How to Solve Standing Stone Puzzles in Mirthwood

Mirthwood - Standing Stones Puzzle
Find three corresponding runestones to solve the large standing stone puzzle in Mirthwood.

Mirthwood has these mysterious circles of stones that can be activated to unlock unique skill cards. One of these stone circles is located in the starting area, just east of your house in Blue Meadows. However, if you try to interact with the stone circle, nothing happens.

The trick to solving this puzzle is to note the three rune symbols on the large standing stone in the center. Explore the nearby areas to find three smaller runestones, each marked with the same rune symbols, and activate them by attacking them with your sword.

Knowing how to fast travel in Mirthwood will help you save a lot of time. Otherwise, prepare to spend hours running from one side of the map to the next.

When all three runestones have been activated, return to their corresponding stone circle. The runes on the circle should now be glowing blue. Interact with the circle to unlock a skill card and complete the standing stone puzzle in Mirthwood.

The scattered runestones can be activated in any order as long as they belong to the same standing stone.
