Once again a large chest beckonswith the promise of cool loot - and this time there's even a unique item! In order to get to the treasure chest on the small island in the forest swamp of the Arlathan Forest, you first have to solve a puzzle. If you're stuck or just don't feel like wandering around in the forest, we'll explain the solution step by step.
We have included a video above where you can see all the steps in action again. By the way: You already walk around in this area with Davrin and Assan in the first companion quest “How to Train a Griffon”.
Your journey starts here.
This is how you solve the puzzle in the forest swamp
Step 1
When you enter the forest swamp, you will be directly opposite the chest. Now turn right and follow the path first. You walk over a birch trunk, wind around curves, climb up a ledge, pass a waterfall, run through an archway down the stairs and then end up at a small piece of ruins. This is your first stop.
Here you will find an already active energy emitter (also known within the editorial team as a laser pewpew thingy). Stand at the device and point the laser at the crystal attached to the wall. This activates the spotlight on the ledge above - your next stop.
First you have to get to this point on the map.
Step 2
Now run back a little bit, up the stairs again and through the archway. Then turn right into the bushes. Behind it is the second energy radiator. Direct the beam a little to the left onto the crystal on the first pillar that stands on the island with the chest.
You can find station 2 here, a little bit below the first energy radiator.
Step 3
Now run back through the archway and down the stairs and this time past the ruins from step 1. Be careful of stones raining down from the sky here. Should you now run straight towards a lead? climbs up it. There are a few boxes there with a crystal hidden behind them.
Collect it and carry it to the energy radiator that is right next to it. Activate it and direct the beam to the right onto the crystal on the second pillar of the island.
Your third stop is here on the map.
Step 4
Now turn around again, run past the statue to the back to the wall and climb up the ledge there. Balance over the tree trunk and then jump directly over the next trunk. You should now be standing in front of a barred gate. On the wall to the right you will find a switch that you can press to lower the grate.
Keep running until you reach the barrier. Remove the crystal from the base here, go through the now deactivated barrier and put the crystal back on the energy radiator behind it. Now direct the last laser to the right onto the crystal on the third pillar.
You can find the last energy radiator here.
If you now return to the beginning, you will see that a path across the lake to the chest has been revealed. Caution: There is an enemy with level 26 waiting in front of the chest. But it can also be done with a little patience if you are actually significantly underleveled. A unique item awaits you in the treasure chest - for example, we got a light helmet with a special ability.
