After using the waypoint teleporter, turn around and head up the stairs, the entrance will be on the left. After entering the room, go behind the monument and take the elevator down to the puzzle area.

How to Solve - Step 1

First, you will need to look at which pools are filled on the right wall and apply it to the left wall. In this case, you will need to fill up the pool in the middle and empty all other pools

To do this, you will need to redirect the sand coming from the top and close the leaking sprout on the middle pool.

Afterward, empty the pools on the top so that so there's no sand inside. You can empty it by hitting the sprouts that point away from the middle

How to Solve - Step 2

After defeating the enemies, a new pattern will appear on the right wall. In this case, we need to imitate it on the left wall by filling the top right and bottom left pools.

This can be quickly done by closing all sprouts marked with an X and opening the ones marked with a circle on the image above.

Again, after defeating the enemies, the last pattern will appear. This time, you need to fill up 3 pools; the top left, the middle, and the bottom right.

After emptying the previous pools with sand, you can quickly complete this puzzle by following which sprouts to open by following the image above. Make sure to fill up the top left sprout after filling up the middle one by closing the leaking sprout!
