Midnight Burrows Bell Puzzle First Solution

Before you start off on this journey, you’ll want to make sure that you’ve got the Bash (LB) and Dash (RB) abilities, as this is required to solve the bell puzzle. You’ll get these naturally as you progress through the game.

Midnight Burrows is south of Inkwater Marsh on your map.

Once you’ve reached the quest marker on your map, you’ll find Tokk standing next to an odd structure, and some bell-shaped flowers hanging high above.

Speaking to Tokk, he’ll tell you that ringing the bells will open up the way to find a Curious Tablet that can then be used to uncover a treasure. The problem is, he doesn’t know what order to ring the bells in to open up the way.

Just behind Tokk, there are a number of stones at different heights. These are your clue to the order you’re ringing the bells in.

To clarify, the first Midnight Burrows puzzle solutions is: left, center, right, right, left, center, left

All you need to do now is jump up and use Bash (LB) to hit the bells in that order. Doing so will cause the branches on the ground to crumble away, opening up a path further into Midnight Burrows.

Just to the right of the bells themselves, you’ll spot one of the light trees on the other side of a door. To get this, you’ll need to go and grab that Curious Tablet for Tokk… or just use our solution below.

Midnight Burrows Bell Puzzle Second Solution

The second puzzle involving the bells in Midnight Burrows then, technically, requires players to drop down the new path opened by ringing the bells the first time. Once down here, head left to quickly activate a Spirit Well and then head right.

You now have to find four keystones to open the door and get the Curious Tablet for Tokk. These are fairly easy to get, just make sure you buy the map from Lupo right near the beginning just above where you start. This then shows which portals connect to which, allowing you to quickly zip around and get the keystones.

Check your map to see where the Curious Tablet is hiding and use your keystones to open the way. Return up to Tokk who will tell you that it’s written backwards. Figure it out for yourself and then get to ringing those bells.
