Some of these puzzles are 'easy', but for those that need speed, there's actually a 'helper addon', that works on all 3 kinds of puzzles (Cantaric, Mezzonic and Fugueal): Zereth Mortis Puzzle Helper available on curse.
Don't thank ME, thank httpsx by supporting him and his addon if possible :D
Edit: I found another kind of puzzle, similar to the untying ones from Nazjatar, but those I found are easy enough.

- To solve this puzzle you need to deactivate all lights in the grid
- You can press on left or bottom row controls to switch the color of all cells in the row/column.
- You can press only 5 rows and 5 columns, so 10 in total (at least that's what the Firim said)
And if you fail the grid will reset or you can reset it manually- The pattern is random but kinda obvious to see
Here is demo of what you should do to solve the puzzle https://youtu.be/XdPyU1nUo5Q

Thanks for the tips on how to do the puzzles, the addons, the endless youtube videos. Could someone inform WHERE to get the quest started? I believe it's a drop but no clue what it drops off. Thank you in advance.

Description
Maw Walker, it appears that Pocopoc has learned the Cachial skill. This grants you access to the Caches of Creation. You will find several types of these caches all throughout Zereth Mortis. In order to aid me with my research, you will need to be able to decode various cyphers such as the Cantaric Protolock. Now, let me show you what you need to do to assist me.

Item facts are the current retail client’s (ItemSparse); the specialisations for a pick-one item are the ones the Blizzard quest API lists; faction and currency text is the client’s own. Lowest listed price = the US commodity auction house now.
