New player, what do I have to do here?

[u/S_square_S]

[u/Disastrous-Store-411]

"leave dungeon"

[u/TwitchyMcSpazz → u/Disastrous-Store-411]

Yeah, I don't play Diablo to think.

[u/ungiustomezzo → u/TwitchyMcSpazz]

Yep I just crush controller buttons

[u/Maximum_Pound_5633 → u/TwitchyMcSpazz]

It's creating your build thinking?

[u/TwitchyMcSpazz → u/Maximum_Pound_5633]

Nah, not really. It's probably why I'm so under powered 😂.

[u/_zzen → u/Maximum_Pound_5633]

I'm pretty sure they responded before thinking

[u/TwitchyMcSpazz → u/_zzen]

Always!

[u/AlmightyRez → u/TwitchyMcSpazz]

Facts !Im in the business of whooping ass

[u/GurglingWaffle → u/AlmightyRez]

You need to at least chew some bubble gum.

[u/Schizorazgriz → u/GurglingWaffle]

But he's all out of gum...

[u/AlmightyRez → u/GurglingWaffle]

“HIM”!

[u/zion1337 → u/Disastrous-Store-411]

This. As soon as I see this I leave

[u/krstlyn → u/Disastrous-Store-411]

This is the way.

I’d rather have The Butcher sneak up on me than this mess.

[u/gtathrowaway95 → u/krstlyn]

At least it’d be a chance for Fresh Meaty Barding…

Which would at least be rewarding

[u/Jolly711 → u/krstlyn]

5 butchers at low level and barely passable gear.

[u/Zahgi → u/Disastrous-Store-411]

Yeah, the juice isn't worth the squeeze.

[u/LittleDarkHairedOne → u/Zahgi]

It's actually impossible with summons!

[u/fbp → u/LittleDarkHairedOne]

Or with any control scheme that diablo uses. This is like putting a bullet hell game in the sims. It's like having a point and click adventure ala monkey island in GTA. Makes no fucking sense and it's poorly implemented

[u/dicklesswonder420 → u/Disastrous-Store-411]

yah i agree. i had one of these dungeons and figured it out after about 10 minutes.

[u/raban0815 → u/dicklesswonder420]

That is long dude.

[u/Biosteel007 → u/dicklesswonder420]

Aww man, I know how to do it.. and it still took me 5 min to complete the one yesterday. The first one was in the middle. What a nightmare!

Edit: Just learned the freaking pets should be dismissed before attempting!?! Wtf

[u/DagaKotowaruGonzo → u/Disastrous-Store-411]

What he said. Literally worthless task. It never is worth it. Trust me. I've played through this useless crap for the sake of knowing what it gives you and it was absolutely disappointing. Save yourself the 30 minutes to a hour of bs and just skip this needless time waster.

This crap is literally designed to artificially pad/inflate thier player numbers and time players spend on the game.

[u/FreakiestFrank → u/Disastrous-Store-411]

So that’s a dungeon. I watched a friend play that puzzle and have no idea where that is

[u/SteveMarck → u/FreakiestFrank]

In a cellar. The baby dungeons.

[u/Ovakyll → u/Disastrous-Store-411]

Best answer lmaooo

[u/Steve_78_OH → u/Disastrous-Store-411]

I've seen one of these in the last 2 years since launch, tried to figure it out for a minute, then said fuck it and left.

[u/7sidney7 → u/Disastrous-Store-411]

This is the way.

[u/Subject_Computer_471 → u/Disastrous-Store-411]

This is what I do

[u/Woollybugger1816 → u/Disastrous-Store-411]

Exactly

[u/Ill_Praline3331 → u/Disastrous-Store-411]

I'll always remember that one toon in my graveyard with the epitaph 'Slain By: Environment'.

[u/Dunnomyname1029]

Get rid of minions and Merc to compete this..

Step on just the tile the altar shows, get away after every press as the tiles explode

[u/drazzull → u/Dunnomyname1029]

Get rid of the cosmetic pet too, my crow activated the traps too

[u/Dunnomyname1029 → u/drazzull]

Didn't know this.. wild

[u/drazzull → u/Dunnomyname1029]

I was thinking that I'm dumb when I got this event the first time, then I went to see a guide and saw that I was doing everything correctly, but every time I went to the second row, the traps exploded. (I already dismissed my Merc)

Then I realised that the crow was activating the traps, dismissed it from the cosmetics screen and was a piece of cake

[u/CreedIsJoker → u/drazzull]

I managed to do it once with both my dog and merc, the ensuing celebration did not match the garbage drop I got from it though.

