If you`ve encountered the mysterious church door in “Cronos: The New Dawn” and are unsure how to proceed, this puzzle can seem quite challenging. Unlike many other tasks in the game, it requires you to find and place specific items in a precise order. While the enigmatic engraving on the door offers valuable clues, we`re here to provide you with the exact solution. Please note that this particular puzzle is distinct from the chapel door riddle, which can also be found in the hospital, potentially causing confusion.
How to Open the Church Door in Cronos: The New Dawn
Upon approaching the church door, you`ll observe six statues. One statue is already holding a Sickle, which cannot be removed. Two others initially hold a Cauldron and a Shield. Three statues are empty, indicating your need to locate the missing ornate items: a Child, a Sword, and a Trident. These three items are acquired naturally as you progress through this area of the game, making them unmissable. They are clearly located along the main path.
A careful examination of the Mysterious Engraving on the church door will provide you with hints regarding the placement of the items you`ve found. For instance, it mentions that “one row is forged in steel while the other fosters life,” offering further clarity on which side items should be placed. However, if you simply want the precise solution, here it is:
- First, remove the Cauldron and Shield from their initial positions.
- Place the Shield on the left statue closest to the door.
- Place the Child on the middle left statue.
- Place the Cauldron on the bottom left statue.
- Place the Sword on the right statue closest to the door.
- Place the Trident on the bottom right statue.
The statues should appear as shown in the image below, and the door will open immediately.
Before stepping through the newly opened door, we highly recommend returning to a nearby safe room to save your progress and prepare for what lies ahead. Stock up on ammunition and healing items, as a challenging boss battle awaits inside the church. However, prioritize crafting healing items over ammo, as the boss will summon enemies that generously drop ammunition throughout the fight. Your primary goal is to survive the onslaught by keeping your health topped off. You`ve got this, Traveler!
