper Duel.

Have an opening team of magical Monsters, with at least one Fire damaging Monster to knock out the Grummy. From there, Wind and magic damage will get you through the rest of the line up, with a sprinkle of Water if you'd like for Crystal Snail (Wind works just as well).

Puzzles[]

The one puzzle most players struggle with is the puzzle with 6 levers and 6 doors. The full explanation is beneath the cut. The actual solution is hidden beneath a second cut, to prevent accidental spoilers.

Explanation

Thanks to Rilvenar in the Discord channel, we have a full solution.
Each lever affects two doors, altering their current state. Labeling each door from 6-5-4-3-2-1 left to right (with 1 being closest to the levers) and the levers as 1-2-3-4-5-6 from left to right, the initial state of the puzzle is:

6	5	4	3	2	1
shut	open	shut	shut	open	shut

Each lever adjusts the state of two doors, as listed below.

Lever 1
Doors 1 and 2

Lever 2
Doors 5 and 6

Lever 3
Doors 1 and 5

Lever 4
Doors 2 and 3

Lever 5
Doors 3 and 4

Lever 6
Doors 4 and 6

From all of this, the solution can be readily puzzled out.

Solution
Using the above designations, pull levers 1, 4, and 6.
