Somewhere in the mountains southwest of Stromkapp, Wartales players will be able to find an ancient ruin that's full of dark halls to explore and treasures to plunder. However, much of its musty halls are locked, keeping explorers away from the secrets they hide.
Exploring the Tiltren Tomb early in Wartales can be quite beneficial. Here, players can collect unique items and a bunch of valuables that they can sell for a quick buck. However, apart from the giant mole rats, zombie-like creepers, and the oppressive darkness, players will have to solve a few puzzles if they want to get all the riches they can get their hands on. Here's how to unlock the forbidden room of the Tiltren Tomb.
Tiltren Tomb Puzzle Solution
Before diving into the ruins, players will want to bring a handful of torches, which can be crafted by a Tinkerer at the camp workshop. Players will not be able to see anything if they don't have a torch equipped while inside any ruin, whether it be in exploration mode or during combat. Also, make sure to have a Scholar in the party or at least a party member who doesn't have a profession yet.
The Tiltren tomb puzzle involves finding three runes colored red, blue, and yellow that are inscribed on the walls and floors of the adjacent rooms. These runes are randomly generated, so players must find each of them on their own.
The red rune is located in the room next to the puzzle mechanism. Shine the torch over the pile of rubble below the mural to see it.
For the blue rune, go bottom-right, then top-right. If the path is blocked off by debris, have a miner clear the way. The rune is on the left wall near a standing skeleton and a mysterious statue.
For the yellow rune, go back to the previous room, then enter the one on the bottom left. The rune is inscribed on the floor. There's also a sliding puzzle here mounted on the wall that rewards extra Knowledge points if completed.
Take note of all the runes, then head back to the puzzle mechanism. Slot the correct ones into place according to their color, and the door should open up. This will lead to a short battle with an unspecified number of mole rats and creepers—nothing to worry about, though, since these enemies are fairly weak.
After reaching the burial chamber, bust open the tomb with a miner and grab the loot. It should have some gems and a Treasure of the Ancients, which can be restored by a Scholar at a camp Lectern.
