How to access the Temple of Water

Post by rockgrimmer »

hi there guys, I am looking for the temple of water;

in another post, it is said that its in the middle of sleeth island; am I wrong to assume that this is the island with the large tower on it (where the robed man opens the slith in the door, and where the 4 statues are located)?

If so, Im in the wrong area; and would like a pointer where sleeth island is; for it seems my assumptions was wrong.,,

Right I think I found where the temple of water is, its in the same area as the serpent structure (pyramid?).

The question remains, how does one enter? Through water one may think.

Yes, that is it.

It's some kind of VERY BIG spoiler HOW to reach the Water Temple, so... maybe try to get there by yourself, but if you REALLY need to go there...

Find the silent stone face near the piramid and look at what it's looking during the night until somenthing happens...

I'm definitely out of ideas. Have searched that lake up and down and side to side, suffering many a spear prick from the natives. :P

So far the one or two riddles/secrets I've had to look up here seem incredibly easy next to some of the ones that I guess, so I have to assume that this one is staring me in the face.

Successively stronger hints + solution:
SpoilerShow
There are three stone heads that you'll need to find to solve the puzzle.
SpoilerShow
I don't remember where they are exactly, but one of them is near the castle and simply says "...". The other two refer to that head.
SpoilerShow
One of them says: "The silent one has a friend who is more willing to speak. Head towards the sunrise, beyond the gate, to find him." This is telling you that the third head is in the cemetary (to the east), and you need to open the cemetary gate to reach it.
SpoilerShow
That head says: "Every night the silent one sees something. Look where he looks and be patient." The silent one is the head that says "...".
SpoilerShow
Stand in front of the "..." head and look where the head is looking, i.e. directly at the bridge. Then wait until nightfall (I strongly recommend resting to speed up time). Getting to the shrine will be self-explanatory after that.

Once you mentioned the head in the cemetary it was all so obvious. At first, "The Silent One" didn't mean anything.
Thanks!
