Study the Environment to Get Past Rune Gates
Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice Tips and Tricks
Rune Gates will block your progress in the game every once in a while, requiring you to solve a short puzzle each time. These giant iron gates are emblazoned with a specific rune, and you’ll need to find that rune in order to continue progressing. This may seem confusing at first, but getting past the Rune Gates is actually quite easy. What you need to do is study your nearby environment and look for some object, or combination of objects, that form the shape of the rune.
Luckily, Hellblade makes it even easier for you by having visions of the runes appear when you’re near the object you need to focus on. You can wander around each area until you see tons of flaming runes appear in your visions, which then means you’re right near the object you need to be looking at. Sometimes you may need to line up a tree branch or other object to form the rune. Just take a quick study of your environment and you shouldn’t have any trouble solving these puzzles.
