Underkeep: Stuck in the Soulsmith / West-Garden (Workarounds)
Short answer
No confirmed fix yet. Players suggest: Torches Solution: You have to set the time (2:35) like in an analogue clock.
How to fix it
- Check your map to find the layout of the area. Treat the map like an analogue clock where north represents 12, south represents 6, and east represents 3 full hours.
- Understand how the minutes are tracked on this clock layout. Minutes run from 0 or 60 at the north position down to 30 at the south position.
- Locate the torches surrounding the well in the bushes and trees.
- Set the torches to the specific time of 2:35 based on the clock layout. This means you will need to place the torches on the eastern and southern pillars.
If it still doesn't work
- Realize there is no confirmed fix for this progression block yet, as players are still sharing workarounds for the 7 out of 8 keys dilemma.
- Double-check if the final key is actually tied to the well puzzle or if it is instead found in the separate room featuring the floor plates labeled "Yellow seal" and "purple seal".
What players reported
I got 7 out of 8 the keys I need to progress but i'm stuck. I think the last riddle I have to do is the one with the Well surrounded by bushes / trees with following hint: "Take a close look. Not every threat is alive". Or do I get the last key in the room with the plates stating the following: "Yellow seal" and "purple seal". Thanks in advance.
What players suggest
See the spoiler Hint: Map. Torches Solution: You have to set the time (2:35) like in an analogue clock. North is 12, south 6, east is 3 full hours Minutes go from 0/60 in north to 30 in south. So it will be torches on eastern and southern pillars
I don't understand.... look at the map - it will look like clock and then set the torches to the specific time - 2:35
