Wisdom of the Ages Walkthrough
Solve Three Puzzles
| # | Step-by-step Walkthrough |
|---|---|
| 1 | Head to Fort Bulwark, be prepared to face a few conjurers before you enter. |
| 2 |  Once inside Fort Bulwark, take the left path. |
| 3 |  At the next intersection, turn left again to continue onward. |
| 4 |  Next, turn right and look for a wooden door straight ahead. |
| 5 |  Make your way to the wooden door across the room. Watch out, a few enemies await here, and there’s a risk of falling, so proceed with caution. |
| 6 |  Head straight and you'll see a room with another set of enemies, activate the Turn Handle below the light. |
| 7 |  On the right side of the room, you’ll see an opening. Head straight through it and activate the Turn Handle located on the balcony. |
| 8 |  Jump down from the balcony behind the Turn Handle. Be warned, you’ll take fall damage, so ensure you have enough health before proceeding. |
| 9 |  You’ll come across an opening; head straight, then turn right. |
| 10 |  Upon returning to the room you entered earlier, turn right. The gate should now be open, thanks to the Turn Handle you activated earlier. |
| 11 |  For the first puzzle, you must step on the correct tiles to open the gate. For the first set, step on the leftmost tile. In the second set, step on the middle tile. For the third set, step on the rightmost tile. Finally, for the last set, step on the leftmost tile once more. |
| 12 |  After passing through the wooden door, you’ll encounter another wooden door. Head left and ascend the stairs. |
| 13 |  Head left, where you'll find the stairs. Be prepared — you'll encounter a few enemies along the way. |
| 14 |  When you reach the wooden bridge, activate the Turn Handle. |
| 15 |  Move forward and activate the next Turn Handle. Be wary of the arrows falling from the ceiling — time your steps carefully to avoid taking damage. |
| 16 |  Next, you’ll encounter the second puzzle. Activate the Turn Handle on each statue, ensuring they face the center. Once the statues are looking at each other, the light will turn off, signaling that you’ve completed the puzzle. |
| 17 |  Next, you’ll face the third and final puzzle. First, loot the item from the chest at the top of the stairs. The items will spawn one by one and at random, so be prepared to search. Once you have the item, place it in one of the chests in front of the respective statues. Each statue requires a specific item to turn around, a key detail for solving the Wisdom of the Ages puzzle. |
| 18 |  While having the view on top of the stairs the order on your left would be Rodgar's Stone, Rodgar's Helm, Rodgar's Goblet, Rodgar's Sword. |
| 19 |  While having the view on top of the stairs the order on your right would be, Rodgar's Gem, Rodgar's Skull, Rodgar's Hammer, Rodgar's Book. |
| 20 |  Once you’ve placed Rodgar’s items in their correct chests, the door behind the main chest will open. Inside, you’ll find a pedestal with the Shield of the Crusader resting on top. |
