How to complete the Runes Arrows puzzle in Totenreich
-
There are three arrows in the sky and each of them points to a unique symbol.
- The arrows are in a certain order from one to three, and you can tell the order by counting the lines through the arrows.
-
For example, the image above shows a green arrow with a single line, which means the green arrow is pointing to your first symbol.
-
The second arrow is blue and has two lines, meaning the blue arrow points to your second symbol and so on.
Once you've memorized your three symbols and what order you need to activate them, you need to run around the map to find the floating fires. They exist several fires around the map with symbols above them. you have to find your symbol and light the fire with a charged shot from the Jotunn Star.
For example, our symbol order was V, then R, then P. So we ran around the map looking for our first symbol, then lit it up with the Jotunn star and repeated with the second and third. After you get it right, all the arrows will point in one singular direction.
With the arrow rune puzzle solved, you are at the final step of the Totenreich easter egg. All that's left is to head to Tyr's Head and start the boss fight. Click here for a boss fight guide and the best weapons to use against him.
