The party enters this structure using the Stone Sword to seek out the master sculptor Rydon Kranbartle for the Kran Spinels. Traversing the dungeon requires solving see-saw bridge puzzles by utilizing party weight and moving stone statues to ascend each tier. Upon reaching the summit, Rydon explains he no longer has the jewels and directs the party to seek them at the statue atop the Tower of Alexandra instead.
