In Titan Quest 2, there is a hidden puzzle deep inside Fiend is Hollow that many players might miss. While working on the Cages in the Dark quest, you will come across a Mysterious Door that leads to a secret area. To open it, you will need to solve a brazier puzzle by lighting specific fire basins in the right order. Here’s how to solve the puzzle and get some rare loot.
How to solve the Braziers riddle and light them up
While you are exploring Fiend’s Hollow during the Cages in the Dark quest, you will come across a Mysterious Door. It is not actually part of that quest, but it is connected to another puzzle in the cave that involves lighting fire basins. Keep an eye out for those as you go.
To complete the Cages in the Dark quest in Titan Quest 2, here is what you need to do. First, light the brazier to the east of where you are standing. After that, go south and light the next two braziers. Once all three are lit, go back and interact with them again. This will activate the whole set properly and help you progress through the quest.
Remember, in the process of lighting the brazier, if you light the wrong fire basin, the flame will go out after a second. So, you will know that it is not the right one. However, you can light the last three braziers in front of the mysterious door in any order you like.
Behind the door, you will find a small hidden room where a vagrant named Mopsus is hiding out. If you try to convince him to leave, he will just tell you he is staying put. But the real reward for solving the brazier puzzle in Titan Quest 2 isn’t Mopsus, it is the two loot containers in the room. These chests can drop multiple blue rare weapons, armour pieces, or trinkets, so it is worth checking out.
