This guide provides a step-by-step walkthrough for solving “The Hermit Mystery” in Hell is Us. From locating the Hermit in the Acasa Marshes to solving the intricate face puzzle, this guide ensures you navigate the mystery with ease, uncovering key items like the Zoom Lens and cracking the final code.
The Hermit Location
In the northeast, south of the tunnel in the Acasa Marshes, lives a Hermit. He seems confused and has a pinboard of three photographs.
Zoom Lens
When you listen closely to what the Hermit says, you will know that he needs a Zoom Lens to take better photographs. You can find one at Talju.
Behind Talju Pharmacy, you’ll find a gate accompanied by a locked guardhouse. Head west along the road, and before long, you’ll notice a burnt-out shop on your left. In its window, you’ll discover the Zoom Lens.
Return Later
Return to the Hermit in the east of Acasa Marshes and trade the Zoom Lens with him. He is happy, but tells you to return later for more research. You will then find more photographs on the pinboard. The center photograph will show you four symbols.
Solving the Puzzle
Close by, you’ll find a face intricately carved into the mountain wall, accompanied by four rotating pillars adorned with symbols. Among these symbols, one stands out—it features a distinctive spike, just like the one in the hermit’s photo. This unique spike can also be spotted on the floor of this location. To proceed, enter the code displayed in the screenshot below. The symbols have to face inwards.
This will open a compartment in the center of the circle and conclude the mystery.
