Does Not Compute

During your investigation of the Sunken Ruins, you found a room with an Ancient Computer Terminal. It appears you need to activate it if you want to release the lock on that side of the trap door. But whatever you try, simply does not compute! Someone more versed in Ancient Computers is needed and you know just the right Villager to help you with this puzzle!

Updated: 08/30/2024

The Ancient Terminal

The Ancient Terminal in the Sunken Ruins will not activate. You need EVE’s help! Perhaps she has a way to interface with it.

Unfortunately, EVE’s technology is too new. She doesn’t have a way to talk to the Ancient Computer. You’ll have to come up with some sort of adaptor from all the ancient parts you find on Eternity Isle.

EVE perks up at this thought. She has a map showing the location of some very specific parts to something called an Ancient Processor. This sounds promising. Time to pull out your Royal Tools and get to work!

Quest Task: Talk to EVE.

Quest Task: Investigate the map in your Inventory.

According to the map EVE supplied, there are quite a few parts you need to find if you want to craft the Ancient Processor. This treasure hunt is going to take you all over Eternity Isle.

Ancient Processor Repair

It takes almost all your Royal Tools to uncover all the pieces you need to rebuild the Ancient Processor, but before too long you have them.

No standard crafting table will work for this repair. This is a job for the Timebending Table.

Quest Task: Repair the Ancient Processor at a Timebending Table.

Quest Task: Make sure you have the Ancient Processor in your Inventory – 1.

Not Quite Enough

The Ancient Processor is a good start. It will help get the Ancient Computer Terminal working. But as is often the case when trying to interface old and new computer technology, it’s just not enough. You still need an adaptor so that EVE can actually communicate with the Ancient Computer.

Hmm…

Quest Task: Bring the Ancient Processor to EVE.

Replicate EVE’s Technology

To build an adaptor, you need to know a little more about EVE’s Technology. The best place to gather information is EVE’s House. It is sure to give you some ideas!

Quest Task: You need to replicate EVE’s tech. Take some pictures of items in EVE’s House.

  • Something round with holes
  • Some sort of power outlet
  • Some Glossy globes
