Every now and then, as a player goes throughThrone and Liberty, they will encountera Codex side questthat will test them in new ways. While there are plenty of these quests that will aim to help them test their combat prowess or physical in-game abilities, there are some that will make them use their brain to try and figure it out. One of these quests is the Demon’s Test,a Codex entrythat is unlocked in the Manawastes area of the map, to the northeast of Santuary Oasis. This area is best explored once a player is around Level 44 or 45, but thisquest can be tackled even before that.
Luckily, this quest doesnot rely on having to fight any enemiesthatmay be too strongand can easily overpower a character. Instead, this quest is allabout solving puzzles, three of them in fact, and these can be just as tough. It is not a surprising thing to find a player stuck beating their head against the wall to try and solve one of these puzzles to no avail. Fortunately, this guide is here to break down how exactly a player can beat these puzzles and bring this quest to a close.
How To Complete Demon’s Test
Over the course of the Demon’s Test quest, players will have tocomplete five objectives:
Here is how to do each of these:
Examine Junobote’s Experiment Log
The log that sets this whole quest in motion can be found in the Manawastes area, overlooking a small arena-like spot. It is west of the Manawastes Waystone, and players will need toclimb up the rock next to the spotin order to drop to where the Experiment Log is.
It is sitting on a pedestal and players just need tointeract with it to begin the quest. It starts with Junobote speaking to you and transporting you to a different realm.
Pass The First Test
The first test tasks players with solving a riddle to figure out what kind of creature they have toform in a shadow using three different objects. To save people some time, the answer to the riddle is a unicorn, so they can turn their attention to the three objects on turnable pedestals that they must manipulate.
The three objects are statues of a horse, an eagle, and a sword. To start, turn the horse statueuntil its shadow is facing the left. This is the backbone of the image and the rest is easy to figure out from here.
Next, turn the eagle so thatonly the wings can be seen, and they are connected to the horse’s back. This is now done.
The final statue - the sword - needs to be turned until its shadow appears to bea horn coming out of the horse’s head. This will complete the puzzle and open a teleport circle to take the player to the next step.
Pass The Second Test
The second puzzle is trickier than the first, and it involves interacting with the statue hereto play a series of notes. As it plays these notes, symbols of different colors will appear in front of it. These colors will correspond to the seven crystals in front of the statue.
The goal is to memorize the colors of each note and thenhit the crystals in the same orderthat the statue plays them, matching its tune and rhythm.
This is far easier said than done, so here is a simple breakdown of the solution: when looking at the crystals, imagine each one has a number from 1 to 7, left to right. With that in mind, here is the order to play the crystals:2, 5, 6, 4, 3, 1, 3, 2.
Once the notes have been played,another teleportation circle will appearfor players to use.
Pass The Third Test
The final test of the quest is even tougher, and it involves using five different crystals that will each raise or lower certain golems standing in front of the player. The goalis togetthem all at the same level, but the trick is that each crystal will change more than one of the golems, which makes getting them on the same level all the more difficult.
Much like the last test, imagine each crystal has a number assigned to it, 1 to 5, from left to right. With that in mind, here is the correct order:2, 4, 3, 3, 5, 5.
This willtrigger another teleportation circlethat players can take to the last step.
Acquire The Reward
The final step is an easy one, as the player will be transported to the top of the golems where they need to follow the path they created to where they caninteract with an item for one more interaction with Junobote.
After this brief conversation, they can take the item next to them, and then they’ll betaken back to the game worldand the quest will be finished.
