Ascetic's Rest Puzzle Solution

Drain the Water to Find the Panel

Step How to Solve
1
Turn left from the flooded cave entrance and follow the staircase path going down the chamber.
2
You'll find a stone wall at the end of the chamber. Break the wall using a strong attack or a Force Skill until water starts spilling out.
3
Go back up the cave entrance and grab the power panel with Axiom Force in the sunken room revealed after draining the water.
4
Head to the other side of the cave and insert the panel in its slot on the wall. Nudge it in place by using Force Current, or by climbing the wall and using Force Palm.
5
Activate the circular generator with a Force skill and obtain the artifact to complete the puzzle.

Draining the water in Ascetic's Rest by breaking a wall in an underground chamber will reveal the panel that is needed to restore the abyss.
