The beautiful yet challenging sequel to Ori and the Will of the Wisps, is full of difficult platforming, engaging boss fights, and mind-boggling puzzles that will really put players to the test. Ori and the Will of the Wisps includes a large variety of abilities, meaning that sometimes players may not be able to all of what they can do all the time.
In Ori and the Will of the Wisps, players will sometimes have to complete puzzles before gaining access to certain areas. The musical puzzle that grants access to Midnight Burrows is the toughest of these puzzles for players to figure out on their own. Here's a quick guide on how to solve the musical puzzle guarding the Midnight Burrows in Ori and the Will of the Wisps.
How To Solve The Bell Puzzle In Ori And The Will Of The Wisps
At the entrance to Midnight Burrows, players will find Tokk standing in front of an assortment of stones with engravings on them. Tokk will tell the player that he is unable to read the stone notation and thus can't solve the riddle. The stones all fall within one of three heights: short, medium, or tall.
To the right of the stones are two sealed off entrances, one leading downward and the other leading to the left. Above the pathway leading downward are three blue glowing plants. These plants also come in three different heights: low, medium and long. They also play a note that correlates to its height.
To solve the puzzle, players will need to Bash the plants that match the height of the stones, in order, without touching the ground. For example, a short stone would mean that the player needs to bash the lowest plant. Entering the stones left to right will open the ageway down into the Midnight Burrows. Entering the stones right to left will open the ageway to the right, which contains an Ability Tree. Below are the combinations that will unlock the ageways.
Left to Right: High, Low, Medium, Medium, High, Low, High
Right to Left: High, Low, High, Medium, Medium, Low, High
The Ability Tree will grant players a 25% damage increase for the rest of the game, making it super important for those tough fights later in the game. The player is now free to explore Midnight Burrows as they see fit!
