Warden’s Fortress and Warden’s Vault

Room on the Bridge

At the entrance, you’ll find your first puzzle.

Here’s how to solve it:

  1. Look at the statues near the entrance
  2. Turn around and go to the tower on the opposite side
  3. Go downstairs in that tower
  4. Arrange the statues there to match the pattern you saw at the entrance
  5. When you get the pattern right, the room will unlock

That’s it – just copy what you see upstairs to complete the puzzle downstairs.

Warden’s Vault

There’s a special puzzle inside that uses shields and skeletons found around the area. When you first enter the fortress, look to the left for a room with many barrels. Break these barrels to find 3 shields and 3 torches on the wall behind them. You need to activate these.

Next, go back outside and head left where you can climb up. Go inside the building up there to find the same shields with torches. Enter this room and pull the first lever.

Leave that room and jump down to the main hall. Walk to the end and turn right through the far door. You’ll see a skeleton – just walk past it for now. Keep going until you reach the center of the fortress. Look for a broken wall with a barrel on the second floor. Shoot the barrel to make a ladder fall down.

Climb the ladder and grab the spark. Go back down and return to the previous room. Turn left right away, go to the end, and shoot the spark into the hole in the wall. This wakes up a skeleton who will pull a lever, letting you get to the second shield.

Now go back to that skeleton you walked past earlier. Wake it up and follow its ghost. You need to stop at every skeleton you find inside the fortress. After you find them all, the ghost leads you back to the main hall where a new path opens with the last shield.

Finally, go down to the basement in the main hall. Look for the newly opened room. Inside you’ll find a special Purple Ring and some skill points for your companion.

The Challenge with the Fires and the Cave

You need to light four things in this exact order:

  • First Fire.
  • Second Fire.
  • Third Fire and The Cave.

That’s the whole puzzle.
