More than just a wonder of architecture and history, the ancient Lighthouse of Miranthous puts your problem-solving skills to the test-through the ingenious puzzles of statuettes to magical portal activations, each step of this enigmatic journey brings you closer to rare rewards, powerful items, and deep lore. This guide will walk you on the labyrinthine course of solving puzzles, unlocking doors, and claiming your own rewards deep within the Lighthouse.
First Lighthouse Chest Location
To find the secret chests, you first need to solve the Lighthouse statue puzzle. Once you do, you’ll unlock the music room. This room has a portal that leads to hidden parts of the Lighthouse. One of the secret chests is also located here.
Here’s how to align each pair of statues:
First Pair: Stand in front of the handles at the statues’ bases on the exterior stairs platform and rotate them to face each other. If done correctly, green glowing wisps will appear and move toward the building.
Second Pair: Go to the statue at the southwestern staircase and turn it to face east, if it isn’t already. Next, go across the courtyard to the dining hall, head up the stairs to the hall’s southeast corner, and find a second statue. Rotate it to face west.
Third Pair: For the statue behind Neve’s room, face the entrance walkway and drop down onto a lower broken walkway leading to a basement level. There, you’ll find the statue; turn it to face west. The statue behind Bellara’s room is easier to find, just circle around the platform edge to the left of her room’s entrance and rotate it to face east.
After you switch a pair of statues, a magical spark will appear. Once you’ve switched all the pairs, go to the main hall. You’ll see a new door on the right side. Go through it to reach the music room.
