TheWoWDBHoly crap. I typically LOVE puzzle world quests and treasures like this, but this one took me way longer to figure out than it should have.
In case anyone is confused on what to do:
You are NOT trying to form any particular shape, like similar looking puzzles we've had in the past. Instead, you are trying to rearrange the dots so they are next to their 'buddy' dots. The lightning lines connecting them are there to tell you that those two dots want to be closer to each other.
eg. If there is lightning connecting the 1st dot on the top row to the 3rd dot on the bottom row, you would want to click on the 3rd dot on the bottom row and swap it with either the 1st dot on the bottom row OR the 2nd dot on the top row. Rinse and repeat for all dots until all of the lines turn blue. Solid blue line = dot is next to the correct dot(s).
It's tricky to explain, but once you understand it it's a super quick puzzle. Good luck!
