Contents
Required Equipment
- Rope
- Shovel
- Access to Gnomebase Alpha (rank 2 of Bigfoot's Burden Quest)
- At least stage 2 of the Deeplings World Change opened on your server
Method
Obtaining Sphere
Go to northern Ab'Dendriel, south of the fruit store, here, open the hole with a shovel and go down.
To the west is a walled chamber with no visible entrance. To open it, use/light the northern torch bearer (I) and then use the southern torch bearer (II).
Note: the door may close while you are inside. To open from the inside, use the southern torch bearer again (II).
You will see a collection of books and crates. Use the Crate (Heavy) (on the bottom of a stack of crates) to find an Opticording Sphere.
Gather visions
You now must go all around Tibia and find strange symbols engraved in certain places. Once found, use the Opticording Sphere at the spot. The engravings must be decoded using binary to ASCII text conversion in order to reveal their true message. If you stand on the correct spot when using the sphere a message will appear: "Suddenly, the opticording sphere emits an extremely bright light. It seems something inside the sphere has changed.". If you are on the wrong spot the following message appears instead: "Nothing happens except... no, absolutely nothing is happening at all."
The following is all the data you will need (the order in which you go to these locations doesn't matter):
Roof of the Prison and Garrison | Roof of Paupers Palace | Roof of Crunor's Finest Warehouse |
- Gnomebase - Ferumbras
- Go to the Mushroom Farms, and use the Sphere near the Strange Symbols (Mushroom Gardens).
- Gray Island - Qjell
- Go to the main Fiehonja library (Stage 2 or 3 of the Deeplings World Change required, lvl 120+ recommended) and use the Sphere (Deepling ornament is on the floor).
- Ankrahmun - Zoralurk
- Go to Horestis Tomb, first floor underground and use the Sphere (Hieroglyphs are on the walls and pillars).
- Ab'Dendriel - Garsharak
- Go to the temple and use the Sphere (symbols are on the Strangely Shaped Menhir).
The translation of the symbols to visions is as follows.
Venore
The first strange symbols tile contains the following binary code:
01010110 01100101 01101110 01101111 01110010 01100101
Every sequence of 8 bits can be translated to a text symbol in the UTF-8 character set, e.g. using this website which results in the text: Venore.
The second strange symbols tile contains the following binary code:
00110000 01100011 00110000 00110100 00110001 01100001 00110000 00110111
Every sequence of 8 bits can be translated to a text symbol in the UTF-8 character set, e.g. using this website which results in the text: 0c041a07, which is still in hexadecimal format.
The third strange symbols tile contains the following binary code:
00110000 00110000 00110000 01100001 00110010 00110010 00110000 01100100
Every sequence of 8 bits can be translated to a text symbol in the UTF-8 character set, e.g. using this website which results in the text: 000a220d, which is still in hexadecimal format.
If you take the hexadecimal result from the second and third tile and put a space after every second character you get the following hexadecimal sequence of characters: 0c 04 1a 07 00 0a 22 0d. Converting every hexadecimal character to binary results in:
0c = 00001100 04 = 00000100 1a = 00011010 07 = 00000111 00 = 00000000 0a = 00001010 22 = 00100010 0d = 00001101
The next step consists in applying XOR to the 8 sequences above, using the corresponding line of the Venore sequences as the key. Since Venore only has 6 letters, you need to use the first 2 sequences for the 7th and 8th sequences of the encrypted word:
00001100 XOR 01010110 (V) = 01011010 00000100 XOR 01100101 (e) = 01100001 00011010 XOR 01101110 (n) = 01110100 00000111 XOR 01101111 (o) = 01101000 00000000 XOR 01110010 (r) = 01110010 00001010 XOR 01100101 (e) = 01101111 00100010 XOR 01010110 (V) = 01110100 00001101 XOR 01100101 (e) = 01101000
