How to Solve Halssius Conflux Ruins Puzzle
With all the obstacles out of the way, if you look closely around you, you will see some statues with specific areas of the statues plated with gold; these are the hints for the puzzle. In the central area, you will find a small pillar before the statue that controls the 3 Rings. These Rings contain images, and using the hints provided, we have to line up the 3 images in their respective rings along the statue to solve the puzzle. Follow the steps mentioned below to complete the puzzle.

Align the First Ring
Using Swift Stab, insert your sword in the small pillar to activate the rotating device. Upon insertion, move all the way left up until the space between the pointer of the pillar lands on the image of the Man’s Portrait. Now you have successfully aligned the first ring, indicated by a golden glow from the image


Align the First & Second Rings
After completing the primary ring, the puzzle will rearrange. This time, after inserting your sword in the pillar, move right until the images of the Jar and the Psi sigil show up on the 2nd ring, and Balance Weight on the 1st Ring.


Align the 3 rings
After the puzzle has rearranged again, drag the pillar using your sword and go to your right until the Horse symbol shows up on the 1st Ring, the Horse symbol and Man’s Portrait on the 2nd Ring, the Jar, Balance Weight, and Psi sigil on the 3rd Ring.


Upon completion, the Spear in the hand of the statue will spread a Golden Light, and the Abyss Artifact will be unlocked as your reward.
