In the temple and in its surroundings there are 14 environmental riddles (14/20 - the Desert obelisk/Workshop/Mill). The first one can be found on the west from the temple, on the sand between the stoned and the dead trees. The symbol can be found on the ground.

You find two more puzzles in front of the temple entrance. Note the circle above the door. It is connected with two smaller circles on the left and on the right. Your task is to stand in the position in which light is shed both on the upper and on a lower circle. After you do this, click on the upper circle and guide the beam.

Solving both of the puzzles will require you to stand in two different spots.

To find two more puzzles, climb up the stairs, to the top of the temple entrance and look at the ground. You need to stand in the position, in which light is shed on both the upper, largest circle and two smaller below it.

As soon as you do that, lead the beam between them and then, to the finishing point.

The second puzzle in this set requires moving a bit to the left, where light is shed on the circles on the left.

This path is a little bit more complicated than the previous one.

Another pair of easy puzzles are in the ruins, at the waterside. Stand in the position, in which light is shed both on the circle and the ruins fragment in front of it.

Move to the left and a bit back to solve the second puzzle in this set.

Turn around and climb onto the ruins right at the seaside. Stand in the spot, where the beach forms a path for the puzzle.

To find another one, climb the stairs on the left.

To find another one, climb the stairs on the left.

To solve the next one, walk back and stand behind the panel. It may seem that you will be solving the same puzzle, but after you have a closer look, you realize that the starting point is the same and the rest is different.

At the next level, raise water level. After the level reaches its maximum, start lowering it and stand right by the puzzle. Start it as soon as possible and lead the beam alongside the dropping water level.

The last puzzle in the building is under the elevator.

Go to the quarry and board the boat. Go along the left side of the isle, into any location. While passing by waterside ruins, keep an eye out for the starting point. Mark it as soon as it is lit. Keep moving the pointer as the Sun moves, until it reaches the finish.
