Caer Elis / Puzzle

[Drikø]

Hi, any heroes can't read the message also i can't resolve the puzzle, moreover i cant leave the place. Somebody can help me pls. :)

I have the same issue. I can get the first symbol (the small square from the book) to light up, but can't seem to progress any further...no way to "lock it in", and if I move, the symbol goes dark again. no other combinations make any of the symbols light up
There is also nothing to click once the symbol lights up. Would be difficult to do with the last sybol where you need 5 people, anyway.

I got stuck there too, nothing I tried worked.

(I’m just listening for when I reach this point.)

Wasn't that the one where you can't progress unless you kill all of the enemies first?

[Izuzul]

consider the button layout as
1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9

1st move. fill 5 6 8 9
2nd move. move the unused char to 2 and remove the char from 8
3rd move. move 2 to 4
4th move. move 9 to 8
5th move. move 5 to 2
6th move. place the unused char on 1.

(from memory but i think that is the solution)

[nikki]

Ahh, thank you so much.
It didn't give a hint anywhere that you only are allowed to add/remove a single one. I always moved the same 4 guys around and only added the 5th for the last symbol. That obviously did not work.
But when I did it exactly as you described, the second symbol lit up without the first going dark, same for the further ones.
Finally got the door open now.

Glad to help

I used this and it help[ed a lot, thanks. I am curious if there was something ingame to solve this puzzle?

[Izuzul]

yes the book item you get near the puzzle location tells the tale of the gods and how they moved. the puzzle solution is gained from that information, but it's a bit tedious to figure out.

It's a good idea to read any books you find in the game. While most of them are about lore and worldbuilding some actually have significant quest related information.

The reward for this quest is amazing. Too bad I am just finishing-up the side quests prior to the final crown quest.


The riddle is good, just read the book that you find on the wall and move 1 character for each new configuration. You will need a 5th character, which is why Anton joined you, to finish the configuration and puzzle.

Also, the "big bad" drops the one missing ingredient that I was really hoping for. Totally worth it.
