Anyone figured out the group puzzle? It's driving me crazy. Tried every combination we could think of but no luck

    Is that the pads on the floor? I just thought needed 6 people (6 pads right?) on all of them at the same time.

    Yeah, that's it. I heard that as well but a guildmate told me covering all the plates hadn't worked when they made an attempt

    So, my last post was deleted for "bumping".

    My group made lots of attempt. "All covered" same time or not, waiting "elite", clicking when on plate when elite spawn etc...

    I don't know if it's bugged or not.

    There is no clue in the whole dungeon.
    So I hope someone will come here and post how to solve it or maybe a clue :)

    PS: I hope ZOS_SilviaS will be happy with this post :smile:

    Not sure what would be left.

    myself and a friend of mine just 2 of us messed with it a bit and solved it no sure how, but i did see lightes glowing on that shield on the wall when we were jumping all over those pads, and when all lights disappeared a brutal boss spawned, 50k hp bug with 2 15k hp spiders, we pwnd them but died like 2ice
    I have to give a credit to AD pack of Vampires with VR10 Night Mistress leading them (seriously VR10 10 days after the official release?).

    I run this dungeon clockwise like 5 times. Found only 2 achievement bosses: Clacker and Silent Sword. Where the hell are others?

    Found Vath'ira!! Now i just need Na-totambu Sword Saint...
    These are the one i got so far:
    Arbhu-ra - Khajit boss at the first room.
    Clacker - turn right where the entrance of the lost city inside the dungeon, big Scarab.
    Gritstone Patriarch - in front of one of the eyes from the quest, place is full of gargoyles cant miss it.
    Vath'ira - khajit mage also in the first room, in a cell casting spells on a skeleton.

    Sword saint spawns in a little cove to the right of the puzzle pad. And Na-totambu doesn't appear on the name. Pretty short spawn time.

    Thank you very much man! i've found him! Easy kill, just got the achiev!
    I'd never find him since his display name is Silent Sword and not Sword Saint!

    Still i could not get the dg completed... maybe because of the puzzle?

    You need to turn in quest (relic hunt) to complete dungeon. It's kinda weird

    Puzzle has to be a group of 4 thing based on it being a group achievement. Maybe 3 on pads and 1 on button, but sadly I have no friends. The random people I find won't listen long enough to try all the possible combos.

    Turns out that you're right, had to deliver the quest back in Sentinel to the woman and the debt collector, Now i'm finished with this troublesome, awesome place!

    Thanks

    What i don't get is that the puzzle seems irrelevant...

    made both achieves for bosses, exploration quest, but still miss this puzzle achievement.. what's worst, is that can't say if it's bugged, like some other quests or we all just too dumb to find a solution.... any dev/admin answer to the topic could be usefull

    Last night I noticed that the same pressure plates were in the nearby sword school(forget the name) that was east of the dungeon. I looked around but could not find any other clues

    Well, after hanging around the pressure plate area for a while I can confirm that the two guardian adds (spider and scorpion) just spawn normally like any other mob.

    As for the big boss (its a beetle with Guardian in the name), it was just in the corner spawned already the first time I entered the room, killed it but no achivement. Next time I see it I wil try the shield button on the wall with the main boss up (if possible).

    Other than that, it seemes bugged or some mechanic I don't understand to get the achivement to trigger.

    All the guardians(Spider Guardian,Scorpion Guardian and Scarab Guardian) spawned normally with no need of them pressure plates...
    I stayed there long enough to see all 3 respawn after 15 minutes we killed them.
    I didn't check for a puzzle achivement tho, is there really one for this dungeon?

    Ah and no achievement is given for killing the said guardians.

    Hope we can find a way to complete it 'cause as @stevenyaub16_ESO said extra skill points are always useful!!!

    guardians are probably clues to the puzzle, since they represent the tiles,

    The sword saint is named differently in the game. Something like sword something or something. He/she spawns near the puzzle on right side on a plateau.

    can't seem to find Arbhu-ra, got every one else?
    some one said the first room where Vath'ira is but sweeped the whole room.. yet nothing

    For Arghu-ra, hes a Khajiit is the first room with all the "Duneraider" mobs, he is the only one, standing by the "bonfire" however, generally with a guard of two mage spawns. Killed him 4 times in the same spot, with the same spawns. And he seems to have a pretty fast re-spawn timer.
