Plinths are essential architectural components that serve various purposes. They can be used as support for pillars or columns or as bases for statues, busts, or decorative vases. In Remnant 2, you are faced with a puzzle involving spinning four dials and matching them with their corresponding symbols. However, due to the randomization in the game, the solution to this puzzle will differ for each player. Nevertheless, we have compiled the steps to help you locate the four symbols necessary to solve the Imperial Gardens Plinth puzzle in Remnant 2.

As mentioned earlier, the symbols required to solve the Imperial Gardens Plinth puzzle will be randomized for each player. While we cannot provide the exact solution, we can guide you in finding the symbols yourself, as they are well hidden in the Imperial Gardens.
While facing the Plinth puzzle, descend the stairs until you reach a large red door.
Once the door is open, turn right and you will see two stone steps that you can climb.
After climbing the stairs, take your first left and jump across the platform.
Proceed to your left until you come across a giant tree that you can walk across.
Once you have crossed the tree, head right towards the path with a lit brazier, but before reaching it, turn left through the hole in the wall. (Note: There is a chest in this room in my game).
Follow this path until you spot a stone with the first blue symbol.

Next, spawn at the Checkpoint next to the four goat statues, as shown in the picture above.
From the checkpoint, turn right through the hole in the wall, then turn left. Follow the path until you come across two root bridges. Descend both bridges.
At the bottom, you will find a wall of red leaves that can be cleared by shooting the explosive root.
Enter the newly exposed room and locate the second Plinth symbol.

Exit the room and continue to your left until you reach a series of stone steps, as shown in the picture above.
Climb up the steps and follow the path to the right, where you will find the third symbol.

Depart from the third symbol, descend the stone steps, climb the two root bridges mentioned earlier, and head back towards the Checkpoint crystal. You will encounter a set of stone steps behind the checkpoint crystal.
Once you have climbed those steps, head left through a small path and continue downhill.
Upon reaching the bottom of the hill, approach the door that is marked above.
Once inside the room, climb up the step and proceed straight towards the set of stairs, which will lead you back to the Plinth puzzle.
Continue straight, past the Plinth puzzle, towards the large tree with the root that forms another bridge.
Once you have crossed the bridge, turn left and continue until you locate the fourth symbol.

You now possess all four symbols required to solve the Plinth puzzle in Remnant 2. Return to the Plinth and interact with it. Rotate the dials so that the symbols you found face the direction shown in the picture above. Place Plinth Symbol #1 in the outermost dial and continue with the other symbols until you have Plinth Symbol #4 in the innermost dial.

Once you have successfully solved the puzzle, you will be removed from the Plinth and presented with a “Quest Complete!” screen. A secret room will also open in front of the Plinth. Descend using the ladder and you will discover a new weapon (I found a crossbow), a new relic (I found the Cracked Ranged Fire Rate +3 relic), 55 Scrap, and a bandage.
