[GameSpot] - Remnant 2: How To Solve The Harp Puzzle In The Forbidden Grove

[343iBot]

If you've been exploring the dense forests of Yaesha in Remnant II, you may have stumbled upon a massive river with a gap that you can't cross. To the right of it is a giant musical machine--a harp, to be precise--which you've likely assumed plays an important part in crossing the gap. But solving this mystery won't be a straightforward process. Read on to figure out how to solve one of Remnant II's trickiest puzzles.

How to solve the harp puzzle in The Forbidden Grove

When you first come across the giant harp in The Forbidden Grove, you'd be wasting your time trying to solve its puzzle, as you'll first need to power the machine up. Unfortunately, you can't do so until you've continued through more of the biome.

Continue up the stairs next to the World Stone room nearby until you reach the door to the next section of the biome. Enter inside and continue fighting your way through--potentially even through another area altogether--until you finally find yourself wrapped all the way back around to a new section of The Forbidden Grove.

Pull this lever to power the harp.

In this new section of The Forbidden Grove, you can access a lever near the World Stone room that will power the harp. Afterward, you'll be able to open a shortcut back to the World Stone, so be sure to rest if you need to, then check out the book in this room.

This book gives you the notes you need to input on the harp, as well as hints as to the spacing needed to play the melody correctly. We'll give you the exact input order below, but this info should get you started if you'd like to figure it out for yourself.

These are the notes needed for the harp.

Back at the harp, we're going to put in the notes found from the book. Raising a pin will count as a note, while leaving pins down count as blank spaces. We need to raise five notes in a specific order and with appropriate spacing. You can use the photo below for reference, but due to the angle of the contraption, you may find it difficult to get the spacing just right. As such, we've also included the written order further down.

This is the correct order the notes should be played.

You can have one note per line. After raising a pin, scroll down to the next line. If the line requires no notes, it will be indicated with a zero, so just scroll down without raising a pin. The full order numbered left to right:

• 5
• 0
• 4
• 0
• 3
• 4
• 1
• 0

With this order applied, pull the left to the left of the mechanism and the harp will play the melody. After a short while, a massive stone bridge will be raised that will allow you to cross and enter the next area where you'll want to prepare for a showdown with the deadly Ravager boss.

That was quite a brain-teaser, eh? Trust us, though--this isn't the only challenging puzzle in Remnant II. Check out how to solve the Lament dial puzzle.
