How to find the Tiltren Tomb Puzzle in Wartales
If you’re looking to go to Tiltren Tomb for the first time, you’ll find it southwest of Stromkapp. Follow the road that leads southwest from the town and then take the first left turn heading south. Go past Old Wilburt’s Fishery and the Pedra Mountain mine, then come off the road southwest and into the woods there. Tiltren Tomb is on the south side of those woods.
What you will need to solve the Tiltren Tomb puzzle
There’s an NPC named Serlham outside the entrance. He cansell you torchesyou’ll need inside if you can’t make them for yourself.We suggest taking six torches; you’ll need at least three torches to complete the movement parts of the Tiltren Tomb puzzle, plus a few extra ones to equip on Rangers (in their spare hand) to make battles inside much easier.
Your Fatigue bar has aLight Meterunderneath it while inside the tomb. If it runs out, you’ll flee back outside. However, you can camp inside the tomb, so if you have the correct materials, you cancraft more torches as you need them.
You’ll have opportunities to take theScholarandBardprofessions during the run-through, but these are only required for optional content, so it depends on yourparty size. You will need aMinerin the final room, and they’ll also come in handy at another point during the dungeon, but that is the only must-have (you can switch to the Miner profession with any of your companions when the time comes if you don’t have one). Finally, before you enter,equip torches to companionswho have a free hand (usually Rangers). One per three or four companions should work fine.
How to find the first puzzle symbol in Tiltren Tomb
Move forward from the first room (there is only one exit, right) into a room with three exits: left, right, and forward. There’s a chest in the center of the room, but you won’t be able to open it until you’re on your way back out later.
Explore the room to your right and shine the lightin the top left of the roomto seea Blue Symbol. This is the first of three symbols you’ll need to find to complete the Tiltren Tomb puzzle. Note it down, as this will be a different symbol each time you go to the Tomb on a given playthrough.

Optional content: The Bard challenge
There is also a statue in the room. If you inspect it, you’ll open up theBard profession. If you assign one of your companions to be a Bard, it will begin a Rock Star-style mini-game. This can give some nice rewards depending well you do, but it isnot necessaryfor completing the puzzle, and you may come back later and complete it anytime.
How to find the second puzzle symbol in Tiltren Tomb
Move back to the central room, then goleftbyadvancing cautiously(if you run, you’ll need to deal with an animal injury). Shine your light in the central foreground of the room to find aYellow Symbolpainted on the ground. Once again, make a note of it for later.
Optional content: The sliding puzzle challenge
You’ll find a puzzle on the wall. When you inspect it, you’ll need your Scholar tocomplete the sliding puzzle. Move the tiles to complete the Mountain pattern. The setup will be different for each player, so we can’t give you a solution. If you are struggling, you’re able to come away from the puzzle to find an NPC that is ready to solve it for you, for a price. Once complete, you’ll be told you have discovered theMountain Rune(this is for research; it’s not a physical item).
How to find the third puzzle symbol in Tiltren Tomb
Move back to the central room, then head forward down the final path. You’ll have abattle with Creepers and Mole-ratslargely in the dark, which is where theequipped torchescome in handy (you can equip them once the battle starts too, but only in turn order).

If you don’t equip torches, your enemies will have theBrutality buff(+30 percent damage dealt) but while lit up, they’ll instead have theFragility debuff(+30 percent damage taken) making things much easier. At the end of the battle, shine your light around the room to reveal a Red symbol on a rock, which you once more need to note down.
Optional content: Examining the Mural
There is a large mural on the wall. If you inspect it then shine your light in the top right corner, there is a rune jutting out. Hover your mouse over it and a green circle will appear. When the circle is complete, you’ll have researched theRune of Performance.
How to complete the locked door puzzle
Leave the mural room bybreaking throughthe tunnel to your right if you have aMiner, who will get some XP. If you sneak through instead, you’ll receive injuries but no light loss (but you’ll need a Miner later anyway). In the next room, there is a lock mechanism to the right of a huge door. You’ll need yourScholarto solve the door puzzle. Input the colored symbols you’ve noted down into the lock mechanism to advance.
Optional content: The chest key and more
Search the corpse in the middle of the room to find a fewTorchesand aCrude Key(which opens the chest in the very first room on your way out). If you’ve made it this far, you’ll now be fine for light for the rest of the tomb. There’s anUrnon the right of the room with a few more items, plus aLocked Chestwhich you can lockpick.
The final room of the tomb
When you leave through the door you opened, you’ll faceanother Creeper battlevery similar to the first. Once victorious, you’ll be in a room containing an ornate tomb. AMineris required to open it up, after which you can loot the coffin tocomplete Tiltren Tomb. Make your way back through the rooms and you’re done.
You canre-enter the tomb at any timeto complete anything you didn’t the first time. Movement will cost you one light per room visited and there will be no battles, however.
