Rune rooms

There are three underground chambers or "rune rooms" around Loc Muinne. Each room has a warded chest protected by one of twenty-four possible combinations of four runes on the wall or floor: animal rune, art rune, sky rune and time rune. In each room there will also be a page with a written hint for the correct order to extinguish the runes (see below). Extinguish the runes in the correct order and the chest will open. If you extinguish the runes incorrectly, you'll either get burned, shocked, or poisoned. You can cast Quen to absorb the damage.

You will need to buy the Runes of Power series of books to decrypt the magical signs and hints in the rooms as part of the quest The Gargoyle Contract.

• The Runes of Power I
• The Runes of Power II
• The Runes of Power III
• The Runes of Power IV

Then once the seals in all three rooms have been activated, return to Bras of Ban Ard for reward of 200 and 150 XP.
