Celtic Knot Clues

Celtic Knot clues, only found in elite treasure trails, are fairly simple to solve. There are three tracks of runes in a knot (blue, red, and gray track)that intersect. However, there is no spot in the puzzle at which all three tracks intersect at the same time. Wherever two tracks intersect you will see a circle. There are always two runes at the spot of an intersection. if these two runes are different, the circle will be red. If the two runes are the same, the circle will be green. To solve the puzzle and unlock your scroll box, you must line up all three tracks so that the two runes at every track intersection are the same. Once all intersections have matching runes and turned green 'Unlock' to complete the puzzle.

Note You can move the tracks clockwise or anticlockwise by using the arrows. To view the runes on the underlying tracks use the 'Invert Paths' button. The puzzle can be reset by pressing the X in the top right corner or by logging out.

Pick two tracks to focus on; you will not need to pay any attention to the third track until you have completed the first step of solving the puzzle. Choose one track (f.e. red) that will stay still and one that you will be rotating (f.e. gray). Watch a certain rune on the red track, and use the arrows to move the red track in a full rotation. The rune you chose to watch should go all the way around the red track and finally stop in the spot it was in before you began rotating the track. Now, rotate the gray track once. Then, do exactly what you did before with the red track until all of the circles on the intersections of the red and gray tracks turn green. When you have found the point where all of these circles turn green, stop moving both tracks and leave them as they are. Now, move on to the blue track. Rotate the blue track around until all of the track intersections in the puzzle have turned green.
