I think you're talking about that glyph puzzle! When looking for ancient ruins with symbol puzzles, always approach the central interface terminal first since that's where the core pattern challenge appears. The symbols typically appear in distinct overlapping sections, with key interaction nodes positioned at specific intersection points that correspond to potential solutions. You'll notice three main circular arrangements that need careful observation, and the trick is watching how different glyphs activate when you select certain combinations. Position yourself directly in front of the terminal because some of the symbol patterns can be hard to see from angles, especially during storms or at night.

For the actual solving process, start by identifying which symbols appear in multiple sections since these usually indicate important pattern connections. Most puzzles have a specific timing window where you need to activate overlapping sections in sequence, and missing the timing means starting over. Good to know - the symbols will briefly pulse with energy when you're hovering over correct combinations, but don't rush to select them since incorrect choices can lock you out temporarily. Getting familiar with common symbol groupings helps a lot because similar patterns tend to show up in ruins across different regions, just arranged in slightly different configurations each time.
