Enshrouded: How to Solve All Puzzles in Veilwater Basin Ancient Spire

by

As anticipated, the recently added Veilwater Basin in Enshrouded features an Ancient Spire. To reach the top, you’ll have to figure out all of its puzzles.

Honestly, this spire wasn’t too bad when it came to puzzles – there weren’t a ton of them. But don’t think that made it a walk in the park! It was packed with traps and enemies, and the puzzles it did have could be pretty challenging, actually.

Fret not, though, as we’ll help you solve them all with ease!

Entering the Ancient Spire

The Ancient Spire in Veilwater Basin is located in Lake Heartblood. We’ve pinpointed its location on the map for easy finding.

Before you head out, remember to get prepared! You’ll definitely need a ranged weapon – it’s essential for solving one of the puzzles you’ll encounter.

It’s also helpful to find items that increase your maximum oxygen level. These will let you stay underwater for a longer time.

Fish, such as Silverback and Whiskerfin, are a simple and effective way to do this. You can also benefit from items like the Diver’s Endurance Flask and Drak Soulward Flask.

Getting into this Ancient Spire is different than other locations. You can’t simply walk in! Instead of entering through the front, you’ll need to swim underwater and go beneath the Spire. There, you’ll discover a portal that will take you inside.

The Ancient Spire is actually quite simple to navigate. It’s a pretty direct path with only a few puzzles, and we’ll guide you through them shortly.

Be cautious as you explore—this tower is filled with hidden traps and enemies ready to ambush you. While it looks simple, it’s actually quite dangerous.

Floor 2 – Door Lever Puzzle

You’ll find your first puzzle on the second floor of the spire, about halfway through. It involves a locked door and six levers located around the room.

Each lever controls the light directly above it, switching it between a bright golden glow and a dim blue. Your task is to manipulate all the levers so that all the lights are set correctly simultaneously.

Okay, so I figured out the lever puzzle! Basically, the trick is to watch which columns the levers are attached to. You want to make sure all the golden columns are lit up with that bright gold glow, and keep the other columns dark – they should stay with that faint blue light. It’s all about getting the right columns glowing!

The clip above shows which levers to set on. The rest have to remain off. For more details:

  • Leave the southwestern light on. It’s directly to your left as you enter the room.
  • Turn on the southernmost light. It’s the one to your right as you enter the room.
  • Turn on the northwestern light. It’s opposite of the door and to your left as you enter the room.
  • All of the other lights should be off.

If everything went as planned, you should see a message saying the door is unlocked! You’re now free to leave the room and continue your journey through the treacherous Ancient Spire.

Floor 3 – Button Search

Head to the third floor and locate three buttons. You must press all of them to open the next door and move forward.

Begin by following the path shown in the video. This will lead you to the locked door you need to open, but before you can, you’ll have to locate the buttons.

To find the first button, go past the door and then turn to face the wall you just walked by. You’ll see the button there – simply press it.

Once you’ve pressed the button, return to the beginning of the floor and head back to the spike traps. Then, enter the room with the lightning traps. You’ll find the second button in the southwest corner of that room.

Next, head back the way you came, using the climbable grate. Before swinging across the gap, look down to spot the last button. It’s directly below you, on the other side. Jump down and press it.

Once you’ve done that, go back to the grate and follow the path to get back to the door. It should now be open, so simply walk through it to keep climbing!

Floor 4 – Hidden Door Button

Okay, so I finally made it to the fourth floor of the Spire, and there’s this puzzle! Basically, you keep going until you find a panel right next to a door. You need to step on that panel, and then immediately step on the button on the panel itself. That’s it! It opens the door, and I was able to move on.

Stand on the panel and use a ranged weapon to aim at the door you opened. You’ll need to shoot through a small opening in the wall to activate a hidden button. Be careful with your timing – make sure to shoot when the spikes aren’t moving!

Manage to land your shot here and it will unlock the door upstairs, allowing you to progress.

Floor 4 – Time to Swim

Finally, you’ll need to solve this puzzle to unlock the last door in the spire. You’ll find a locked door on the 4th floor, right next to a pool of water.

It’s best to eat foods that boost your oxygen levels, though it’s not essential. It can definitely be helpful, though!

When you’re prepared, jump into the water and swim straight to the finish. Be careful of the spikes – they’ll hurt you if you touch them! And just like running, you can press the sprint button to swim faster.

Swim to the end of the path to find a button. Pressing it will unlock the door, but you’ll need to swim back the way you came. Don’t worry, the button also refills your oxygen!

Now that you’ve learned how to solve all the puzzles in the Ancient Spire of the Veilwater Basin in Enshrouded, you can finally go through the last door, reach the top, and interact with the flame!
