Sphinx E3 engraving star

[Eredanski]

Guys i realy stuck on the sphinx second star with with the hint with the structure and the statue. Maybe is something realy easy. Im grinding it for an hour and coudnt figgure it out.

Same issue, I think there is a hidden RGB device somewhere on a map.

Where is E3? 3rd puzzle area?
newer mind, i just got there. The Map is pretty explanatory.

X marks the spot, it's a map. Line the picture up with the game world and you'll know the area to search.

I got stuck on this too.

I'll put a couple levels of hints

Hint 1: It is a map and you are meant to find something where the x marks

2: It is a hidden switch and it is near a small structure

3: The switch is on the side of a piece of cut stone that looks like it broke off a square pillar

I can't for the life of ♥♥♥♥ find it, the map is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ useless, it's not obvious at all.

I agree, they didn't do a great job of showing what to look for. I'd recommend just finding a video of the location if the hints here didn't help; I'm not sure how to better describe the location myself

That would be Pandora, no?
There is a puzzle in E3 that has it and there is a fixed connector outside which you can connect to green beam to redirect the green beam to another puzzle to finish the Pandora's star.

For sphinx you are looking for a switch in 5 and a set of columns in 3 (N1, S1, W1)

Probably put a spoiler tag for people that are browsing this and trying to figure it out with the earlier subtle hints first.

X marks the spot. Here is 3 screenshot showing the "map", approx where its pointing from and where the solution is.

I would not have figured that out. I went all around that field. Thanks!

I swear the drawing is freaking terrible. First of all, it looks like there is a river flowing from around the statue, while the statue is in a self enclosed pond, so that ain't helpful. Even when you head in the general direction (using the foot of the star sky structure as a reference), you can circle the whole area and not find it. There are 3 of these pillars sticking out in that area (the drawing NOT indicating you are looking for a pillar or that there even is a building) and they shoved a little tree exactly in front of the switch, completely hiding it out of view.

Like really, you can't entirely hide the switch if your indicative area is that generic.

I think the lever is marked in the wrong place https://i.imgur.com/6gTA8Zs.png
