The combination that will work for a user is random, but will consist of three items, one from each category - for example, the odd crystal, the fancy cane, and the pipe cleaners; or the lense, the ladle, and the length of rope. The player clicks three items - selected items become outlined in red - and attempts to construct a wand. Xandra's feedback tells the player how many of their choices were correct. There are 27 possible combinations of each type of item.  
The combination that will work for a user is random, but will consist of three items, one from each category - for example, the odd crystal, the fancy cane, and the pipe cleaners; or the lense, the ladle, and the length of rope. The player clicks three items - selected items become outlined in red - and attempts to construct a wand. There are 27 possible combinations of each type of item. Xandra's feedback tells the player how many of their choices were correct.  
 
*''"Hm, those fit together right... but they don't do anything. I don't even get a sense that any part of this wand could do magic. Let's try again."''
:None of the items are in the final solution.
*''"That's closer to being right... I'm not sure which parts are working, but I definitely can sense some magic potential in this wand. Let's try something else."''
:One of the three items is in the final solution.
*''We're almost there! This wand is almost built in a way that I can actually use it. Maybe just one more thing needs to be right...''
:Two of the items are in the final solution.  


The player can thus solve this puzzle like a simplified game of [[wikipedia:Mastermind (board game)|Mastermind]] - or its [[Neopets]] equivalents, [[Codebreakers]] or [[Time Tunnel]].
The player can thus solve this puzzle like a simplified game of [[wikipedia:Mastermind (board game)|Mastermind]] - or its [[Neopets]] equivalents, [[Codebreakers]] or [[Time Tunnel]].
Once the correct combination is found, the puzzle is complete. It can be replayed for the rest of the achievements or other random prizes in the first stage.
====Fearless deeds====
*'''The Shadows Beneath''' - ''Brynn has been captured, but Hanso goes against his better judgment and follows after her. He, Brynn, and Xandra are trapped in a cave by the evil wraiths, and must find a way to escape.''
:Complete the puzzle.
*'''[[Wikipedia:Blowin' in the Wind|How Many Tunnels Must An Ixi Walk Down?]]''' - ''Uh, all of them, I think.''
:Pass through each of the caves at least one.
*'''[[Wikipedia:The Horse Whisperer|The Goo Whisperer]]''' - ''You've got purple on you.''
:Free each of the prisoners without making any mistakes.
*'''[[Wikipedia:Never Gonna Give You Up|Never Gonna Shut You Up, Never Gonna Quiet You Down]]''' - ''Seal your cake receptacle, you conniving mountebank!''
:Shout out a greeting to the same prisoner - there must be a prisoner in the cave at the time - ten times in a row.
