- You will notice two pixies standing outside a ruins. This is the Tower of Conundrum. Enter.
- Before going up the stairs, you'll see "Inbrum's Scroll." Pick it up and proceed into the next few rooms.
- On every other floor after the first three you will reach a Pixie. She will give you a riddle and you will have to give her the correct answer. The alternate floors will be a mix of pixies, skulls, lichs, and golems (lead, iron, and diamond). One of the pixies will have a key that you need to loot to open the door to get to the stairs.
