Quote

When the first man picked up the first stone, he did not do so to forge a tool; he did so to smite his brother.

Prometheus Sparks

The first Prometheus Spark can be found near the entrance to Castling. While standing in front of the entrance to the puzzle, turn right and walk towards the corner ledge. Look down to a platform where you can drop to get it.

The second Prometheus Spark can be found by surrounding Alternatives. Follow the path by the wall opposite the puzzle entrance to find it next to a statue.