Finally, you convert this binary sequences into Wikipedia:ASCII characters, for example using this website, and you get Zathroth.
Gnomebase
The Strange Symbols (Mushroom Gardens) contains the following binary code:
01010010 01011010 01010001 01000001 01001100 01010100 01010001 01000100 01000101
Every sequence of 8 bits can be translated to a text symbol in the UTF-8 character set, e.g. using this website which results in the text: RZQALTQDE. Replacing each letter with the one following it in the alphabet (A becomes B, B becomes C and so forth) one obtains: SARBMUREF. By reversing the result one obtains: FERUMBRAS, which is Ferumbras.
Gray Island
There is some tile which contains the following binary code:
01010001 01001010 00101101 00101000 00101000
Every sequence of 8 bits can be translated to a text symbol in the UTF-8 character set, e.g. using this website which results in the text: QJ-(( (another name for Qjell, god of the Deeplings).
Ab'Dendriel
The message is hidden on a Strangely Shaped Menhir at Ab'Dendriel's temple, here. The fact that there is a message hidden here is described in Tassondis's Discoveries (Book), which is located at Oramond's Forge.
In order to decode this, you must take a screenshot of the while having the Antialising graphics setting disabled on the client, 100% ambient light and no light source equipped. Casting Great Light is recommended. Paste this screenshot on Paint Brush and look for some isolated gray pixels with a different color. Then, use the color picker to select this color and set the second color on paint brush to a very strong color, e.g. yellow. Select the eraser and right-click and drag the cursor the image. If you done everything correctly, the code should be much easier to visualize in the color you picked, like the image shown here. These dots, in binary, correspond to
01000111 01100001 01110010 01110011 01101000 01100001 01110010 01100001 01101011
Translating into text in the UTF-8 character-set results in Garsharak.
Ankrahmun
There are Hieroglyphs which contain the following binary code:
01011010 01001111 01010010 01000001 01001100 01010101 01010010 01001011
Every sequence of 8 bits can be translated to a text symbol in the UTF-8 character set, e.g. using this website which results in the text: ZORALURK, which is Zoralurk.
Five Walls of Testimony
Now that you have all 5 visions, you can begin with the NPC dialog. Go back to the Ab'Dendriel Forge. Use the skull to the west to open the path to the NPC Mysterious Ornate Chest (NPC).
Say to the NPC (the order may differ depending on the order in which you acquired visions):
- hi - Zoralurk
- hi - Ferumbras
- hi - Garsharak
- hi - Zathroth
- hi - QJ-((
You will now be asked the meaning of the five walls of testimony. Leave the room (light the torches and use the torch west of the chest if you get trapped) and travel to the Dwarf Mines in the surface west of Kazordoon. Go down into the southern mine entrance, here, then follow the path to the right and go down the hole, as if you were going to the Sunken Mines. Walk south into the flooded tunnels, then continue east until you find another room with a blocked entrance.
In order to enter the room, you must walk the tiles in a specific order, walking diagonally.
Note: If the door closes while you are inside, use the torch bearer south of the Chalk Board to open it again.
Inside the room you will find Opticorder Forge (NPC) and a Strangely Shaped Block to the east. Again, to obtain the keywords, it was necessary to convert binary symbols visible on the two walls of the block to ASCII text. The method to decode this is the same used on the Strangely Shaped Menhir in Ab'Dendriel's temple, explained above.
These dots, in binary, correspond to
01101001 01110011 01101111 01101100 01100001 01110100 01100101 01100100 01100011 01110010 01100001 01100100 01101100 01100101
Translating into UTF-8 characters you'll get isolated cradle, which is the keyword you must say to the NPC. After doing so, use the Opticorder Forge object.

