Light the pyres in this order: Sun first, Earth second, Moon third; once all three stay lit, the bell sequence activates so you can continue Origin of the Ringing.
The lighting fires puzzle in Beast of Reincarnation is a short pyre-order check, but it is easy to overthink because the three symbols sit around the arena like a positional riddle. The clue is about celestial bodies being born, so read the symbols first and the room layout second.
Lighting fires puzzle answer in Beast of Reincarnation
| Order | Pyre |
|---|---|
| 1 | Sun |
| 2 | Earth |
| 3 | Moon |
KEY!
The correct sequence is Sun → Earth → Moon. Do not solve it as a nearest-to-farthest route around the arena; the order comes from the Light the Pyres clue, which points you toward the birth order of the celestial bodies.
Check the symbol at the base of each pyre before lighting it, then follow Sun → Earth → Moon without using distance as your guide.
Lighting fires puzzle location in Beast of Reincarnation
You find this puzzle in the Mountainous Region, inside Pilgrim’s Zone, while working through Origin of the Ringing. Follow the Belfry route until you reach the Belfry Entrance section, then continue toward the fire arena.
The setup is hard to miss once you are on the main objective path: you pass through the Belfry area, deal with the guarding Golem, and reach a shrine-like arena with three smaller pyres around a large central brazier. The Rusted Golem nearby tells you to light the fires in the proper order, and the readable Light the Pyres document gives the clue.

After the three pyres stay lit
When the order is right, the flames remain active, the central fire mechanism comes alive, and the bell sequence opens the way forward. Your next objective is to reach the upper Belfry area and ring the bell so Origin of the Ringing can progress.
Depending on the route you take through the Belfry section, the path may involve the elevator behind the statue toward Belfry Interior, or climbing from the right-side hut and using Emma’s hair abilities to reach the higher platform. Treat both as Belfry access routes after the puzzle, then follow the opened path to the bell mechanism.
Why the pyres reset
If you light the wrong pyre, the flames go out and the Rusted Golem prompts you to try again. The most common mistake is using the arena layout as the answer, especially by lighting pyres by distance instead of checking the Sun, Earth, and Moon symbols.
The other easy miss is skipping Light the Pyres and assuming the NPC dialogue alone gives the whole sequence. The document is the real hint, and you also need the fire puzzle completed before the bell route becomes usable.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if you light the wrong pyre first?
The lit flames are extinguished, and you can retry the sequence. There is no one-time failure state here, so restart with Sun, then Earth, then Moon.
What is the Light the Pyres clue asking for?
It is asking for the birth order of the celestial bodies named in the puzzle, not their placement in the room. That is why Sun comes before Earth, and Moon comes last.
