Maze of Dawnreach Puzzle Solution

Use Force Palm to Find the Engraved Stones and Abyss Cresset

Step How to Solve
1
Find the Engraved Stones and the Abyss Cresset hidden by the leaning towers in Dawnreach.

First, climb to the top of the tallest tower at the center of the camp to get a clear view of the leaning tower locations.

Note: A Treasure Chest containing a cloak can be found at the top of this tower.
2
Reach the platform that the tower to the west is leaning against, and use Force Palm to straighten it.

This will reveal a hidden room containing the first Engraved Stone. Use Force Palm on the square button inside to retrieve it.
3
The next Engraved Stone is hidden in the tower that the northwest leaning tower rests against. Use Force Palm Level 3 to strike the leaning tower three times and straighten it.

This will reveal a hole in the wall where the second Engraved Stone can be found. Use Force Palm on the button inside to collect it.
4
To the east of the tallest tower lies the final leaning tower. Reach the platform it rests against and use Force Palm to straighten the tower, revealing the room that contains the Abyss Cresset.

Insert the two Engraved Stones to activate the Abyss Cresset and complete the maze.

There are three leaning towers in Dawnreach that you can strike with Force Palm to straighten them, revealing hidden rooms that each contain a puzzle piece for the maze. You will have to unlock Force Palm Level 3 in order to perform the three consecutive Force Palm strikes required for pushing one of the towers.
