How to unlock the chessboard
It opens during the quest “Temple where the sand flows like tears.” The chessboard is located on the territory of Safkhe Shatranj. We marked the exact location on the map.
Below we explain how to find each shape and what you can do with it. Keep in mind that some of them are not accessible until you complete certain missions.

You will see a device flying away from you. Chase it until it stops. After that you can pick up this item.

What are chess pieces for?
Return to Safkh Shatranj.

Approach the seven activating devices and place the chess pieces you found. For each of them you will receive a precious chest. They will contain 5 source stones.
Difficulties can arise only with the installation of Deshret’s Crystal Goblet. The pedestal is not at the bottom, but at the top of one of the statues.

If you activate all seven chess pieces, you will get the Blood Moon achievement.
If you have completed the task “The Falcon Who Folded Its Wings”, then after installing all the figures, the quest “Memory of Gurabad” will begin.
