It’s time to finish the possibly rarest one in the event puzzle chest trilogy! We’ve already taken a look at the Mutterlock chests and rune puzzle cellar, and now it’s time the torch cellar met its match! To be perfectly honest, I wasn’t even aware this one existed before some googling on the other two.
As far as we’ve seen, this particular cellar has been annoying a lot of D4 players, and there is lot of negativity out there regarding the difficulty of this puzzle.

We will offer 3 types of solutions, depending on what kind of player you are, as we don’t want to spoil your (potential) fun. So if you just want the TLDR answer, head to the end of the article!
For Those Who Like Puzzles: the Rules
If you want to solve this on your own, here are the rules. This puzzle is basically a variation of the Lights Out console game released back in 1995. You have a 3×3 field, and some of the braziers are burning while others are dark. The goal is to light all of them up. The catch is that when you toggle the state of a brazier (on to off or off to on), it also affects the adjacent braziers (vertically and horizontally – a diagonal brazier will be unaffected) and changes their state. So that’s it, go click some stuff and have fun :).
For Those Who Want to Try but Need a Tip
What you need to do is this: orient yourself. Decide which row will be the top, middle and bottom. Then apply this methodology:
Look at the top row to see which braziers are unlit.
Go to the middle row and interact with braziers that will light up unlit braziers on the top row.
Go to the bottom row and interact with braziers below each unlit brazier from the middle row.
Now go to the top row and interact with all of the braziers in line with unlit braziers on the bottom row.
Repeat this process until all of braziers are lit. It may take a while but you’ll get there.
There is also the method in which you light the corner braziers while the center one is unlit:
For Those Who Just Want to Get It Done
If you want a quick fix, head on over here, then click “Edit”, input what your brazier puzzle looks like and click “Solve”. A Minesweeper field will appear and tell you which brazier to interact with and how many times.
The Reward
It was spoiled at the start of the article, so you already know. Just like the other two puzzles, it’s a Radiant Chest (insert sad trombone sound here). That’s it. Nothing special, just a most-likely-dropping-1-rare-chest. It would be nice if the devs tied the quality of the loot to how fast you solved this, but that’s almost certainly not the case. Let us know if you solved it really quickly and maybe got a legendary out of it, but it’s most likely just a regular Radiant Chest (and thus pretty certainly not worth the time – but it can still be fun nonetheless).