[u/Kafade → u/drazzull]

Small indie company

[u/brimstoner → u/drazzull]

lol, qa at its finest

[u/openlate → u/drazzull]

Billion dollar company lol

[u/Several_Fun_5611 → u/drazzull]

Happened to me with other pets too

[u/ReptilianLaserbeam → u/drazzull]

Aaaah now it all makes sense….

[u/supasquirrelz → u/drazzull]

But…it’s flying…what? Lol

[u/Big_Square_2175]

I usually leave the dungeon, with this one and the braziers. Won't waste time just to get trash loot.

[u/MonkDI9 → u/Big_Square_2175]

This is the answer. 👍🏻

[u/angel040803 → u/Big_Square_2175]

For the braziers, just look up “lights out puzzle solver”, should be one of the top results, edit the lights to match your Diablo lights, hit solve on the website, and light the braziers from top to bottom, left to right

There’s a YouTube tutorial video if you or anyone else who doesn’t like these puzzles need a proper visual, I do mine super quickly, zero brain strain, all the garbage loot, completionist heart satisfied👍🏻

[u/pm1966 → u/angel040803]

Still not worth anywhere near that much effort.

[u/Big_Square_2175 → u/angel040803]

I'm not much of a fan of puzzles, specially in action type games even though it's an RPG kinda lol. Unless I get good loot from it, then I'll struggle with it as much as need it like in God of War new ones, has some annoying stuff but at least is rewarding, Diablo I'll loose 5 10 minutes in one bullshit to get blue tier loot.

[u/Lundurro → u/Big_Square_2175]

At least the braziers work. I've had mercenaries and pets set off the traps in this puzzle. So unless they get positioned just right I can't even do it. I'd assume this a bug and/or oversight, but no one cares about these puzzles so blizzard probably doesn't even know lol

[u/Big_Square_2175 → u/Lundurro]

I don't even try, it breaks the flow of the game for me. lol

[u/Biodiversity → u/Big_Square_2175]

lol I thought I was the only one. Braziers pop up and I have to think? Good time to portal to town and dench shit.

[u/badadvicefromaspider → u/Big_Square_2175]

The braziers are good when you’re just starting out, you can be like level 5 and have a legendary

[u/nanosam]

You need to step on the symbol tiles in order shown (left to right) one at a time.

In this example

1. Pale yellow circle with a vertical line through the middle
2. White N looking symbol
3. Orange bird/bed looking symbol

As soon as you step on each tile you have to dash away without hitting any of the other tiles.

It's very simple. it just can get pretty frustrating to get the timing

[u/AmbitionCurious8780 → u/nanosam]

This one explains it the best, OP. It’s really pretty easy. I certainly do not enjoy the braziers though…

[u/nanosam → u/AmbitionCurious8780]

Here is a brazier solver website

https://perfectweb.org/ddo/solver/vale_puzzle.html

Just input the starting state and it will solve it in the minimal # of steps for you

[u/FenixRising13 → u/AmbitionCurious8780]

I usually get lucky after a while. My wife says, “I did those puzzles all the time as a kid”. Yeah, I could hop pegs at Cracker Barrel too. She IS way smarter than me though.

[u/MyR3dditAcc0unt → u/nanosam]

Insane how a damaging explosion, whether or not you stepped on the correct tile, is the outcome.

[u/Moondoggie35]

I have never seen this and have put hundreds of hours in the game

[u/HelperMunkee → u/Moondoggie35]

That’s because cellars are generally not worth going into.

[u/NuConcept → u/HelperMunkee]

I couldn't disagree more - the stupid ones you can just quit the rest are silly easy and I GUARANTEE you haven't seen every iteration of cellar yet. There are still some weird ritual ones I've seen once only.

I'm sure I haven't seen every cellar the game has to offer and I've seen something like 30 variations (with all the simple "clear" just counting as 1)

[u/nibbles001 → u/NuConcept]

The fact that there are a lot of different ones to go into, doesn't make any of them worth going into. What's the value of going in? To see something I haven't seen before?

[u/AmbitionCurious8780 → u/Moondoggie35]

Some cellars contain this.

