Basics

A map is what you select from the lobby and determines the exterior of the tomb and tomb variation.
A tomb variation is what determines the unique appearance and features of the interior of the tomb.
A light ray puzzle is a type of Ushabti puzzle found in the lower tomb, which is opened after pulling the blue lever. These puzzles are always exactly the same per tomb variation and always contain 10 crystals.

Some seem complex at first glance, but these puzzles are actually set up to mostly be solved by just rotating crystals to point at the first one it connects to. Some have multiple solutions, but this guide has the simplest versions.
