Bring the Crypt Key to the locked tower in northeastern Fainweald and ride the lift down. In the final puzzle area, drop through the floor, use the hidden-wall route back to the pressure plate, stand on the plate and shoot the exposed hanging bell with your sidearm. The bell repairs the gap; cross it and strike the movable pillar until it rests on the pressure plate, holding the final door open.
Do this first
- Collect the Crypt Key at Desolate Peak before crossing to northeastern Fainweald.
- Open the tower, descend by lift, clear the coffin enemies and test suspicious walls.
- Drop through the broken floor and follow the lower route back toward the plate.
- Stand on the pressure plate and shoot the revealed bell with your sidearm.
- Cross the repaired floor and push or strike the pillar onto the plate.
- Loot the opened chamber, then use the white-light exit when ready.
Get the Crypt Key before crossing the map
The Hall of Echoes entrance is in northeastern Fainweald, but its key is at Desolate Peak in the west, above the Illusionist's Cache route. The separate Crypt Key guide covers the pickup and tower landmarks; this page begins once you can open the door.
Descend and read the false walls
Ride the tower lift down and clear the coffin-linked enemies before searching. Current walkthroughs agree that breakable or false walls connect the dungeon route. A lower chamber contains ghosts and a white branch that can be struck for Laterite; the important hidden-wall route returns you to the pressure-plate side of the final mechanism.
Shoot the bell while the plate is held
Standing on the pressure plate raises the wall that hides the large bell. Stay on the plate, equip the sidearm and shoot the bell. If the shot consumes Resolve and you are empty, use the nearby Resolve stalk described by current walkthroughs before assuming the puzzle is broken. Ringing the bell repairs the missing floor between you and the pillar.
Move the pillar onto the pressure plate
Cross the newly repaired section and strike the movable stone pillar in the direction of the pressure plate. Once the pillar weighs the plate down, the mechanism remains open without your character standing there, allowing access to the reward chamber.
Rewards and exit
Current route sources agree on a Sheephead Totem plus upgrade loot including Dorsalite and a Winterglass Gem. Loot before stepping into the white light, which returns you from the dungeon. Reward quantities and values can change, so the named item list is kept narrower than unofficial full-loot tables.
If the puzzle does not advance
Confirm four states in order: the plate is depressed, the wall has exposed the bell, the sidearm shot actually rings it, and the gap visibly repairs before you move the pillar. If one state is absent, reset from the latest safe checkpoint rather than repeatedly striking unrelated walls.