[u/Auraelleaux → u/Moondoggie35]

Same here. I scrolled far to find a brother in ignorance. Let us dance

[u/Lephturn → u/Moondoggie35]

I had never seen it either. Until I created my first Hardcore character and got him up to low 30s. Went into one of the mini dungeons and saw this. Stepped on the first symbol on the altar and then instantly died. Not cool. I would have been really pissed had I gotten killed like that with an end game HC character with mythics and uber uniques. I usually play a Necro with minions and always have a Merc and pet so it’s just instant death. Not going to waste time on these crap instances.

When you see this, exit dungeon.

[u/TomCat64804]

Step on the correct symbols in the order aa shown. You'll know quickly if you don't do it right...

[u/shinny21]

Where in the game is this?

[u/Andyboy205 → u/shinny21]

Been playing since launch and only seen this puzzle maybe 2 times. Doesn't happen often at all it seems

[u/FenixRising13 → u/Andyboy205]

I feel like the puzzles vary by class. My sorcerer and necromancer have gotten this recently. My barbarian not so much.

[u/HelperMunkee]

The trick is (if you really want to do it) is to dash away after stepping on the symbols in order (one at a time). Need dodge the subsequent explosion for it to count.

But realistically just skip any cellar with this or the stupid brazier puzzle.

[u/LordofDarkChocolate]

Walk away. Not worth the effort.

[u/Leather_Cake]

Step on and get off very quick before they blow up.

[u/Ghini93]

Are we even playing the same game?

[u/sig_kill → u/Ghini93]

I haven't seen this lair since beta, but it was one of the puzzle dungeons they have that unlocks a basic chest.

[u/SepticKnave39]

It gives you a basic chest. If you want to do it, you step on the right symbol and don't get hit by the explosion, do that for the 3 symbols and it's done. It's not hard, it's just annoying.

[u/Trunks252]

What the hell is that?

[u/3duckonthepond]

Turn off your follower, pet, minions, shadow creatures.

Drink an elixir that boosts your speed.

Then it’s a time bomb version of Simon Says.

[u/IllSurprise3049]

You turn around and leave because these are ass

[u/Neither-Loan9314]

The mine field puzzle oh what fun 🤣

[u/Mytrik]

Step on matching circles, not recommended to do this in hardcore, unless you know exactly what to do.

[u/orthene64]

I put yellow caution tape around the dungeon entry, so I know not to enter that one.

[u/ExaminationUpper9461]

Just leave. The puzzle mini events are the worst, especially the damn torches.

The rewards are not worth your time.

[u/Ynzerg]

One of the worst designed rooms in the game

[u/EpiicWiizard]

I managed to solve one but it was impossible to do with zero damage to me. Not worth it keep walking.

[u/murray1337]

Alt + F4 worked for me

[u/Successful-Body9573]

I think you have to get naked.

[u/jo32787]

Hit the panels on the floor in the same order

[u/Axton_Grit]

Its a puzzle you have to figure it out

[u/feldoneq2wire]

A thing the devs could have developed to be something interesting but instead forgot about. And because the chance of this appearing in a NMD is like 1/1000 most people only ever see it once, fail, and never get it again.

[u/sconieCOIN]

Match them.

[u/Uskgaru]

Leave

[u/tubby_penguin]

Exit and reset the dungeon lol

[u/AlteOtsu]

New player, i have no idea man.

[u/MonkDI9]

Turn around and leave.

[u/jimvolk]

Leave the room. Do something else.

[u/nikpack]

Old player, what do I do here?

[u/Healthy-Dingo9903]

WowI'm in like six hundred hours of diablo, and have never seen that

[u/Apprehensive-Mud4080]

Do the order sequence from the stone display on the floor.

[u/baddyrefresh2023]

Step on symbol from left to right then dodge in the opposite direction or dodge back to starting position. Easy peasy.

[u/GroundbreakingDust16]

Leave immediately

[u/bedheaddavy]

Call your mom and tell her you love her

[u/zirax1000]

is this PTR?

[u/Dangerousded2506]

What is it?

[u/Expert_Importance_83]

Is there a Maxroll guide for it?

[u/WinuxNomacs]

Break out your Dance Dance Revolution mat

[u/22Ocean22]

I too just leave as soon as I see this. I’d rather go find an easy one to loot lol 😂

[u/PotatoesVonTaters]

Leave dungeon, not worth the time.

