Here is my theory: The End Times had a testing phase on Halloween. The Eye being in Bob's shack for a ridiculously high price, and the Axe being produced on a single day would ensure that only a few people would be able to test out the new End Times Biome before all the glitches were sorted out. The items will likely be obtainable once again through this Shrine.

We therefore can eliminate testing revolving around Eyes and End Times Axes, such as throwing them needlessly into the lava pits. All limited time items will also likely not have any effect (such as glifts of any kind). That narrows our options signifiantly. I disagree, usually limited time items are the key items so your theory is highly unlikely. A similar event called the End Times Update occurred which required you to put an eye in the bridge stalls to reach the new biome with the expensive tree. It's possible a similar event will occur, possibly the Start Times, since Defaultio has a 'Start Times Axe' in his inventory. No I think you're very far off here....

Solving all of this just to have a "start times axe" is pretty redundant don't you think? End Times? Start Times? It's silly.

It's most likely something bigger, and I agree with 186Bryce, the only limited item that was a key in solving anything was the Ostrich Eye to go down to the end times biome, but you see, the eye wasn't anything like we've ever seen before...

At first glance, It was just a random eye... priced at... >>NEARLY HALF A MILLION<<... that is what triggered people to look deeper into it and as we've come to find out, it was more than just an eye for show.

Now this doesn't mean you should go ahead and throw down limited items in the pits, the other Items were NOTHING like the eye... the other items were gifts and stuff that came out during holidays or themed events. The eye was not, the eye was unique.

So don't go around throwing a bunch of limited time only items in there just because the eye worked. The eye was a separate case.

All in all, I think Bryce is right here and I highly doubt the puzzles will need any sacrificing of limited time only items.

It's time think bigger. I don't know how to solve the puzzle but I guarantee you there is more to it than throwing away a few items here and there.
