Stuck on the Watcher's Nest puzzle in Hell is Us? Follow this guide to find the Ceramic Flowers, place them correctly, and unlock Pentos' Tomb to progress the story.
Alright, let's tackle the Watcher's Nest puzzle. This one involves a bit of environmental clue-finding, but it's totally doable. The main goal here is to find these things called Ceramic Flowers and place them in the right spots to open up Pentos' Tomb.
- 1First things first, you need to get your hands on the Ceramic Flowers. The text mentions they're in the hidden tomb of Pentos Algae. So, make your way through the area until you find ladders leading down. Head down there, and you should be able to pick up the item from a sarcophagus.
- 2With the Ceramic Flowers in hand, it's time to place them. You'll need to put four of them in specific locations. Here's where they go:
- In the room with all the emotion symbols, place one in the slot for the 'Grief' symbol.
- 3Next, find the 'Vigil' logo. You'll see three order symbols; place a flower there.
- 4In the main research room, look for the order flag drapery. To its right, there's a wall slot – pop a flower in there.
- 5Finally, head to the left side of the room, behind a whiteboard. This is where the Algae last name slot is.
- 6Once all four Ceramic Flowers are in place, the mechanism will unlock. This allows you to pull a lever in Pentos' Tomb. Doing this opens the tomb, letting you grab the loot inside the sarcophagus. This loot should give you more clues to keep pushing forward in the act and the main story.
How we figured this out (for your reference):
In the main room, there's a PC terminal with research notes. It mentions needing to figure out a name, title, order, and year. You can find the main clues in the Tomb room itself. Reading the statues there tells you that Pentos was the 'Warden of Grief'. Another statue, at the back of the Tomb, gives you the year the order was founded. You can then use this info, along with the whiteboard in the research room, to solve the remaining wall puzzle pieces and match them to the correct year.
- Pay close attention to the environmental clues – the statues and the PC terminal are key.
- Don't rush placing the flowers; make sure you've identified the correct symbols and slots.
- The puzzle is designed to teach you how the main storyline puzzles work by finding clues in the environment.
- Unlocks Pentos' Tomb.
- Provides clues to progress the act and main storyline.
