Suncraft Torch Puzzle — Exact Five-Color Solution

FAST ANSWER

The cave torches use a five-color clockwise sequence; this answer gives the order and prevents orientation mistakes.

Set the Suncraft cave torches to black, green, white, blue, and red, starting with the top torch and moving clockwise. The starting point and direction are part of the answer: using the right colors in a mirrored or rotated order will not solve the layout.

Stand where the top torch is visually clear, then choose a fixed clockwise direction before changing anything. Set all five values in one pass. If a torch cycles through colors, count from the color currently displayed instead of assuming every torch starts in the same state.

The solution source explains that the floor design corresponds to areas of the island. That clue is useful for understanding the puzzle, but you do not need to guess a biome order after reaching this page: the current reported sequence is the table above.

Verify the entered sequence

Check these causes in order:

1. Wrong starting point: black belongs on the top torch.
2. Reversed direction: the rest must run clockwise—green, white, blue, red.
3. One skipped cycle: inspect each torch after the final input rather than relying on click counts. Avoid copying only the visible left-to-right order from somebody else's screenshot. Camera angle can mirror the arrangement while the top-and-clockwise instruction stays unambiguous.

The checked sources do not document a reload, room re-entry, or reset procedure for a correctly entered sequence that fails to register.

What this unlocks

Steam's current achievement list says Riddle Master requires the book, torch, and pillar riddles. After this cave registers, complete the Suncraft book riddle and Suncraft pillar puzzle, then use the Riddle Master checklist if the achievement remains locked.