You may then travel back to the Ab'Dendriel Forge and tell the keyword marionettes to Mysterious Ornate Chest (NPC) (this comes from the text shown when you use the sphere after gathering all visions: The sphere shows a faint glow. You seem to recognise several words: "Manipulated from above, dancing on a string."). Doing this will unlock the chest and allow you to use it. Note: You might have to use the chest first for it to sync properly before speaking to the NPC.

You will receive a Mysterious Metal Egg. This egg can be opened to reveal an Opticompass Sphere and a Rolled-up Parchment. If you use the Opticompass Sphere you will receive the message The needle spins inside the compass.
Wrecked Opticorder Forge
Go to the Otherworld (Dwarf Bridge) which can be entered here and kill 10 creatures inside the cave and enter the Glowing Vortex located here. If the hole isn't there you'll have to wait until the next Otherworld rotation, which happens every 2 hours (based on the Server Save).
Walk to the south here and look for a Strange Stone (this stone seems strangely fragile). Here you need to use any item on the Strange Stone to open a hole to the lower floor.
Throw any of those items on the strange stone and a Hole will appear. Go down the hole, here. You will see a Wrecked Opticorder Forge, click on it to obtain a Broken Opticording Sphere (A broken opticording sphere lies just beneath the forge. Apart from a shattered shell, its mechanisms are in perfect condition.). Use the Broken Opticording Sphere on your Opticording Sphere to obtain a Complete Opticording Sphere (do it right away because the Broken Opticording Sphere disappears after one minute).
A message will appear: "The Key mechanism from the broken device is still in perfect condition and completes your opticording sphere."
Opticompass Sphere Part II
Now you have to travel to Krailos, where using the sphere will lead you east from town, to a place with dragon bones. Use a pick on the tile north of the Pile of Bones, here to go into a small cave. The northwest area contains a color puzzle and a corridor behind a stone door. If you remove all light-emitting objects on your character you will see the tiles change colours (Blue - Red - Yellow) as you step on them. Also, in the minimap you will see a certain black dots and lines in a hallway, which is, again, binary code.
The binary code from the Rolled-up Parchment in the egg is °°°°°'''''°'''°° = 0000011111011100 = 2012 in decimal.
The binary code from the minimap (as shown to the right) in the cave is: 00001011 and 00001111 = 11 and 15 in decimal.
Based on this, we have a date: 15/11/12.
Check the Tibia news archive for this date and you should find a teaser concerned with the latest revamp of Venore. Open the first animated gif image you come across and you should notice a flashing frame that is very hard to see. Once you manage to freeze that frame, it will show a 5x5 color pattern made with blue, red, and yellow flowers. This is the answer to the color puzzle. The easiest way is to start at the south and then work to the north. Remember that the tiles have a timer and will be switched into default tiles after waiting for too long, so you got to hurry a bit. When you complete the puzzle will you get teleported into the room ("Before you get a chance to react, you find yourself at the other side of a solid wall in the midst of a dark tunnel."). If you want to enter the room again after exiting, you don't have to do the entire puzzle again: just use the Stone Wall (Draft) that is adjacent to the hallway.
Once inside you will find an Opticorder Analyser. Click on the Analyser, having in your Backpack the Complete Opticording Sphere. You will recieve the message "The device fits. A lock clicks, the strange thing starts rumbling and then grinds to a halt faster than you can say 'magic'." and the Analyser would turn into Opticorder Analyser (Activated).
An Observer Eye
Note: You will need a melee weapon during this mission, don't forget to bring one! You should also bring your Opticording Sphere since it's most likely required, even though this was not tested yet.
This part takes place on the Halls of Hope, and can only be done by a team of 2 players. For instructions on how to gain access to the gates, check the Forgotten Knowledge Quest. Go into the Energy Portal and go to the center of the room, here. To pass the wall, you need a password, which is PLNSTRDR. Say it in the Local Chat or NPCs Channel and you'll be teleported to another room one floor down.

The position of the pins represent binary code that reveal the password.
01010000 01001100 01001110 01010011 01010100 01010010 01000100 01010010
Using the same website as before, this can be converted into text to find the password PLNSTRDR.
Opticording Sphere Quest - An Observer Eye
In order to get to the next room, you'll need to pull a lever. To reach the lever, one player must enter the door to the west (with the water) and step on the Embedded Emerald floor while the other enters the east door (the control chamber) and steps on the Embedded Topaz floor. In order to move through the platforms, the player in control chamber must make movements on the ornamented floor, including diagonals. The movements made by this player will be reflected on the player on the other side. The platforms will sink and rise randomly, so the player giving the commands must pay attention to their movements. It's possible to stand on a Platform Rising From Water and on a Platform Sinking Into Water, but you'll fall into the water if you step on a Platform Under Water (You slip and fall right into shark infested waters but somehow you manage to escape their razor-sharp teeth. Lucky!). This way, one character must guide the other without letting him fall into the water. If this happens, the character moving on the platforms will be sent outside of the room. You have 5 minutes to do this before being teleported out, but you can try it again as many times as you need.

As soon as the lever is pulled, both players will be teleported to the room with An Observer Eye.

