Hell is Us: Plains of Mist Puzzle Solution Guide

How to Solve The Plains of Mist Puzzle in Hell is Us – Guide

Hell is Us layers its challenges with intricate puzzles, where each solved mystery merely unveils the next. This recursive design defines the journey through the Plains of Mist, beginning with accessing the Temple of the Fallen. Before even crossing the threshold, players face a multi-stage obstacle course of moving floors and cryptic mechanisms, which might demand multiple attempts to decipher. Below lies a walkthrough to bypass these trials.

Unlocking the Temple of the Fallen

Begin by inserting the Twin-Headed Serpent artifact—found earlier in Vyssa Hills—into the temple door’s designated slot. This triggers a symbol-based lock reminiscent of the game’s introductory dungeon puzzle. Clues etched into nearby ruins, detailed in Lady Sophia’s notes, reveal the correct sequence. For immediate resolution: align the symbols from center to outer ring as follows:

  • Serpent’s Coil
  • Chalice of Dawn
  • Eclipsed Moon

Post-activation, proceed inward until encountering a Timeloop device in a central chamber flanked by dual passages.

Navigating Chamber Enigmas

Take the left path from the Timeloop room, passing under an archway to reach a checkpoint. Proceed left again, crossing a narrow bridge into a hall marked by pressure-sensitive plates. Missteps trigger retractable traps, resetting progress to the last save. The first plate sequence requires activating three specific tiles:

  1. Abandonment (star’s right)
  2. Teaar (tree’s left)
  3. Dead (star-moon emblem’s left)

After bypassing this, ascend ladders and descend platforms while scanning golden-marked plaques. These provide context for the next trial: a four-step sequence on pressure plates, demanding precise order:

  1. Chalice & Palm (furthest right, first row)
  2. Dagger & Eye (second row, left-center)
  3. Kneeling Figure (third row, far right)
  4. Twin Serpents (closest row, far left)
