ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

Trying to complete the ruined dungeon puzzle, but there aren't enough clues. I've got 3 signposts that give a total of 4 elements (1+2+1). There's a manablaze area in the level, and I'm guessing that it overwrote one of the signposts.

Maybe I've misunderstood and this is all behaving as it was meant to, but in case it isn't, there's my report.

Cheers, and thanks for a fantastic game.

The three signposts give the entirety of the information. You can piece it together by checking what each orb says and then reading through the clues a few times.

Adding to that, there are two possible sets of clues. The following are those clues and spoilers about the order:

Set 1
The river flows in its bed of stone...

...The feather flies gently in the wind.
The tree's roots run deep...

...The eldritch force burns all that lives.

OR

Set 2
Darkness beyond twilight.
Crimson from the blood that flows...

...Buried in the flow of time.
Colder than the coldest ice...

...Unleash dark thoughts.
Upon this blighted land!



SPOILERS




Set 1
water - The orb seems to drip water.
earth - The orb is covered in dust.
wind - The orb is floating in the air.
nature - Small seeds seem to be growing inside the orb.
arcane - The orb swirls with magical energies.
fire - Flames burst out of the orb.

Set 2
darkness - The orb seems to absorb all light.
blood - The orb is drips with thick blood.
time - Time seems to slow down around the orb.
ice - The orb is icy to the touch.
mind - Your mind is filled with strange thoughts as you approach the orb.
blight - The orb seems to corrupt all it touches.

I guess what the OP missed is that two clues can be collated in a single sentence, as in "the eldritch (arcane) force burns (fire) all that lives"

I think you have ice and time reversed here. "...Buried in the flow of time./Colder than the coldest ice..." Otherwise 100%.

Oh, whoops, I didn't catch that, thank you.

This. Yep. That's what happened.
