How to Solve the Arboria Forest Ruins Puzzle
The centerpiece of the puzzle is a fountain with three pillars, each with two water spouts. Each pillar has two mysterious slots.
When you approach the puzzle, you may see a hologram showing you what to do:
-> Attack those slots with the “Stab” Skill.
-> Open your inventory and search for “Stab” in the blue tree.
-> R1+Triangle for me on PS5.
Attack those slots with Stab. Once you’re inside, you can turn the spout pillar. Turn it so that the two water spouts fill the center pool. Turn all three pillars so the pool is full. Then you will receive the Abyss Artifact. Pick it up to solve the puzzle.
