The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt eGuide Quest Walkthrough: Act I (Velen) Secondary Quest: Magic Lamp

Four Guardians, Four Flames, Standing Proud in a Line

Sister Quests: Main Quest: Wandering in the Dark, Secondary Quest: An Invitation from Keira Metz

Locations: Elven Ruins

Characters: Keira Metz

Enemies: Golem, Wraiths

Objectives:

Head into another chamber, where a number of statues are standing. You sense a riddle. Beckon Keira over to read the Elder script carved on the wall. Her rough translation is as follows:

  • Four guardians, four flames, standing proud in a line.
  • The First to light his fire dared not march on the end.
  • The Second, by the First, played a woeful lament.
  • The Third kept close to his faithful beast.
  • The Fourth marched not beside the First, yet like the Second, played a tune.
  • And thus they stood o’er their queen, who slept benath flickering stars.

Objectives:

  • Light the braziers in the correct order.
  • Look for the lamp in the mage’s laboratory using your Witcher Senses.

After some head-scratching, the riddle is solved thusly:

  • The first guardian is just to the right of the arched doorway.
  • The second is just to the left of the doorway.
  • The third is to the right of the first guardian (far right statue).
  • The fourth is to the left of the second guardian (far left statue).

Use Igni next to each statue’s brazier. Once all four are lit, the door rumbles open.
