To solve the puzzle, you’ll need to look around the Monastery to find ceremonial weapons. Each of the weapons have a specific pedestal to be placed upon, which you have to figure out from the stained glass window at the center of the room. However, in case you don’t have the patience to be vested in the puzzle for too long, we got you covered.

  • The northwest pedestal will need a ceremonial warhammer. Search for it on the roof of Rosymorn Monastery inside the nest of the giant eagle. Climb the knotted roots outside of the room with the Guardian of the Faith to reach the nest. You might need to fall the eagles because they’re kind of hard to convince.
  • The southeast pedestal can have any weapon on it.
  • The pedestal on the southwest of the room needs a battle-axe, which you can find in another room with a Guardian of the Faith inside it. Exact location X-105, Y-45. S keep your guards up, as the Guardian of the Faith will fight you as soon as you get your hands on the battle axe. But the action will be short-lived.
  • The northwest pedestal should have a longsword placed on it already.
