A comprehensive guide to solving the energy beam puzzles in Latotian's Passage in Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader, including statue order and rewards.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    From your landing point, head north, then west. Use a Melta Charge with a successful Demolition check to clear a rock blocking the path.
  2. 2
    Proceed through the archway to find five xeno statues. The largest is the easternmost. Interact with the largest statue and pass a Lore (Warp) check to activate an energy beam.
  3. 3
    A defunct pattern on the floor west of the main statue shows the intended route. Search rubble east of the main statue and pass an Awareness check to find a second, correct pattern depicting a star shape.
  4. 4
    Number the statues for clarity: #1 is the main (easternmost) statue, #2 is the southernmost, #3 and #4 are the western statues (south and north respectively), and #5 is the northernmost.
  5. 5
    Interact with the statues to redirect the beam. Each interaction may send the light to a different statue. If the beam goes to an invalid location, the puzzle resets harmlessly.
  6. 6
    First Puzzle Solution:
    • Click statue 1 twice (beam to statue 3).
  7. 7
    Click statue 3 twice (beam to statue 5).
  8. 8
    Click statue 5 twice (beam to statue 2).
  9. 9
    Click statue 2 twice (beam to statue 4).
  10. 10
    Click statue 4 twice (beam to statue 1).
  11. 11
    Once the beam enters the mouth on the west wall, loot the chest within to obtain an Ancient Force Sword.
  12. 12
    Backtrack east past the initial obstruction. Quicksave your game.
  13. 13
    Head upstairs to the north, through another archway, and into the ruins on the right. Pass an Awareness check to find a container with a Cracked Xenochest.
  14. 14
    Return to the puzzle area and place the Cracked Xenochest in the "Empty Jaws" where you found the Ancient Force Sword. This reactivates the light puzzle.
  15. 15
    Second Puzzle Solution:
    • Click statue 1 three times (beam to statue 4).
  16. 16
    Click statue 4 once (beam to statue 5).
  17. 17
    Click statue 5 twice (beam to statue 2).
  18. 18
    Click statue 2 once (beam to statue 3).
  19. 19
    Click statue 3 three times (beam to statue 1).
  20. 20
    When the beam returns to the "Empty Jaws", loot them to find the Foulsight Veil helmet and the Chains of Domination.
  21. 21
    After looting, demons (a Screamer of Tzeentch and two Pink Horrors) will spawn between the large statue and the earlier obstruction. Defeat them.
Tips
  • The first floor pattern is a red herring; use the pattern found in the rubble.
  • The second puzzle's activation is RNG-dependent; quicksave before attempting to find the Cracked Xenochest.
  • Be prepared for combat after solving the second puzzle.
  • First Puzzle: Ancient Force Sword
  • Second Puzzle: Foulsight Veil, Chains of Domination
