I think the cavern of Rolep is where I need to be. Going to the rainy link I waited near the cavern and there will be a wind that blows through it. Then when the watcher's sight was restored he was in the cavern near the stairs to the top where he would look upon the tree of D'ni. I waited near the stairs and thought later I might need to enter the tree and wait there. No wind came. I also waited near the cavern where I could see the tree and volcano and be near the stairs. I also tried these with the sunny link as well. Those were the only clues I got from the watcher..

Asuming the cavern of Rolep is where the tree is..

[Christian Walther]

You are correct about needing to be in Rolep, but you are mistaken about where Rolep is. The Cleft is a bit small to be referred to as a “cavern”, isn’t it? It’s a different tree that the Watcher writes about.

[astromjr9]

I re-read the book about the watcher. I also thought about where the different caverns are. I went to the cavern where I threw the pellets in above and below, I went to the big round looking ball at the end of the tram and waited there, and I even went to the cavern where all the totem poles and symbols are that match the ones in the tree and waited there. And I waited and waited and waited......(sometimes a half hour!)

CYAN will have a new a new adventure coming out next year!! I was happy to pledge for that.

You are reading the writings of the Watcher. Is there a place specifically associated with him? You'll find what you need there.

Also, when you read the books, make sure you pay attention to the lines highlighted by those numbers you find everywhere in the PotS Ages. There should be 17 of those, although I think some of them are kinda repeats and are not as important.

[astromjr9]

Fortunately I photographed 15 of the 17 numbers scattered throughout the different ages. I already know I must sit and wait.
4:10 says " the watcher's number is 625" I take that I need to wait 6 minutes and 25 seconds.
2:30 says "darkness comes at the end of time." I waited in the cavern where the stone ball and clock is. When the ticking stopped the door opened and I went back into the
shell room.
4:52 says "The way is made clear at the end of time." When the door opened again I went to the link book to the cathedral.
3:66 says "The passing of time brings the past to the present." I thought that meant to use the cathedral and link to the past (sky) and link forward to the present (water)

I feel I am getting close to solving this!!

[Magic88889]

You're on the right track I think. Just a note: that 625 is the same 625 that you used for the pellet ovens and the same 625 that was associated with the Bahro cave. I don't think it means 6 minuets 25 seconds.

[astromjr9]

Can you give me a hint on where Rolep is located????

[Christian Walther]

It’s the place that is named after the Watcher.

[astromjr9]

I thought it was the shell room or the great looking glass at the end of the tram or the room with the stone ball. Am I getting warm somewhere here??

[Christian Walther]

I’m not sure what you mean by these descriptions. Maybe it’s just been too long since I played Uru CC (or even completed these ages on MOULa). Can you post pictures? If I’m guessing right (which is unlikely because it would mean that two of them are one and the same), then at least some of them are actually located in Rolep.

If you want a blatant spoiler about what Rolep is (not about the rest of the puzzle you are trying to solve), look at https://dni.fandom.com/wiki/Special:Search?query=rolep.

[Magic88889]

The room with the Stone ball. I’m not sure that’s technically Rolep, but the clues you have apply to that room

[astromjr9]

I have the right cavern. I waited in front of the tree hologram screen, on the balcony overlooking the dark walkway, on the staircase overlooking the hologram screen, turned on the ticking clock at various times, linked through the different ages of time and I haven't hit on the right combination yet. Can you give me another hint??

1:4 -- The door lies at the end of the path. So we have to find the path, and the door lies at the end of it! Ok, so where's the path?
1:38 -- The passing of time brings the path to the gathered. So the path will come to us as time passes?
1:89 -- Be still and the path will be made known. Ok, so if we are "still" the path will come to us.

4:10 -- The number of the watcher is six hundred and twenty five. That's the same 625 that we used earlier. If you remember, it ended up being about 15 minuets.
4:52 -- The way is made clear at the end of time. So at the end of that time, after 15 mimuets, the path will be made clear.

2:19 -- The action of the deceived is toiling in vain.
3:110 -- The path of the stone is toil for the gathered.
5:57 -- The path is folly for those who toil.
Ok, so don't toil.

4:81 -- The future is always revealed to those who wait. Lining up with earlier clues, it's pretty clear we're supposed to wait, and be still while we do it.
4:96 -- Rest in the light. So this tells us "where" to rest. Just need to figure out what light.
5:18 -- The gathered will find rest when the light comes. "The light comes"? So it's not always there?


I've tried to arrange these passages in groups that make sense together, and add a few comments to them that might help you out. I'll also say that the solution is extremely simple, and you're likely overthinking it.
