After using the Haligtree Secret Medallion to gain access to the Consecrated Snowfield in Elden Ring, Tarnished must travel to Ordina, Liturgical Town, in the far north and solve a puzzle to enter Miquella’s Haligtree. The ghost town will be relatively serene upon the player’s arrival, with no hostile enemies in sight. However, to progress to the Miquella’s Haligtree Portal, travelers must break the arcane seal blocking the Sending Gate’s entryway in Elden Ring. The only way this is done is by entering the Evergaol.
To enter the Evergaol of the Liturgical Town of Ordina, walk down the staircase from Miquella’s Haligtree Portal and go to the right. An Imp Pedastal will be sitting next to the entrance to the pocket dimension. Interacting with it will display, “Light the four figures in the Evergaol.” In essence, the solution to Ordina’s puzzle is quite similar to dispelling the barrier in Sellia, Town of Sorcery. Tarnished must traverse the hamlet, igniting candle flames as they go to remove the magical seal.
While Ordina may seem like a safe place, its Evergaol is not. Once Tarnished enters the dark dimension, they must stay on their guard, mindful of the three threats that haunt the village. First, the central courtyard has an invisible shadow assassin in Elden Ring that will attack adventurers on the ground. Fighting this enemy is nearly impossible; thus, fleeing is the most reasonable solution. Next, two dangerous archers will be guarding the rooftops where three of the candles are located, one can be avoided, while Tarnished must kill the other.
Ordina Liturgical Town Puzzle Solution In Elden Ring
To solve the puzzle of Ordina, Liturgical Town in Elden Ring, the player must light four candles held by statues in the Evergaol. The first can be found south of the Evergaol’s portal. To reach it, run forward and jump over the railing and onto the ledge on the left. Drop down on the stairwell and leap over another fence to climb a ladder beside a blue torch. Ascend the ladder to light the first candle in Elden Ring. Look across from this spot to see the next candle tower in the northeast. However, when the player traverses the rooftops, an archer will begin firing burst projectiles at them. Take cover and only approach when the enemy is nocking their next arrows. This archer has high HP and can deal stagger damage that will two or three-shot Tarnished if they aren’t careful. Kill the opponent and ascend the tower to light the second flame.
The third candle is on the western side of Ordina, atop a tower with a ladder behind the building. Another rooftop archer will be guarding the area nearby, along with the invisible Elden Ring enemy mentioned early. Try to find a stealthy route to light the third candle, avoiding at least the archer as much as possible. The fourth candle is in front of the town’s entrance on the right. Lighting this flame will be the most dangerous due to the assassin. Rush down and light the candle to be teleported back to the real world. Once all the candles have been lit, Tarnished can proceed to the Haligtree.
Elden Ring is available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC.
