Players can find the first piece of the arrow rune puzzle in Chatrakam Cave. Travelers must look for Pyro slimes in the marked location and defeat them. They must use the Dendro element to return the Bouncy Mushroom back to its normal state and then infuse Electro into it.

Doing so will reveal a hidden plant located beside it. Activating the hidden plant will spawn four-leaf sigils above. Jumping on the electro-activated bouncy mushroom and using the sigils to reach Dendroculus will complete the puzzle. The first arrow rune will now light up and reward players with a common chest.

The hidden plant should now appear in front of players. Activating the hidden plant will spawn several Fungi, and defeating them will further progress the puzzle. Completing the challenge will spawn another common chest, and the arrow rune should light up.
