InGENERAL DISCUSSION
Following Tryth's terminology, let's name the second imageimages as follows:
- INSTRUCTION1
- INSTRUCTION2
- INSTRUCTION3
- BOTTLES
- SCALES
- CODE TABLE
- KEYS
- LABELS
LABELS isn't really important, just there to help us with BOTTLES. The OP has intimated that SCALE is the yellow dots underkey to the bottles translatewhole thing, so let's take a careful look at SCALES. We have six tubes, labelled by different colours, from which liquid drips down into six pipes, which lead to: different points a balancing scales with two small grey weights on each end and more odd colours.

Shoving thisLook at INSTRUCTION1. The left half is still a mystery to me, but the right half shows bottles being emptied into Rumkin's basea tube of the same type as those on the scales. There are 5 bottles full of greyish-64 decipherer doesn't yield anything meaningfulblue stuff, and 5 squares coloured greyish-blue, so I'm still working on itI suspect each bottle in BOTTLES is going to fill up one of the small squares in SCALES after being poured through one of the tubes at the top.
Now INSTRUCTION2. We have a sequence of 24 bottles (the same number as in BOTTLES), and two more of those small grey weights. The first bottle at least gets poured into the 5th of the 6 tubes. The scales end up tipping one way or the other.
Could theWhat about INSTRUCTION3? We have a miniature version of SCALES printed on a big square things on, from which one corner in the shape of a jigsaw puzzle piece has been removed. This piece has a key on it, in the shape of one of those in KEYS. The piece is placed in a circle of 6 keys, one of which is chosen and inserted into what looks like CODE TABLE. Five cells in this table then have colours like those of the five outstanding bottles in INSTRUCTION1.
So here's what I think we need to do:
- decipher the squares and yellow dots in BOTTLES (reproduced in LABELS) into colours (a hunch)
- empty all 24 bottles into the tubes in SCALES, using the colours we've found to determine which tube each one gets poured through
- notice which way the scale tips, and use this somehow to deduce which of the KEYS to choose
- insert the chosen key into the CODE TABLE, and pick out a few cells somehow whose letters reorganise to give the passphrase
SOME SPECIFICS (PROBABLY WRONG)

(which I know nothing aboutnow suspect the squares on the bottles are something to do with colour codes (for which there are several different conventions)?.
