- The first mural to light is the second one from the left, with the image of two Molgrims enjoying a campfire engraved on it.
- The second mural from the right depicts the Somebodies battling the Molgrims and is the second one to light.
- Next in the order of lighting is the mural furthest to the right, which showcases the Somebodies fighting among themselves.
