Remothered: Red Nun's Legacy Guide | Third Turning Pillar Puzzle

The third Turning Pillar Puzzle in Remothered: Red Nun's Legacy requires you to use Moth Manipulation to reach the controls and stop all four rotating pillars with the flame symbol facing forward. Unlike the earlier pillar puzzles, you cannot simply walk up to every button and activate it yourself. You must first gather the moths and direct them toward the mechanisms.

Where to Find the Third Turning Pillar Puzzle

The third Turning Pillar Puzzle takes place later in the story, after Susan has obtained Moth Manipulation. This ability becomes available after repairing the broken Metronome in the Residential Wing's wine cellar.

After completing the family puppet theatre sequence, Susan returns to the Convent. Follow the available route through the corridors to the room with Wyman's notes and a lily on a table. Use Retrocognition on the lily to reveal the memory, then continue through the following rooms.

Proceed through the large doors and follow the story sequence to the final pillar room. You will recognize the mechanism from the earlier puzzles, but this time the controls are obstructed and require Moth Manipulation.

Make sure you have unlocked the ability before attempting this section. Without it, you will not be able to reach the pillar controls and complete the puzzle.

How to Solve the Third Turning Pillar Puzzle

The objective is to stop all four pillars with the flame symbol facing forward. You don't need to reuse the Woman, Snake, Skeleton, and Heart combination from the first puzzle or the individual symbols revealed by the mirror during the second puzzle. The final puzzle has its own solution: every pillar must display a flame.

The main difficulty is reaching the controls. Look around the rotating structure for the cocoon containing the moths. Wait for it to rotate into view, then use Moth Manipulation to gather the swarm.

Once you have control of the moths, direct them toward the pillar mechanisms. This allows you to interact with the controls from a distance instead of approaching each one directly.

Watch the rotating pillars carefully. Each one cycles through different symbols, so you need to time your interaction to stop it when the flame faces forward. Focus on one pillar at a time, and watch its symbol as it rotates.

Repeat the process until all four pillars display the flame. If you stop a pillar on the wrong symbol, use the corresponding control again to let it rotate. Wait for the flame to return to the front before stopping it.

Do not assume that the pillars will remain aligned simply because you have activated the controls. Check each one before moving on. The puzzle completes only once all four flames face forward.

What Happens After Solving the Puzzle?

Once you stop all four pillars on the flame symbol, the mechanism activates, and the route forward opens. Continue through the newly accessible passage to progress through the final Convent section and return to the Noble Wing.

Before leaving the room containing Rosemary's belongings, take the opportunity to collect the available items, including Rosemary's Gun and Boris' Studio Key. You can also read the documents in the area for additional story context.

Final Thoughts

The third Turning Pillar Puzzle is simpler than the earlier riddles once you understand how Moth Manipulation works. You do not need to interpret another written clue or search for four different symbols. Instead, gather the moths when their cocoon rotates into view, direct them toward the controls, and stop every pillar with the flame facing forward.

If the puzzle does not complete, check each pillar again. Even one incorrect symbol will prevent the mechanism from activating.
