The Warden Vault is a side quest you can activate on the Rivain Coast. The vault is located in an abandoned fort and is locked with three levers placed in different places in the fort. Each lever is located in a separate room, opening which requires solving a short puzzle. On this page of the guide we have described how to open the Warden Vault.
Where is the first lever?
The first lever is on a wooden balcony in a large hall full of columns, where there are always hostile Antaams. To open the grate blocking it, you have to go outside through the opposite door, jump off the wall to the ground and turn around. There you will find a hole in the wall filled with wooden junk that you can destroy. They clutter up three torches - you must light them all. First light the left torch, then the right one, and finally the middle torch. Return to the grate, open it with the now active lever, and pull the lever inside the open room.
Where is the second lever?
The second lever is located in a narrow corridor, behind a hole in the wall. You need to lead the wisp to the hole so that it possesses the skeleton and opens the door for you. You will find the wisp in the outer courtyard surrounded by walls nearby - you must climb up the ladder found there. Touch the wisp and lead it back to the hole. The wisp will open the door, allowing you to pull the second lever.
Where is the third lever?
The third lever is by far the most problematic. Interact with the pile of bones you probably came across while walking through the hall without a ceiling. A spirit will come out of it, which you must now find. You must go back to the hall full of columns and exit through the main gate. Outside, go left and instead of knocking down the wooden beam leading to another area, turn left again. Go up the stone stairs where you will find the ghost. Touch it and it will move to another area.
You now need to go back and return to the hall full of columns. On your way there, touch the ghost again near the entrance to the corridor. Then, at the end of the corridor, touch the ghost standing by the painting to open a secret passage leading to the third lever.
How to open the vault?
After using the three levers you can now open the vault. Inside the hallway, go down the side stairs and open the door. You will find several chests in the vault. This will complete the mission.
