How to Solve the Three Pillar Puzzle In Amnesia: Rebirth

Amnesia: Rebirth is a major change to the series in terms of story and challenge. The game takes players on a uniquely gripping and depressing story through its clever world-building and design. The obstacles that players need to tackle are rarely as simple as they were in the original title and often require real-world problem-solving skills. Players will be required to explore the world, often in the dark, and find important items that may allow them to progress.

Of all the many puzzles within the game, there is a particular puzzle in Amnesia: Rebirth that has been stumping players since launch. Near the middle of the game’s story, there is a room known as The Chamber of Pillars. The Chamber of Pillars level is one that involves solving a puzzle by rotating a set of pillars into the proper order and location. Solving this puzzle can be tricky without a good strategy. Here’s the solution to the Chamber of Pillars in Amnesia: Rebirth.

How To Solve The Pillar of Chamber Puzzle In Amnesia: Rebirth

After players have placed the orb in its proper location, they will continue up the scaffolding and reach the puzzle room. The puzzle begins with the player enters a room with three large pillars at the end of the room. There will be a panel directly in front, a crank to the left, a crank in the center, and a crank to the right. The panel in the front will have a smaller puzzle embedded inside of it. The cranks for the center and right pillars will be functional, but the one on the left-hand side will not turn.

To solve the puzzle, players will need to examine the symbols drawn on the pillars and match them to the symbols on the smaller puzzle. The smaller puzzle contains a total of 25 slots and players will need to match three symbols in order. To solve the puzzle, start by positioning the pillars so their grooves form an enclosed path. From there, return to the console and rotate it until the symbols lineup in the order of U, M, M. Players will then need to move the tabs so that the symbols are each highlighted. After that, they will need to simply press the button on the console to end the puzzle. If the player has done this correctly, a light will shine down from the top of the room.
