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.

It all began in the ’80s when I was just 7 years old. Starting with basic arcade games, I soon delved into titles like Loom and Monkey Island by Lucasarts. Throughout the years, as I indulged in more and more games, I consistently sought clear guides to swiftly navigate my gameplay. Now, it’s my turn to contribute back to the community.
