There are four Ceremonial Stone Tiaras and one puzzle that uses them, on top of the Temple of Obmuer. The puzzle is a matching puzzle, not a sequence — but the order below is the order that works, and it is the fastest way through if you would rather not read the statues.
The puzzle on top of the Temple of Obmuer
The puzzle sits on the cliff area above the fish-man island, and reaching the cliff itself needs a jump or a Wind Dash. The area you land on has four pedestals, each with a tray for one tiara, and four statues standing beside them.
The matching rule is simple once you see it: look at the flowers in the statues' hands and the vases standing beside each pedestal, and put the tiara whose colour matches that statue's flowers into its tray. Each tiara has three coloured bits, and each pedestal expects a specific arrangement of them.
The leftmost statue has a single red flower to its left, so the tiara with the red bit on the left goes into that tray. The others work the same way.
Getting to that cliff at all is the movement side of this, and the techniques are in the movement tech guide.
Queen's Domain Ceremonial Stone Tiaras: the exact order
Read the pedestals left to right. Each entry below is the tiara that goes on that pedestal, written as the order of its coloured bits:
| Pedestal | Left bit | Middle bit | Right bit |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 — leftmost | RED | WHITE | WHITE |
| 2 | WHITE | RED | WHITE |
| 3 | WHITE | WHITE | WHITE |
| 4 — rightmost | WHITE | RED | RED |
The same pattern is used for the colour-matching puzzle in the Petrified Garden, where the Trident Emblems go onto the statues — that one is in the Trident Emblem guide.
Once all four tiaras are in their trays it takes about a second before the mechanism activates, so do not mash the interaction expecting an instant response.
Where the fourth tiara is
Finding all four is its own small hunt, and they are all in the same general area:
- One is near the gargoyle pyramid on the way across to the puzzle island.
- Two are on the cliff with the puzzle itself.
- The fourth is the one people lose. It is on a lower cliff to the north-west of the puzzle, where you have to jump around to get back up. It is also on the cliff top above the third bell gargoyle and torch, or in the area where you enter under the sea, tucked behind a bush.
Several players lost the fourth for a long time because it was sitting in plain sight. The general approach to that kind of find is in the secrets guide.
Why colour is not the real difficulty
The puzzle resolves on light versus dark, not on exact shades — so it is fully solvable if you are colour blind. If a tiara looks like it might be wrong, check whether the statue's flowers are lighter or darker than the vase beside it rather than trying to name the hue.
The real difficulty is the reach. The puzzle island needs a Wind Dash or a precise jump, and the tiara locations need the cliff traversal on top of that — the dash count is in the Wind Gem guide.
