Guide to solving the Lake Cynon Blue Flower Reservoir Puzzle in Hell is Us. Learn the correct pillar order and how to activate the reservoir to progress.

Alright, let's get this reservoir puzzle sorted! It's one of those moments in Hell is Us where you really have to pay attention to the details. Don't worry, though, we'll walk through it step-by-step.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    First things first, you'll need to know the order to activate the pillars. The game gives you clues via a note from the Nest and statues scattered around the reservoir area. Look for statues with 5 dots on their side – these show the order.
  2. 2
    The pillars themselves correspond to symbols:
  3. 3
    Crown - Northwest
  4. 4
    Water - Southwest
  5. 5
    Key - Northeast
  6. 6
    Star - Southeast
  7. 7
    Cup - on the platform
  8. 8
    The Blue Flower Scroll is super helpful here too, as it gives you the symbol for the middle slot. Combine the info from the statues and the scroll to get the full sequence.
  9. 9
    Once you've got the order, head to the pillars and activate them. You'll know you're on the right track when they light up.
  10. 10
    After all five pillars are lit, a white circle will appear on the ground near the stairs leading down the hillside of the reservoir.
  11. 11
    Go to this circle and interact with it to get the Gear - Spindle.
  12. 12
    Now, make your way to the bottom of the reservoir steps. You'll find a spot where you can use the Spindle.
  13. 13
    Place the Spindle in its slot, and bam! The reservoir will activate, draining the water and revealing the entrance to the Lymbic Forge, which is your next major objective.
  14. 14
    Down in the drained reservoir, you'll find a few items to pick up, including one of the Lymbic chests.
Tips
  • Keep an eye out for those statues with the 5 dots; they're your primary clue for the pillar order.

  • Gear - Spindle
  • Items at the bottom of the reservoir