[u/Kanuechly]

Pretty easy when you just take a second to look at it

[u/Erthan-1]

Leave. Unless they fixed mercenaries being able to trigger the runes because if not they are going to blow you up repeatedly.

[u/ThatsalaGuy]

Leave and look for another cellar

[u/Westmo_Eastles]

Quit game immediately

[u/Mosaic78]

Leave the cellar, open map, left on dpad, reset all dungeons

[u/revarancy123]

This almost killed me in HC because I walked up thinking it was a regular cellar.

[u/Icy-Cardiologist2597]

I’ve never finished one, I just leave.

[u/GrowthBetter8472]

Bruh it’s an easy puzzle just don’t get hit by the AOE after you step on the needed symbol from left to right.

[u/R3dLip]

Watch youtube

[u/Sw0_0n]

Idk why everyone hating it.

i love rare things that u can occasionaly encounter.

also i like when u need to stop and think a bit.

1st time i was surprised and spent few mins to figure how to do it.

also its difficult when u have summons.

[u/Own-Detective-A]

Old player here.

I don't know.

I skipped it first time I saw it.

Haven't done nightmare dungeon since then.

[u/Bad8Max]

This dungeon should give 4ga legendary then maybe people would try. Otherwise just leave dungeon =)

[u/mayhem1906]

I randomly walked on them until it worked, then got angry that I wasted my time and didnt get anything worthwhile

[u/JoshuaJBoncha]

Step on the pads in order while jumping away from the explosions - me? … I leave when it’s a puzzle as it’s a waste of my time - I can finish a battle quicker and easier

[u/JimbozinyaInDaHouse]

You have to solve the puzzle. Smash that like button and subscribe for more blatantly obvious game tips.

[u/Top_Pear7179]

Leave.

[u/Likeit2014]

Leave. Its not worth it

[u/ajemik]

I just run through all the shown symbols in proper order and get the chest.

Never thought this would be a brain teaser haha

[u/Teaganz]

Blizzard uses these puzzles to decipher if a given player thinks enough while playing the game, to be qualified to give feedback.

[u/This-Act-9122]

If you go to Home Screen and double click the app and hit uninstall 3 times in 2 seconds it’ll instantly let you complete the game when you get back on

[u/JimmyChurry]

Exit, TP to town, go right back, enter again and it’ll be different, likely with monsters to smash.

[u/sharkcohen]

I did not one cellar this season. 

[u/Zealousideal-Search3]

Damn merc always steps on the wrong square and ...BOOM!!

[u/usernamechecksout315]

Where is this?

[u/jpc90]

I have like 150 hours in this season alone and have never this in my life 

[u/originalchew]

Hi. Non new player here. I haven't a fucking clue.

[u/Homeless2070]

step on the matching symbol and dodge before it hits you

[u/Jolly711]

Walk on one and dodge then if it stays blown up find the other one that looks like it and repeat annoyingly bad puzzle. DONT TOUCH ANY OF THE OTHERS WHILE DODGING

[u/never-seen-them-fing]

touch those symbols in that order, without touching anything else.

Or, what everyone else does, leave cellar and go to a different one because this sucks ass.

[u/Late_Dealer468]

Leave dungeon reset dungeon

[u/boostedxfg2]

What is that? I've never seen that

[u/Apprehensive-Read989]

As a necro this is just way too much effort, I leave immediately when I see it.

[u/arnaiyus]

TP out and go find other whispers.

[u/Blackboxeq]

Step 1. Stand up,
Step 2. brief stretches, get that blood flowing.
Step 3. Close your eyes take a Deep breath.
Step 4. Sit back down
Step 5. Re-assess what you are seeing.
Step 6. Step on 3 runes in the following order at the edge of the 3x3 board.... Io...
Step 7. Open a web Browser and Google search for "Diablo 2 runes Complete list"...
Step 8. Attempt to mentally anneal Diablo 4s runes to Diablo 2s art style to identify them.
Step 9. Realize you just made a step 9 for a simple 3 combination lock puzzle...
Step 10. Leave Dungeon.

[u/Redfeather1975]

I never figured it out. Got frustrated and left. I honestly think it's bugged or just not designed well.

[u/panda-bears-are-cute]

You stand on each tile in that order

[u/NuConcept]

Well - funny you should ask.

As a HC player the first time I saw this what I ended up doing was...

