During the “The Unwritten Realms: The Spinning Wheel” quest, you’ll search for Maleficent’s second Anchor Moment following your encounter with the first. This time, you’ll enter a dungeon full of teacups and suits of armor. Let’s dive into how to solve these puzzles and find Maleficent’s second anchor moment.

When you first enter The Spinning Wheel’s dungeon, you’ll immediately spot some teacups blocking your path and several suits of armor. Progressing beyond this point reveals a larger room with statues of Aurora, a spinning wheel, and additional suits of armor. Don’t worry about the armor—we’re only focused on the statues for this quest.

More importantly, though, we have a small hint paper you can interact with after entering this second room. Reading it reveals the following hint:

“Raise high the fingertip and the spinning wheel, and a path forward thou shalt reveal.”

As you investigate both statues, you’ll notice that they have water mechanisms to interact with. Starting with the Spinning Wheel, run over to it, break the teacups blocking access, and use your watering can to raise its platform.

Unfortunately, you’ll need a few extra steps to do this with Aurora’s. The wheel is missing, requiring you to venture to the room behind her to solve a separate puzzle. One of the first things you’ll spot after descending its staircase is a third water wheel, which you can water to create a small bridge.

Before we can cross it, though, we’ll need to navigate a mini maze. Follow the path, clearing away any obstacles you find using your Royal Tools until you spot a fourth water wheel behind some rocks. Break them and activate this wheel before backtracking to the beginning, crossing the bridge, and claiming the wheel.

Now that you have the missing wheel, use it on Aurora’s statue and water it to raise both platforms, unlocking the room’s door. Inside the next room is Maleficent’s second Anchor Moment, which you can return to her to conclude the Spinning Wheel quest and begin the “The Unwritten Realms: Maleficent’s Demise” mission.
