How to Solve the Ancient Mines Puzzle in Diablo 4

Diablo 4 is an immersive RPG that can consume hours of your time without you even realizing it. Alongside its captivating storyline, the game offers numerous distractions and side quests that can easily lead you astray. Among these side quests, the cellars are a personal favorite of mine. They are quick, thrilling, and often yield valuable loot. However, the Ancient Mines puzzle in Diablo 4 provides a slightly different challenge.

When I first encountered the Ancient Mines puzzle, I found myself puzzled for quite some time. The symbols on the chest and the floor were clear, but activating them seemed impossible. Stepping on any tile resulted in a powerful blast that not only pushed me back, but also inflicted punishing effects. Through a combination of trial and error and the occasional health potion, I finally cracked the code.

To solve the Ancient Mines puzzle, follow these steps:

  1. Identify the three symbols on the chest.
  2. Locate the corresponding symbols on the floor.
  3. Step on the tile that matches the symbol on the far left of the chest.
  4. Quickly dash away from the symbol, as it will still activate and cause an explosion.
  5. Repeat the process for the other two symbols, ensuring you escape the blast radius before it explodes.

Once you have successfully stepped on all three Ancient Mines tiles, congratulations! You have solved the puzzle in Diablo 4 and will be rewarded with fantastic loot awaiting you inside.
