Changes: Runestone puzzle

Latest revision as of 18:06, 11 January 2018

The runestone puzzle is an unmarked side quest in Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening.

Background[]

If the Warden-Commander travels south of the prison with Steafan in the trade quarter of Kal'Hirol, you will find the puzzle. There are five runestone pillars and five runestone markers.

Walkthrough[]

In order to loot the sarcophagus in the middle of the room, you must solve the puzzle by matching the rune on the runestone to that of the pillar.

Runestone puzzle - Map — The red X marker shows the exact location of the Runestone puzzle

To do this:

Go to a Runestone where the rune does not match the rune on its Pillar.
Note the shape and colour of the rune on the Runestone (not the Pillar) prior to selecting it.
Select the Runestone (the Runestone should flame).
Find the Pillar which matches the rune from the Runestone noted previously.
Note the rune on the Runestone before selecting it.
Select the Runestone in front of this pillar. The rune on the Runestone should change to match the rune on the Pillar (if the stone flames then you've done something wrong).

Repeat steps #4-6 for each of the Pillars. When all five match, the runes will vanish and the sarcophagus will open. The order in which this is done is irrelevant.

Rewards[]

750 XP for solving the puzzle
The sarcophagus in the middle of the room will be exposed. It contains:

Gauntlets of Hirol's Defense

Nature's Blessing

Flawless Emerald

Money 8 18 0

-South of the prison where you meet [[Steafan]] (in [[Kal'Hirol - Trade Quarter]],) you can travel south down the path to where the runestone puzzle is. There are four runestone pillars and four runestone markers.
-==Walkthrough==
-<!---descr="How do you do it."--->
-In order to loot the sarcophagus in the middle of the room, you must solve the puzzle by clicking on one of the pillars (with one colored runestone) and matching it with it's mate of the same color and shape, so each pillar and runestone in front of it is the same. When all four are the same, the middle sarcophagus will be lootable.

+To do this:
-The order in which you do the clicking doesn't matter as much, as long as you match the runestones up. The above solution is simply a straightforward way of solving the puzzle.
+# Go to a Runestone where the rune does not match the rune on its Pillar.
+# Note the shape and colour of the rune on the Runestone (not the Pillar) prior to selecting it.
+# Select the Runestone (the Runestone should ''flame'').
+# Find the Pillar which matches the rune from the Runestone noted previously.
+# Note the rune on the Runestone before selecting it.
+# Select the Runestone in front of this pillar. The rune on the Runestone should change to match the rune on the Pillar (if the stone ''flames'' then you've done something wrong).
+Repeat steps #4-6 for each of the Pillars. When all five match, the runes will vanish and the sarcophagus will open. The order in which this is done is irrelevant.