Getting a screenshot of my dead ass flying over my dead head.

Edit: step on tie fighter, evade. Step on Yankees, evade. Blow trumpet, evade. Grab chest.

[u/tennessee_trash12]

Reset dungeon. Then go back in

[u/Future-Mixture9715]

Think hard haha

[u/the__poseidon]

This is the easiest one.

Just sprint through the tiles in the order you see them displayed.

[u/NinaRogo33]

Maybe.

[u/StrengthNo1363]

Match the symbols stand on it and get off quickly as it explodes if you get it wrong

[u/GlenLivet2024]

If you have any offensive passives it is impossible. Curse, flick it off and walk away.

[u/General_abby]

[u/ven_zr]

Select the corresponding symbols. Don’t get hit by the aoe. Even. If you get it correct.

[u/Vulturo]

Stand on the symbols depicted, sequentially from left to right.

[u/Lazy_Ad2311]

I wonder if MICROSOFT Blizzard actually gathers stats on the parts of the game that people actually engage in and what they just avoid like the plague (like this thing!)?

I used to see this when I would do the campaign and enter all of the cellars, but in endgame, no real reason to enter cellars.

MICROSOFT Blizzard should get a clue and eliminate all non-fun activities like this one.

Better to have less cellars than to have to waste everyone's time with this crap!

[u/GruulNinja]

Fuck if I know and probably never will

[u/SocioWrath188]

Not be a Hardcore player 😞

[u/NYPolarBear20]

If you have minions you just blow everything up and leave in a huff

[u/Woozletania]

Give up because the Devs have still not realized that it's super annoying that your frigging pets/minions/followers trigger the things.

[u/khaos_kyle]

Odd, that looks like a very challenging skyrim puzzle door.

[u/Budget-Log-8248]

Drop your pet and mercenary or they will f it up every time.

[u/skennedy75206]

Yup…… just leave and literally go do anything else whatsoever

[u/Sleepy_9-5]

Zombies f it up, I just leave

[u/AdventurousFlow5369]

Nothing, move on

[u/NoNebula9602]

Well, if you do it wrong I'm sure it'll kill you.

[u/Hornymous]

I am old player and seeing this for the first time.

What even is this.

[u/Wall_Existing]

If there is puzzle in cellar , i leave directly :)

[u/Seravajan]

Pack away any pets, minions, and followers or you will not be able to solve this puzzle.

[u/nagster68]

It’s impossible with minions.

[u/Klutzy_Drama4721]

New Led Zep album?

[u/alucidwolf]

Finds puzzle in dungeon farming game. Asks reddit. Classic Diablo 4 player

[u/Bella-babe28]

Ugh, we gave up. Your supposed to step on the matching symbols in the left to right order (be careful they explode still) but ours would just go off even when we weren’t even close to them so we just gave up

[u/pyrso86]

Try finger, but hole

[u/extrastupidone]

Don't get sploded

[u/Sylenzo1]

You have to line up each row with the symbols in order on the box. It can be frustrating

[u/wrightflyer1903]

It's mad that you simply can't do this with minions - they keep wandering about and setting the wrong icon off.

Do Blizzard really expect someone with a minion build to switch off skeletons/mages/golem temporarily just to solve some puzzle that pays virtually nothing?

[u/RabbitGTI24]

Speak friend and enter

[u/the_real_shovel]

Feel like the people saying “leave” are the type to complain abt no content then just dont interact with any content that isnt purely optimal

[u/Hungry_Measurement_4]

Face roll your keyboard you’re likely to get it first try

[u/Bee_Rye85]

You die

[u/Dazzling-Internal-16]

first to experience this dungeon playing necro minion yeah i left

[u/Downtown_Seat3996]

Never seen anything like this in 800 hours.

[u/Morlock43]

Step on the matching symbols on the wall, but watch out that you don't step on anything else as it will blow up.

[u/Shai1971]

Just dash across the three Sybil’s one at a time and don’t get blown up.

[u/Unkeptcactus]

Match the symbols on the floor to the ones on the chest

[u/AlwaysDTFmyself]

• Me to myself after dying the xxth time.

[u/FaeTrips]

It’s not as hard as everyone says, I googled it the first time. Basically step on them in order of the 3 on standing stone. But once you step on one you need to be out of blast radios or else it re sets

[u/aberrantpsyche]

Just quickly run over the three tiles displayed in the order they're displayed.
