Chapter 7: Tower Shard Trial

The Tower Fragment Trial is one of the four Trials of Odin, the seventh part of the game. This guide will walk you through all the rune puzzles and transitions between times.

The ruins of the tower and the first mask

You will see a ruined tower in the distance, far from the tree. At its base, you can see the glow of Dillion’s figure entering inside. The plank bridge is destroyed, but there is an alternative route on the right — lower the other bridge to the rock. A terrifying giant mask awaits you at the top. There are no other options — look through it.

The mask will transport you back to the past, when the tower had not yet been destroyed. The bridge that was previously missing has now been restored. Go down and climb the stairs to the tower. The gate here is still closed, but to the right of it is the stone of knowledge — be sure to read it.

First rune: symbol F

The entrance to the tower is blocked by a rune door — you need a rune in the shape of the letter F. The second gate behind the door is also locked, so you will have to return to the present. Before doing so, walk across the other platform and lower the bridge back to the mask. Use the second mask to return.

At present, both iron gates on either side of the tower are closed. Go through the right gate — the path to Dillion is blocked by roots, but a new mask for traveling to the past has appeared.

Dillona is not present in this version of the world, but the tower is available for exploration. Inside, at the dining table, there is another stone of knowledge.

Go up one floor and turn toward the entrance door. On the right, near the boxes, a beam of light falls on the wall, forming the desired symbol F.

Important: Before returning to the dark world, exit through the lattice door on the right and unlock the door leading to the facade. You can also walk under the bridge to the edge of the location — Senua’s mother’s face will appear in the fog, and you will be able to talk to her.

Inside the tower: three new runes

Return to the present and open the rune door with the symbol you found. Inside the ruined tower is a stone of knowledge, but the path to the top has collapsed. Stand to the side of the doorway and focus to restore the staircase.

On the second floor, Dillon disappears behind a new rune door with three symbols: ↑, M, and J. Don’t rush to use the mask — first go up to the third floor. The stone of knowledge is also located on the second floor in the present time.

Rune M

At the top, push the bridge toward another mask. The door at the far end leads to a balcony overlooking the Dillon Bridge. Here, align the beams and ropes on the bridge to form the letter M.

Rune ↑

Return to the second floor and use the mask to travel back in time. To the left of the stairs, you will see a broken window. Move left and back until the wooden planks form a ↑ shape.

Go up to the third floor of the past. The door to the balcony is still open, but now there is a passageway with a stone of knowledge. Unlock the other metal door leading to the balcony.

Rune J

The last door to the opposite balcony and bridge is currently inaccessible. Return to the present through the mask on the third floor.

Now walk across the balcony through both open doors to the far balcony. From there, lower the bridge to the platform with the mask. Travel back in time — the J symbol is right in front of you, but it is upside down. Exit onto the balcony through the open passage and focus on the symbol on the other side.

Take the last stone of knowledge on this balcony, then go down to the second floor and return to the present.

End of test

Open the rune door with the three symbols you collected. Carefully walk across the narrow plank to Dillion—the trial is complete.
