During the exploration of the ruins of the alien city, you come upon a large structure with a gigantic gate that apears to be locked. The gate appears flawlessly smooth, except for three slots, where some sort of key should be fit. Can you traverse the unknown paths of the lost city, find the three keys that fit into the slots and arrange them in the right pattern?
