How to Solve Block Puzzle

Shield Throw and Shield Charge to Use the Block

Step Objective

After defeating an enemy horde, drop down to an area where you must activate a platform and climb it with a metal block.

Shield throw to an energy node found on the left to raise the platform that leads to a short swimming area.
3
Climb the platform and swim through the right. Aim at the chain and use another shield throw for the metal block to fall down.
3
Drop down to the left of the metal block and shield throw the energy node again before shield charging the metal block to move it beside the platform that leads to a lift and objective marker.

Upon reaching the platform, you will eventually be lifted back to the area where you acquired the Dreadmace. Continue following the objective marker to progress through the chapter!
