How to Solve Mudhenge Puzzle
How to conquer Mudhenge without trial and error
First, you need to move aimlessly through random… henges? After some time, you’ll stumble upon the phase “Drown’d Mary’s crown is buried past the hewed tower.” (This is found on both a pillar that requires some Mysticality to read, and in a bag which is guarded by a Gatorman.).
How does this phrase help us figure out which path to go through? Well, the answer is simple: we need to separate out the letters which correspond to one of the four cardinal directions.
“droWN’d mary’S croWN iS buriEd paSt thE hEWEd toWEr”
- WN S WN E S E EWE WE
But what sort of direction is ‘west-east’, anyway? Well, if you’ll recall what the lighthouse keeper in Crystaldream said, ‘west’ as we know it was actually rebranded as ‘new north’ a while ago. This means that we need to replace ‘west’ with ‘north’ and ‘north’ with ‘west’, like so:
- NW S NW S E S E ENE NE
North-west, South, North-west, South, East, South, East, East-north-east, North-east.
If you’d rather think in terms of numbers, then that’s 121252543 (from left to right).
Extra Tips
It may be best to go somewhere else and then come back to Mudhenge, just to ensure that your progress on the puzzle is reset. There is a subtle difference in the sounds that play when walking through a correct vs. an incorrect henge, too, but you don’t need to be able to hear them to solve this puzzle.
How in Zephyr’s name did you figure this out. Thank you so much, I would have never have found this alone.
switch 4 and 3
No, it appears to be correct.
Tried several times,
I had to go trough the middle one of the 3 portals on the right side last, after the top portal and before that the far most right one. … 5 3 4.
