How the Symbols Work for Activating the Secret Puzzle in Vow of the Disciple

The symbols can be used to activate a secret puzzle that rewards players with a chest and a weapon with Deepsight Resonance. These are called red weapons, which give the ability to see invisible platforms, similar to Savathûn’s Throne World. You should keep in mind that this area is farmable if you need the weapons.

To solve the puzzle, players need to find a totem that has three of the symbols on it. The symbols are randomized, so be prepared to call them out once you find them. Next, locate each room with the corresponding symbol, then shoot them to switch them on. Afterward, just kill the final boss to get the rewards.

Here’s how to find each room:

• Pyramid – Jump into the hole from the totem, then turn around and shoot the shard.
• Give – In the hallway with the floating square frames, turn left and find the shard on the wall. Follow this shard to reach the room.
• Darkness – At the first encounter, shoot the shard in-between the Sphinx’s paws.
• Traveller – After the first encounter, enter the collection room, then jump on the nearby statues to reach the upper ledge on the far end of the room. The shard is behind one of the statues.
• Worship – After completing the second encounter, the shard will appear on the left side of the room, it will open another room on the opposite side.
• Light – After the second encounter, proceed to the jumping puzzle room, then locate the illuminated statue on the left side of the room. Shoot the shard above it.
• Stop – At the end of the jumping puzzle room, enter a small crack to reach the next room, the shard is directly across the entrance.
• Guardian – After the third encounter, head left towards the staircases. At the top of the second staircase, jump across to the left platform behind the giant pillars. Then, look behind the pillar to find the shard. To get to it, go back down the second set of stairs and jump on the giant pillars until you reach it.
• Kill – In the room before the final boss encounter, head to the platforms at the very top. Opposite the boss area is the shard sitting high up on the wall.
