If you have reached the end of the Imperial Gardens in Remnant 2 and realized there is a puzzle to be solved, you are not alone. Right near the end of the large circuit that makes up the area, you will find a dial covered in symbols. You will need to line up four different symbols to solve the puzzle and get the Crossbow as a reward.
Imperial Gardens Puzzle solution
As you first enter the Imperial Gardens, you will notice a book lying on the ground. Reading it will give details of someone who already tried to get through the area. They mention oddly carved stones that you can find throughout the gardens, and these are what you need to solve the puzzle.
These are tricky puzzles, as they seem to be quite randomized. I cannot give you the symbols you need for your puzzle, but I can show you where I found mine and what they were. There are very limited spots where these can spawn, as they need to be behind the exploding yellow crystals that hold together some of the walls. As you explore the area fully, make sure you destroy all of them and fully check the areas behind them. They can be quite hard to see, so move slowly and patiently through the area to make sure you don’t miss any.
Also, some of them hide areas large enough to contain two of the stones with the symbols, so don’t assume that you are done in any area just because you find one of them.
Points A through D on the map above are the places where I found my own four symbols. Make sure you check all through the area. The stone blocks can only appear around this area of the Imperial Gardens, they will not appear in the other areas, but you’ll need to make your way through them to get around the back of the main area anyway.
Symbol A
Symbol B
Symbol C
Symbol D
At the dial, you can enter all four symbols that you found throughout the area. They can be in any order, so put them in however you like. When you do this successfully, a secret tunnel will open in front of you. Drop down the ladder, and you will be able to grab some loot and the Crossbow.
