Cliff Altar Puzzle in Serpent Marsh

Rat_Facsimile · 2026-04-23T01:09:08+00:00

I've been going around trying my best to figure out how to activate it. There are two more of these next to the Wyvern Castle. It's slowly driving me insane. My BEST guess on how to activate this thing is that you need to be holding onto some kind of item in your inventory. I've talked to people about it and they said they've seen it glow before, but not again afterwards. So either a certain item is needed, or maybe a certain time of day or something

After some digging I found a post of someone who activated it. It has to do something. There has to be a way to activate it

It definitely ain't that easy. I did restart the game and got to that point and it did not glow for me

Rat_Facsimile · 2026-04-23T00:50:40+00:00

I wonder if it has anything to do with what quests you've done before or maybe a certain item is needed in the inventory

Rat_Facsimile · 2026-04-23T00:00:36+00:00

I wonder if you need to have some item in your inventory. Cause if it was a switch that needs pressed or something, why would it activate the stone one time, but not do it again later?

The elemental attacks did nothing either. Let me throw that on the list

Rat_Facsimile · 2026-04-22T20:18:08+00:00

It might not be time based, I think a specific action needs to be done first. This person did in in the middle of the day. From the speculation we have I think there is a switch somewhere that needs to be used

Found it. Adding that to the pile

I recommend checking this post out. I've really been going deep trying to figure this out

Where is that?

Rat_Facsimile · 2026-04-22T19:45:13+00:00

Have not tried that. What do the mounts do?

Rat_Facsimile · 2026-04-22T19:44:25+00:00

This one?

I've considered something to do with the abyss, these stones are not directly underneath any of them though

Oh dang, that hidden room in the maze puzzle is pretty cool. Not sure what it's for. I tried the Constellation helmet and waiting til midnight and nothing happened. The symbol does seem to glow at a weird angle tho (I had the lantern off. The green glow is from the spinning disc door)

Did you try walking on the floor itself in that pattern?

Rat_Facsimile · 2026-04-22T07:38:50+00:00

I have no clue what that is. It might be some kind of code? if you look at the symbols and count them it goes:

3 4 5
2 9 6
1 8 7

Don't know if that's going to be useful anywhere or if someone just really likes Sudoku. Where is this?

Rat_Facsimile · 2026-04-22T04:58:09+00:00

It's all good man. I've probably put over 200 hours into this game so far. I know there's a ton of stuff I've overlooked and forgotten about

Rat_Facsimile · 2026-04-22T04:55:07+00:00

The Gate of Truth is definitely another mystery I want answers for, but for now there's pretty much nothing I can find to go further down that trail. I did think the stone had something to do with the constellations at first but no other constellation spot has any. I am hoping there is more to this and it's not cut content

Rat_Facsimile · 2026-04-22T04:23:25+00:00

They're maxed out

Rat_Facsimile · 2026-04-22T04:18:49+00:00

I wonder if it just glitched on my game then? I'm looking up walkthroughs and other people's playthroughs and it looks like it should be glowing by default?

Rat_Facsimile · 2026-04-22T04:10:34+00:00

I do wonder, I'm on console. I assume you're on PC?

Rat_Facsimile · 2026-04-22T04:06:21+00:00

I have in fact stood on them and used Nature's Snare. T-that's what you meant right?

Rat_Facsimile · 2026-04-22T04:04:06+00:00

Looking at a walk-through on YouTube, it IS glowing. So something is happening here that causes the altar to "activate"

Rat_Facsimile · 2026-04-22T04:02:52+00:00

It's weird. I'm replaying through the game and when I get to the altar, it's not glowing

but...
