Ancient Battery is a quest in the storyline that begins when you unearth the glowing tube (battery) on your home plot. After Jina returns the tube, you must wait a day or so before things begin in earnest. You’ll receive mail from her stating that a door needs to be opened, and it can be found near where you appeared in the ruins.
Head to the ruins, but stay straight on the path instead of turning right toward the room you materialized in. As long as the battery is in your inventory, you can open the door. Inside is an empty basin and a mural with a riddle.
Ancient Battery Quest Riddle Answer
The riddle reads:
Knowledge grows the mind even in times of strife. To enter here, you must supply that which grows life.
The answer to the riddle lies in the ruin itself. Above the riddle is a wave motif. The description of the basin states it’s dry but rusted at the bottom. Combine these, and you have the answer to the riddle: water.

To move forward, take your watering can and fill up the basin. That will activate the ruins and open the door. You can go further in, but you need to speak with Jina in the basin room. She wants you to explore the room beyond the door. Unfortunately, you can’t make it very far as a chasm separates you from your quarry. Return to Jina to complete the quest and start a new one to obtain a glider.
