Follow our comprehensive walkthrough for the Plague Trial in Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice, including puzzle solutions, lorestone locations, and tips for the Rune Door challenge.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Start by jumping off the ledge to the left of the Barnstokkr Tree.
  2. 2
    Follow the path, wading through water and a flooded house.
  3. 3
    Use the first stone archway by walking to its right and looking through it to make debris disappear.
  4. 4
    Continue to a broken bridge; this is a perspective puzzle.
  5. 5
    Pass a watchtower and use a second stone archway. Look through it from behind to find Lorestone ᚢ (1/2).
  6. 6
    Look through the second archway again to clear a doorway in a wooden fence.
  7. 7
    Go through the arch, then return to the second arch. Going through it again restores the wooden fence and a staircase to the watchtower.
  8. 8
    Climb the watchtower and look right from the bridge to line up the perspective puzzle for the main bridge leading to a house.
  9. 9
    Cross the repaired bridge and enter the house.
  10. 10
    Locate Lorestone ᛋ (2/2) on the side opposite the Rune Door. Do NOT activate the Rune Door yet, or you will miss this Lorestone.
  11. 11
    Activate the Rune Door when ready. You will be teleported to a maze with a fire monster.
  12. 12
    Navigate the maze, avoiding the fire monster. Look for holes in the wooden walls that match the required Rune shapes.
  13. 13
    Follow Dillion's light, reflected in puddles on the floor, to find the Runes.
  14. 14
    Collect all three Runes.
  15. 15
    Follow Dillion's light back to the Rune Door to escape the maze.
Tips
  • The Plague Trial is recommended to be done last due to its chronological and Lorestone order.
  • The Rune Door maze is timed; prioritize avoiding the fire monster.
  • The map's red line can guide you, but be prepared to adapt if the monster blocks paths.
  • Runes are found by looking for specific shaped holes in the walls.
  • Dillion's light, reflected in puddles, is your primary guide in the maze for both Runes and the exit.
  • Ensure you collect Lorestone ᛋ (2/2) before activating the Rune Door.
