Neverwinter Nights: Hordes of the Underdark Hints
How do I work the obelisk's rune puzzle?
1 of 8: Walk up close to the obelisk and zoom the view in until you can clearly see the four columns of rune plates that branch out from the base of the obelisk.
2 of 8: Three of the four plates in a column are individually clickable, so try them all out.
3 of 8: When you click on a plate, it changes the rune that's shown on it.
4 of 8: You're apparently supposed to set each column of plates to a certain pattern.
5 of 8: There's no particular pattern shown anywhere that you can duplicate, so you probably need all four runes in a column to be the same. But which rune do you set them all to?
6 of 8: Since the one nearest the obelisk in each column can't be changed, you clearly need to set the other three to match it. Only then could all four be the same.
7 of 8: Once all the plates in a column have been set correctly, they'll flash briefly. When that happens, move on to another column.
8 of 8: Keep going until all four columns are done.
