If you want to solve the puzzle yourself, or at least learn how to do so, you’ll need to explore the area around the Secret Room and find the wall paintings to determine which symbols to activate and which to leave alone. Below is a detailed solution to the puzzle in the ruins of the Secret Room of Wisdom.
Location of the ruins of the Secret Chamber of Wisdom
The ruins of the Secret Chamber of Wisdom are located in the snowy mountains near one of the witch’s shrines . Players can head to the letter A in Pailune on the map to find a large question mark to the west of it, labeled “Mysterious Energy.”
As you approach the mountain, you’ll see a mural on the rocks and a hidden entrance beneath it. Jump into the gap and pass through a narrow tunnel to eventually come across a wall of nine buttons and a map with four marked locations.
Solving the puzzle in the ruins of the Secret Chamber of Wisdom
To solve the puzzle in the ruins of the Secret Chamber of Wisdom, you must press the correct buttons with the appropriate images. The order in which you activate these buttons doesn’t matter, and you can guess the solution without searching the wall paintings around the Secret Chamber, as they all represent one of the natural elements:
- Water
- Fire
- Wind
- Lightning
The buttons can be pressed in a variety of ways, but since you’ll be far away from them and there’s a deadly spike trap in the middle, use Axiom Powers on the desired button and then use the Palmara Strike: Transference ability, which you’ll need to unlock in advance in the green skill tree.
Once all the correct buttons have been pressed, the wall behind them will move aside, and you will be able to collect the Abyssal Artifact.
How to safely cross to the other side of the Abyss Stone
Use the lantern to shine the light on the rope in the middle. Choose a precise jump to maintain your balance on the rope and reach the other side, avoiding the swinging braziers.
When you pass the first brazier, be careful, as the second one will fall, swinging back and forth like a pendulum. Wait a bit, then continue forward to reach the newly opened room. Take the Abyssal Artifact from the Stone to complete the puzzle. You will also gain knowledge about the Northern Winds. Use the item in your inventory to reveal some caves hidden behind the waterfalls on your map.
How to come to a decision consistently
Inside the Secret Chamber of Wisdom, there’s a wall with four markings. By locating them on the map, you can discover the rock carvings depicting the very same elements—wind, water, fire, and lightning.
Drawings of the elements are found in the vicinity of the Secret Chamber of Wisdom. Look for a flat surface—a rock or a wall—as this is where they are most often depicted.
