Walkthrough
- 1Head northeast from Hernand City to Arboria Forest near Hook Rapids.
- 2Enter the ruin fountain area and identify the three pillar statues.
- 3Use Stab at each base socket to rotate the fountain pillar spouts.
- 4Set every pillar so water routes to side channels, not the center.
- 5Confirm side flow on all three pillars; center stream must stay dry.
- 6When the trigger fires, claim the Abyss Cresset from the lit plinth.
Tips
- If rain is active, the puzzle can auto-complete before you interact.
- Check the plinth first; a blue glow means rain already solved it.
- Stab inputs are precise: face the socket directly before activating.
- This puzzle mirrors Duskwood mechanics, so side-flow logic is key.
- If center water appears, rotate back until only side channels feed.
