The Old ??? In A Nutshell

Yeah, so this thread is just for people who had no idea how to solve the old ??? quest. Here it is:

Step 1: You needed meteor shards. One meteor was found close in the region between Olux and Llevigar. Another meteor was found close to Geliboard and Olux. The final one was found near Cinfras and the Light Forest.

Step 2: Many of you probably saw the gigantic meteor behind Cinfras. You also probably saw there were a crap ton of brown carpets on it. One of the carpets contained a hopper underneath it. You throw the meteor shards in the hopper and a door would open a little above it. Enter it.

Step 3: When you go inside the door, you fall down a little chute. After falling down, you saw a puzzle, with 4 numbers. The code was 1754. (It took me 5 days to figure this out, I just started at 0000 and went up to 1754 after calculating it) Turns out the code was in a tower nearby. Once entering the code, another door would open, to the right of the numbers.

Step 4: Once going through the door, you would see a huge room with a red, yellow, blue, and green sphere. You would also see an NPC, named Mehme. Turns out Mehme loves living by himself, he says like 7 weird things, then the quest is complete. Or is it?

Step 5??: So.... Me and a few friends didn't know what to do after the quest was over, but here is the other parts that we found. Seems like a bland quest right? IT'S NOT! It was a great puzzle, and this step and the next one prove it. Once in this huge room with Mehme, you see two long hallways, one containing a loot chest and one being empty. However, there were also iron pressure plates that you could throw emeralds onto. Once throwing emeralds onto both plates, some banners would pop up. Remember earlier when I mentioned the colored spheres? After studying the banners, you go to each sphere in the order like the banners were on the wall. Each sphere contains a button under it AFTER you activated the pressure plates. After hitting the buttons, a huge light would appear, telling you to go to a room with a huge sphere with beacons in it. This was the tricky part. Upon entering the room, you would see beacons underground that weren't there before. You had to step on invisible blocks in the air, where the beacons are. After doing parkour to the top of the sphere, you could jump to another closed door with a pressure plate outside of it. After stepping on the plate, the door would open.

Step 6??: I honestly didn't figure this out. Here's all I discovered. After going through a door there was a spiral staircase leading downwards. Once down, you would see the ruins of ??. I have no idea. There were a few words with letters like Me@e×r St*or%ge (Meteor Storage). The whole place was like this. There was a research lab, a meteor storage, and a few other things like a bed and heads of Mehme, Yahya, and Nohno. There wasn't really too much else there. I tried throwing emeralds into the floor EVERYWHERE. I still found nothing. I even tried throwing the 'Strange Mushroom' from Thesead, since Yahya is a mushroom crazed villager, into something in the room. Nothing happened. All I can say is that there was a thing that looked like a wooden door at the back end of the room, but no matter what, it didn't open.

So yeah, that is the old ??? in a nutshell. What do you guys think was in the ruins? Did anyone figure the rest out? Was the room just there for decoration? I have no idea. This quest was cool and I love the idea of the mystery behind it, even though I think I didn't finish it completely. I hope this thread helps people who are too lazy to ask others about the old ???.
