How to solve the Flooded Graveyard rune puzzle in Sea of Stars
You probably came across this puzzle just to the left of the Necromancer’s Lair as you explored the Flooded Graveyard. There is a chest locked behind bars, but there aren’t any other puzzle pieces you’re able to interact with to open them. All you have are three colored runes above them. Unfortunately, if this is your first time through the Flooded Graveyard, you probably don’t have the abilities you need to solve this, and you’ll need to progress further in the main story so you can earn your new form of travel.

Instead, use flight to drop down onto it and walk toward the cave entrance, where you’ll see the name “Romaya’s Secret Passage”