After killing An Observer Eye you will loot a Lightsphere. Currently its use is not known. Be careful when leaving, you'll be sent to a room with 5 or more servants.
Dolis - The Last Planegazer
A new Site was discovered under the Gnome Deep Hub. You can access it by entering the Gnomus' tasks area and then going to the Lost Ruin, here. There will be one Skull Pillar and one Pillar Vine. Use them once each to be sent to the forge.
Inside the forge, you'll find an Opticorder Rectifier and Blue Spectacles inside a chest just next to it. You can also read about the experiences of one the planegazers in Lone Gatekeeper (Book). When using the Blue Spectacles near the crops, you'll have a glimpse of a ghost.
Go to all other Sites and use the Spectacles in them to see their respective ghosts:
- In Ab'Dendriel, here;
- Near the Sunken Mines, here;
- In the Rathleton Sewers, here (go down here, then here);
- On Krailos, here;
After using the Blue Spectacles inside all Sites, go back to the one in the Gnome Deep Hub. You will now be able to use the Opticorder Rectifier and an Energy Gate will appear. Enter it to access the Headquarters of the Planegazers.
The very moment you place the opticorder into the rectifier a beam of light emerges to create a gate directly across the room.
You will find many Ghosts of Planegazers here. They are very hard to kill alone and don't pose much of a threat, so don't bother trying to kill them. They will attack you from a distance but you can keep them away using Fire Bombs and Fire Walls. You now must gather 3 Vocal Keys to be able to enter the Chamber of Reflections. Find the 3 NPCs on the south-east part of the map: Yielothax, Glimpse of Allusion and WOX. You must greet them using the known password PLNSTRDR.
- The Yielothax, will give you a riddle: ...THE THING ... WAS ASKED EIGHT AND SHAPED FIVE WITH HIS MOUTH... THE THING WAS THEN ASKED SIXTEEN AND SHAPED SEVEN... I ASK YOU SEVEN. The answer is the number of characters in the word: eight has five characters, sixteen has seven characters, and seven has five characters as well, which is the answer;
- The Glimpse of Allusion will ask you a series of questions about an Edron traveller. The answers can be found in a room on the northern part of the map, called The Travelling Savant (Book). The correct answers you must say are: Fiehonja, Tin Key and Food Crate.
- Finally, you must talk to WOX using Jekhr, the Deeplings' language. He will ask JEH GOUTHN JARKH. UM DIVIDE J. UT JE JUL KU LH. GONN EN NA? (The surface come in peace. And we let him stay. What are you?). Tell him you are Buhel, a visitor. (This dialog can also be found in a book in the Fiehonja Library).
After talking to the 3 NPCs and gathering their Vocal Keys, you can access the Chamber of Reflections. You can enter the chamber with a team of up to 5 players. Once inside, you have to kill 5 bosses, one by one:
The Last Planegazer drops The Cube. This fight can be repeated every 7 days.
The Supreme Cube
Missing Piece of the Cube
The Cube obtained from the Last Planegazer is not complete. You can find The Missing Piece of the Cube down a small Crypt north of Edron.
Forge the Supreme Cube
With your Complete Opticording Sphere,
The Cube, and
The Missing Piece of the Cube, travel to Gray Island and go down the hole all the way to the east, here. Down the hole you'll find a small platform near the water. Step on it to access the final Opticording Forge. Use the three items on the Opticording Combinator north of you, and then use the machine to combine then into
The Supreme Cube.
Into the Supreme Cube
Note: It's a good idea to bring one or two regular Picks with you, having an extra pick can save you some precious time if you make a mistake in some of the puzzles.
With The Supreme Cube in hand, you can now travel inside the Cube. To do that, just use The Supreme Cube anywhere you are. Be careful: Upon using the cube, you'll be sent to a room with 4 Planedwellers that can deal more than 1000 damage each. Since you don't have to kill them (just wait 15 seconds), if you're alone you can trap yourself to the south-west to be safer, as shown below.
Now that you're inside the Supreme Cube, you'll have to go through several rooms, each one with a puzzle, to proceed to the final boss fight.
Room 1

- Rope from the Skeleton;
- Wooden Plank from the Heap of Rubbish.
- Old Fanfare from the Ashes.
- Old Lute from the Brass-Shod Chest.
- Bucket Filled with Gravel from the box.
- Blue Spectacles from the Bookcase.
- Parchment from the book.
The Rope, the Plank of Wood and the Fanfare are essential to complete all puzzles. The other items seem to be there just as flavor and to confuse you. Each item has a 20 minutes cooldown to be obtained again.
Room 2
To proceed through this room, just push the rightmost button. A door will open to the south.
Room 3

