The Reliquary of Strength in Ghost of Yotei requires players to turn wheels and locate the secret treasure of the mountain, but this isn't a riddle that Atsu can just brute-force her way through. To find the Reliquary of Strength and solve its puzzle, players can look below to uncover the solution that they might need, which will send them on the correct path to make sure they leave no stone unturned!

Where to Find the Reliquary of Strength in Ghost of Yotei

The Reliquary of Strength is located in the Ishikari Plain (pictured above), and can be found on top of the mountain just to the left of "Ishikari Fork". Once players approach the Reliquary of Strength, they will need to speak with the NPC here to move them out of the way, and then they can begin the puzzle by reading the riddle featured on the plaque:

The mountain raised the boy as her own

Demons looked away from them in fear

But the wolf watched them both, ready to provide aid

This riddle is the only clue players will have to solving the puzzle, but if they look carefully, they will see the most vital part: The demons looked away. For a full solution, look below!

How to Solve the Reliquary of Strength Puzzle in Ghost of Yotei

The solution to the puzzle requires players to move each of the wheels so that the 3 demon masks are facing away from the shrine. However, turning one of the wheels will always move the others, so players will need to move them in a specific order so that they are all aligned and the puzzle can complete. We've outlined what to do in the video above, but we'll detail a step-by-step solution below:

  • Interact with the front left statue once
  • Interact with the back left statue twice
  • Interact with the front left statue once
  • Interact with the front right statue twice

Completing the Reliquary of Strength will reward you with the Charm of Mount Yotei, which reduces all damage taken by a minor amount. However, if this is your second Reliquary puzzle, then you would have upgraded the Charm.
