How to Get Out of The Temple in Creatures of Ava

As you are greeted by a friendly but mysterious being, they’ll ask you to explore the ruins. In the first image above, you’ll see an open ledge. Run up to the stairs and jump across. Climb up and follow the path. You’ll see a mysterious platform. Step on it, and it’ll take you down.

Once you go down, follow the path, and you’ll see a relic. Interact with it, and it’ll cause a withering corruption to spread around the temple. Your new friend will help you out of the predicament, and you’ll return back to where you started in the ruins, but with the withering corruption already causing havoc.

How to Destroy the Withering and Solve the Rune Puzzle

At this point, you’ll gain access to the Nafitar relic, which you can use to lift objects or destroy the Withering. Use the Nafitar relic to destroy the corruption and enter the next area. You’ll see multiple Withering around the next area and use the Nafitar relic to destroy them all.

The roots will dissipate, and you’ll see a stand in the middle. Interact with it, and you’ll need to solve the Rune puzzle. Each piece is movable except for the one in the middle. To complete the puzzle, you want to build around the center of the tree or the immovable piece. Start by looking at the branches of the tree and connecting the dots. After solving the puzzle, you’ll head back to the starting area of the ruins.

In the first image above, you’ll see two moveable debris. Lift them up with the Nafitar and destroy the Withering inside them. To access the one on the upper right of the image, you can either go up the stairs and jump to the ledge or head back and look for the platform, lifting the platform up with your Nafitar.

Once you destroy both Withering, the door in the middle will open. Head straight and you’ll be introduced to fighting mechanics and finally find the way out of the temple.
