Puzzles

Puzzles are a frequent occurrence in Grow: Song of the Evertree. They can take many forms, and result in material rewards like Chests or even unlock certain doors and passageways. It will be necessary to solve certain puzzles in order to recover all eight Song Fragments, restore Harmony to the Evertree, and complete the game's Main Plotline.

Types of Puzzles
There are five basic puzzle types found throughout the game:
 * Button-Press Puzzles - These puzzles require the Apprentice to jump on or push buttons in a specific order. Usually there are four buttons arranged in a specific way, and somewhere nearby will be the clue to solving the puzzle, using lighted stones reminiscent of bioluminescent fungi to indicate the order.
 * Gong Puzzle - There is only one of these puzzles in all of Alaria, and it requires the Apprentice to play a "Simon"-like memory game, using their Mallet to strike the gongs in the order demonstrated.

There are also a couple of things that seem like puzzles that really aren't:
 * Battery-Powered Chest Dispensers / Door Openers - These simply require two to four Alchemy Batteries to make a Chest appear or open a door.
 * Withered Insect clearing - A few Caves require the Apprentice to free, or free and capture, a number of Withered Insects in order to push back enough of The Withering to proceed further into the Cave or receive a reward.

Animal Statue Altar
Upon unlocking the Meadow Quarters, the apprentice may discover a peculiar structure to the northwest of town, an open ring of four animal statues arrayed around a central stone platform.

These statues each correspond to other altars scattered throughout Alaria. Each must be activated to provide the final prize -- a collection of four golden chests each packed with random rewards!

As the far-flung altars for each statue is activated through the use of four Alchemy Batteries, a chest will appear at the altar where the batteries were spent and the orb for the corresponding statue at the Animal Statue Altar will raise and begin spinning in kind.

Returning to the main Animal Statue Altar allows for a quick check ofwhich altars have been activated, should The Apprentice need a refresh of their memory.

NOTE: some altars cannot be accessed until nearly all districts have been freed of The Withering, so this puzzle will remain unsolved until Alaria is nearly restored in full.
