Rune of the Wolf Puzzle
No matter what order I do, it won't open. I stole the wolf rune and combined it. However, using the highlighting objects, there's about 4 of them listed? Anyways, I've tried counter clockwise, starting at each one, and it's not working, tried clockwise, same thing. Ideas?

are you talking the one in the druid area? Both times I did it I just put rune in the slot then I pressed/lit up all four runes and it opened. I don't think I followed any sort of pattern either time.

Yeah. I don't know what it is. I light them all up and it does nothing

The order which I always go with is Left, Right, Bottom, Top.

With 'bottom' being the rune closest to the entrance of the room and 'top' being the one furthest away.

'Left' is the rune directly across from where you placed the wolf, and 'Right' is the wolf rune itself.

I have in the past had an issue with triggering them all with the same character having the first one go out before the last one is lit. Now I unlink my party and position each character at a different rune, then cycle through the party and trigger them quickly.
its a timed event, you have to light them all up within some arbitrary time frame, like 15-20 seconds or the runes turn off

Oh I do lol. they all light up but nothing. I wonder if it's the bugged extra wolf runes that happened. I kept getting invalid combination and was very confused.

Once again, this is the pattern I always use.

Left (one directly across from the rune you implanted)

Right (the rune you implanted)

Bottom (rune closest to the door)

Top (rune furthest from the door)

That always seems to solve the puzzle for me.

Is it even a puzzle? I got the wolf rune and combined it. Then clicked that rune and did the rest clockwise from there. Maybe there is a difference if you obtain the rune by violence? I got it as a reward. My biggest issue with it was a graphics glitch which showed the door to the rune area as closed and no gear icons to interact with it. Could run to the spot but it looked my guys ran through a wall.

I stole it so maybe that broke something too

There is a note you can read from Halsin that mentions needing Nettle's Circlet to access the vault. So maybe kill her or steal it and see if that fixes it?

Couldn't steal it so I killed her, equipped it, did the runes again and nothing =(

Took me a while .. Activate the Wolf, Eagle, Bear, Elk and Wolf again. This worked for me after trying many combinations. It seemed ending on Wolf again is what opened it, or maybe its bugged .. who knows. Also if it appears bugged and showing the Wolf empty even after combining, just hold alt and left click the word Tablet of the Wolf. That's also handy when you're trying to pickup something amongst a cluster of items as well.

It is a puzzle? It just opens up without thinking for me.

Same. Not the bug, but the just circle around and touch each one and it opens.

What's this "Extra Wolf Runes" I read in a prior post from someone else?

I've never had more than one Wolf Rune to use in that one situation.

I understand that there's a duplication glitch with certain 3rd party cheats where duplicating quest items breaks things.

you know that "Extra Wolf Runes" ? Theres your problem right in front of you, your 3rd party cheat trainer failed to mention that as EricHVela said, duplicating quest items breaks things. Is there a way to fix this issue, of course there is, TURN OFF YOUR ITEMS DONT DECREASE CHEAT, load a saved game from before you were given or stole the reward (Wolf Rune), head back to rath and again claim or steal the reward, go to the pedestal and combine the rune and the pedestal, activate all pedestals and Karlachs your uncle. P.S if your going to cheat, cheat sensibly and make many backup saves before speaking to anyone !! your welcome :)