Use the Plank of Wood on the stream of water to create a small bridge and walk through to the next room.
Room 4
Nothing to do here, just go north.
Room 5

Room 6
In this room there will be some Planedwellers. If you are with a team, or at least 2 players, you should take the opportunity to kill them. To make them weaker, use the Old Fanfare on them. Even when weakened they heal very quickly, which is why it's advisable to not do it solo. You have to loot 9 different Marbles from them (each one has a different number when looked at). Ideally, you will want one set for each player of the team, though it should be possible to complete everything with just two sets.
After killing or ignoring the Planedwellers, go to the south.
Room 7
Once again, move the pipes on the floor to connect the three circles them and open the passage.
Room 8
Again, move the pipes. Use the three pipes at the center and the one to the right to open the passage.
Room 9
One more time: move the pipes to open the passage.
Room 10
Move the pipes to open the passage.
Room 11

Room 12
Use the Rope or a Secret Agent tool on the rope spot to open the passage to the south.
Room 13
Press the single button here and then go south.
Room 14

Room 15
Again: move the pipes to open the passage.
Room 16
Move the pipes to open the passage.
Room 17

Room 18
Again, connect the pipes.
Room 19

Down -- Middle -- Up
Room 20
Inside this room, ignore the depot locker. Just dig around until the passage opens to the west. You can kill the Snakes if you need to.
Room 21
Use the pipe connections on the left side of the room to connect the circles.
Room 22

- Five buttons pressed down;
- Two buttons half-pressed;
- One button up.
Room 23

Room 24

Note: It won't work if you try to do this before visiting the room for the first time, so you'll have to enter the first time before pouring the water on Venore.
Now you have to return to the Cube, however, there's a 2 hours cooldown for using The Supreme Cube again. so you may have to wait that.
If you did the (real) Venore part correctly, you should see a Water Splash effect when you enter this room again. If you don't see this effect you'll have to leave the Cube and go to Venore try again. With the access complete, just enter the teleport to the right.
Room 25
Here, talk to the Deepling Idol. You have to say the sentence written on the note (Qjell watches over us) in Jekhr, which translates to QJ-(( ^=^B 8OC J-\.
Room 26

Room 27

Room 28

Room 29
To go through this room, you'll need one of each Marble type (I to IX) in your inventory. If your team has only two sets, one player can go in and out giving the second set so all members can get inside the room.
Room 30
This is the lever room. Up to 5 players can join the fight against the Planestrider.
Planestrider
Opticording Sphere Quest - Planestrider
You can fight Planestrider with up to 5 players. You have 10 minutes to defeat it before being sent back to The Cube's entrance. Note that once inside the boss room, there's no exit, you have to kill it or wait for the timeout.
This fights consists of attacking the boss while also solving a couple of Puzzles to deal massive damage to it. After some time in the fight, 3 Lost Ghosts of a Planegazer will appear. They are immune to all damage and you should just ignore them.
The Planestrider does not take a lot of damage and can only be attacked from distance, but still you should be able to deal a reasonable amount of damage to it over time. Inside the room there will be those same "pipes" and a valve. You can align the pipes and use the valve afterwards, but it's currently unclear exactly what this does, but it seems to be related to triggering the puzzles when the pipes are yellow and connected to the boss.
There are three different puzzles, and any number of players can be sent to them. When you successfully complete a puzzle, Planestrider will take 5000 damage, which is the most important way to damage the boss.
Resist:
In this puzzle room there is only one button. Simply do nothing and resist, as the note on the wall suggests. After 15 seconds you will be teleported out.
Press all buttons:
In this puzzle with 9 buttons, you have to press all buttons twice. You can then leave the room using the triangle on the wall.
Make an X:
In here you'll find 25 buttons. Press those necessary to make an "X" and then you can leave the room.
By doing the puzzle and attacking the boss you should easily kill it and be sent to the reward room.
Rewards
Inside the two Mysterious Ornate Chests, you'll get a Monolith of the Planes Kit and a Parchment. You can also talk to the Planestrider now to learn more about it.
You'll also get the Planegazer title.
