The prism puzzle
A Dwarven device fills a chamber deep within the ruins of Bthanual. Kireth has repaired it. Beams of light now shine through prisms set around the room.


Quick Walkthrough[edit]

  1. Talk to Kireth Vanos.
  2. Align the prisms.
  3. Enter the inner chamber.
  4. Recover the key and the relic.
  5. Return to Kireth.

Detailed Walkthrough[edit]

After completing the previous quest, continue to talk with Kireth Vanos to help her with the next problem: sorting out some prisms. You'll need to align the Dwarven prisms such that the source light follows a path through the prisms to reach the great door on the south end of the chamber. The pattern will make a blocky "S" shape, from top right to the bottom. Each adjustment you make will turn a prism clockwise 90 degrees. The emitted light is not powerful enough to hurt you.

  • From the northeast corner of the chamber, move to the center north, rotate the prism once.
  • Head to the northwest corner, rotate the prism twice.
  • Head to the center west, rotate the prism twice.
  • Head across the room to the center east, rotate the prism once.
  • Head to the southeast corner, rotate the prism twice.

This will unlock the great door on the south side of the chamber. Head inside, use the rod on the large Dwarven spider there, loot the key from it, then loot an artifact from the Dwarven chest behind it. Return to Kireth to obtain your reward.

Notes[edit]

Once you've exited the Inner Chamber after looting the spider and the chest, you won't be able to return to it.

Bugs[edit]

  • Sometimes the large spider will not spawn inside the Inner Chamber. ?
    • Simply exit the room and come back in.

Notes
* Any text displayed in angle brackets (e.g., <Alias=LocationHold>) is dynamically set by the game and will be filled in with the appropriate word(s) when seen in game.
  • Not all Journal Entries may appear in your journal; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the quest is done.
  • Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with quests that have multiple possible outcomes or quests where certain tasks may be done in any order. Some stages may therefore repeat objectives seen in other stages.
