The Screaming Vault is west of Demeniss City; it is the ruins of an old building surrounded by agricultural fields. There is a square hole you can drop down to get to the puzzle.

Dodge the room with the traps and go to the back. The Ancient Artifact rewards pillar is in the center, surrounded by three rooms, each with a round, turnable symbol. Look for a map with three “X” marks on it. These are the locations where you will find the symbols’ correct alignment.

Here are the three symbol locations and what they have to look like in the Screaming Vault. All three symbols are painted onto scarecrows and on the floor below them.

Now you can return and solve the puzzle. The round symbols have to be turned to a precise spot. Here’s what they look like in the solved positions:

Rewards:
Abyss Artifact
Memory of Turbulence
