From now on in the story, you've just started your adventures in Palia and finished a brief tutorial on how to use its tools and create furniture.

While talking to Jina about how you materialized in the world, you'll find a strange object that you can use in a waterfall cave to help you find out more about this situation.

However, as you get closer, you'll see a riddle preventing you from entering the huge doors of the ruins! To find out more, read on for a complete guide on how to solve the riddle in the Ancient Battery mission in Palia.

How to solve the riddle of the old battery in Palia

The answer to the riddle of the Old Battery mission is water. In other words, use your watering can on the central pedestal to fill the bowl with water, opening the door and allowing you to progress through the story mission.

How exactly do you get to this solution? When you interact with the large door, you'll find an inscription saying the following: "Knowledge makes the mind grow, even in times of conflict. To get in here, you have to supply what makes life grow."

What substance makes life grow, you might ask? That would be water! We drink it and use it to water crops so that they grow. Considering that there is rust on the bottom of the bowl, we can also safely assume that it has come into contact with a lot of water over the years.

After pouring water into the bowl and opening the doors, you'll reach a large cave which, although not very important at the moment, will be a notable location at the end of the story. In the meantime, talk to Jina to get one step closer to progressing in Palia's story!
