Since Jafar arrived in the valley, he's been looking into how to stop the strange geometric magic from the objects. The quest kicks off when you talk to Jafar about his research, and he asks you to gather some tools to help with his magical experiments.

Find Jafar’s Tools in the Cave of Wonders and EVE’s House

First, head over to the Cave of Wonders, which you can find in The Wastes of the Glittering Dunes biome. Once there, you’ll need to gather these tools:

  • 1 Polished Mirror
  • 2 Photonic Levers

You can pick up the Polished Mirror from the ground on a narrow path near a giant lever. One of the Photonic Levers is on your way to a puzzle grid inside the cave, and you’ll find the other one in the puzzle grid itself.

You can check out the above video for the exact locations of the Polished Mirror and two Photonic Levers.

Once you have the aforementioned tools, make your way to EVE’s House in The Docks biome to find three Power Cables.

Deliver Tools to Jafar

After gathering all the required tools, hand them over to Jafar. The royal vizier will now tell you that he needs another extremely important tool, a Dimensional Prism, to proceed further.

Jafar’s recipe for the Dimensional Prism requires these materials:

  • 1 x Jade (The Courtyard, The Overlook)
  • 1 x Spinel (The Promenade, The Grove)
  • 1 x Alexandrite (The Wastes, The Oasis)
  • 1 x Bumblestone (The Borderlands)
  • 1 x Evergem (The Ruins)

Once you have all the gems, you can head to a nearby crafting station and make the Dimensional Prism.

Set Up Machinery in Jafar's Laboratory

Next, you will need to go to Jafar’s Laboratory in his grand palace and hand over the items. He’ll then ask you to set up the machinery for the experiment. For that, connect EVE’s cables to the machine’s sockets, place the Dimensional Prism on the pedestal, and put the geometrically impaired objects inside his chamber.

Once everything’s set up, you will need to pull the giant levers to start the machinery and collect the repaired 2D items from the chamber.

Place Stabilized Objects in Their Biomes

Finally, you will have to place the Geometrically Stabilized Cactus in The Plains biome, the Geometrically Stabilized Tree in The Grasslands, and the Geometrically Stabilized Statue in The Docks. Once you've done that, talk to Jafar to finish the quest.
