Final code:
Artifact Appraisal
The clue at the "4" marker on the map must be checked before obtaining the marked artifact (Flawless Fluorite). It reveals the true artifact is flawless (solid color all around - drag the item to check all sides), hard as sapphire (brightly colored), and round with a square base.
Mechanical Lock
The goal in this puzzle is to draw two paths through the grid such that every square is drawn through, the Red "Start" is connected to the Red "End," and the Black "Start" is connected to the Black "End." There are many ways to solve this puzzle; one solution is available above in case of difficulty.
Jade Plate Lock
The goal in this puzzle is to rotate the rings such that there is an unbroken line from the pearl at the top to the pearl in the center. It's recommended to start this puzzle from the outer ring as movement in some of the outer rings will also disturb the inner rings.
