The Riddle of Palette Prime Solution
Once you drop into the well, Professor Backpack can be found at the bottom. You can quickly make your way to the bottom by using the pipes in the area to propel you downward.
Before you officially start the riddle, the professor will tell you to notice the symbols and podiums along with a peculiar riddle. Let’s take a good look at the riddle, shall we?
“The day began with a wooden bell, the silence broke as the lake’s song did swell. The Red Thief Arrived at dusk, looking for a trinket to pawn. Night came. The Guardian did the same. While guarding the forest, my sleep it would claim.”
If you notice the floor, there are four podiums while there are five tokens. This means, you only need to use four tokens. There is an excess of one token to confuse players.
Based on the riddle, the answer is very simple. Each token is placed according to the time of day in accordance with the riddle. Here’s what token to put in which podium.
Place the swan token on the right podium or the sun/day.
Place the fish token on the top podium
Place the rabbit token on the left podium
Place the duck token on the bottom podium
The end result will look something like the picture above. Once you place them all in order, you will officially have accomplished the Riddle of Palette Prime and win a planet coin in the process.
