The Reliquary of Faith puzzle is found on a hilltop in northwestern Ezo, near the Oshima Coast in Ghost of Yotei. Like other Reliquaries, it consists of stone statues that must be rotated to solve a riddle inscribed at the site. The twist with this Reliquary is that interacting with any statue rotates adjacent statues as well, creating a puzzle focused on faith, balance, and synchronized action.

Location of the Reliquary of Faith

To find the Reliquary of Faith, travel to northwestern Ezo and ascend the high hill above the Oshima Coast. The shrine is marked by stone lanterns and a view of Mount Yotei. Access is straightforward from the main coast trail—the ascent is visible thanks to unique red maples and stone steps leading to the reliquary platform.​

Understanding the Reliquary’s riddle inscription

Upon interacting with the reliquary, the inscription reads:

"May the faithful bear witness to Yotei’s peak,
Together as one;
Let hearts turn not alone,
But in harmony before the sacred mountain’s gaze."​

This riddle hints that all statues must face Mount Yotei and each other, and that movements must be performed with collective intention rather than isolated actions.​

How to solve the Reliquary of Faith puzzle

Careful statue manipulation is required, as rotating a statue affects adjacent figures. Your objective is to ensure all statues face both Yotei’s peak and each other. The trick lies in sequencing rotations for linked statues, as all must align in unity to complete the shrine’s request.

Step 1

Approach the middle statue and rotate it once; this sets the chain reaction for the rest.​​

Step 2

Move to the right statue and rotate it once to further synchronize the orientation of the statues.​​

Step 3

Return to the middle statue and rotate it two more times; this should align all statues as required and complete the puzzle.
