During the “Trapped in Darkness” mission in Pathfinder: Wrath of Righteous, you will come across the Shield Maze in Kenabres. This labyrinthine includes some mysteries that need to be solved to earn valuable rewards.
The first mystery is unlocking the door to the maze shield; once you have it unlocked, your next puzzle is decrypting the Rune Puzzle, marked by four colored gemstones embedded in the northwest wall.
This guide will pinpoint the exact location of the key to unlock the shield maze door, as well as the deciphering of the Rune Puzzle and the rewards it holds. This maze is a one-time treasure hunting opportunity for the players, so this Pathfinder: WOTR guide has covered everything you need.
How to Find the Shield Maze in Pathfinder?
To find the shield maze puzzle, head to the torture chamber in the northwest of Kenabres map. You must complete the Devoured by Darkness and Gwerm Family Secrets quests to unlock this maze.
Shield Maze Key Location
To find the key to the locked Shield Maze Door, you must find the Hosilla’s Orders document. For this, you will have to get to the eastern section of the dungeon right past through the cellars.
You will encounter an enemy there called the Hand of Hosilla, who will drop the document. It will tell you that the door is opened by clicking on the torch on the left side of the door.
How to Solve the Shield Maze Rune Puzzle in Pathfinder WotR?
The last section of the dungeon contains the rune puzzle that requires you to press the colored gem in the correct order. Note that the puzzle resets every time you press the wrong button.
The order you need to follow for this colored gems puzzle is as below
- You have to hit the yellow switch first
- then press the blue switch
- followed by the red switch
- press the yellow switch one last time.
The secret door will open, and now you can enter the room to discover the Sword of Yaniel. Your companions will hint that the sword should not be here. It should be in the Tower of Estrod, along with the other relics and swords. You can loot the chest in the room for a rare longsword called Radiance. And that concludes the Shield Maze in Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous.
