This puzzle is key to the Royal Hunting Bow locked behind the area.

The Royal Hunting bow is one of the lightweight weapons you can acquire in Remnant 2. It provides maximum accuracy, and a good amount of damage, and is best used at medium range against enemies.

Today we will be showing you how you can solve the Postulant’s Parlor puzzle and acquire the Royal Hunting Bow in Remnant 2.

The Postulant’s Parlor Chess puzzle solution in Remnant 2

As you make your way to the Postulant’s Parlor section of Fae Palace on Losomn, you must head past a few doorways and enemies to reach a silent statue sitting on the stage at the central part of the area. Do keep in mind that you will need the magical quill to open the doorway that leads to Postulant’s Parlor.

Players will be controlling the white pieces on the chess board during the Parlor Puzzle, whereas the Postulant itself will be controlling the black pieces.

The aim of the chess puzzle is to put your three pieces in a straight line, making it more of a tic-tac-toe. If players manage to do so, they will complete the puzzle. If the enemy manages to put all his pieces in a straight line, players will be inflicted with the Curse status effect.

The cursed effect removes a portion of the player’s health which can only be regained by resting at a checkpoint. The status effect also stacks so the more you lose the game, the more your health will go down.

The statue is looking directly at the chess board in front indicating that you must solve the puzzle to unlock the door located at the back which contains the Royal Hunting Bow.  

Approach the statue and start playing the game. During the Postulants Parlor game, you must align the three pieces on the board in a row.

As you start the chess puzzle in Remnant 2, keep in mind that the game is random and depends solely upon the choices you make. However, there is a trick that you can use.

Simply, move the central piece to the top. Follow it up by placing the bottom piece to the left. Furthermore, place the same piece upwards, and lastly, drag the upper piece below to align all three pieces in a row and thus, solving the tic tac toe puzzle.

Below we have added an image that shows the moves and in which direction you need to move each piece to solve the Postulant’s Parlor puzzle in Remnant 2.

As you solve the puzzle, the door behind the statue unlocks to reveal the Royal Hunting Bow inside the room. Reach the room and interact with the Bow to collect it and add it to your inventory.
