- 3Cleanse the Sanctum of Penitence: Locate the missing pillar piece.
- 4Slot Piece into the Pillar: Drag the pillar piece down to the lower level and place it into its slot on the left pillar.
- 5Use Force Palm to Slot it In: Stand on top of the hovering pillar piece and use the Force Palm ability to fully secure the piece into the pillar, solving the puzzle.
- 6Use Blinding Flash to Activate the Dial: After cleansing, an optional dial puzzle will appear. Use Blinding Flash on the crystal-like stones around the outer rim of the dial.
