This mystery is hidden within the Withered Necropolis, a place you’ll automatically visit while pursuing The Dark Horizon mission. If you’re having trouble locating the Withered Necropolis, this guide on how to uncover the Warden character in Remnant 2 provides all the necessary details for your journey.

Upon arriving at the Forlorn Graveyard, gamers ought to proceed through the following sequence of actions to unlock the puzzle granting Genesis:

  2. Turn slightly right, and allow the Glider to descend until it is possible to glide through the corridor.
  3. Hit the air current at the end of the corridor, and turn right.

Solve Withered Necropolis Symbol Puzzle

Upon reaching the Withered Necropolis conundrum, gamers will notice two sets of emblems: an upper set which remains unchangeable, while a lower one can be modified by interacting with the terminal nearby. In accordance with what aficionados of third-person shooters often anticipate, the objective is to modify the lower set to a specific pattern of symbols, and here’s what players need to understand to figure out that sequence:

  1. The top row cycles through symbol combinations, changing the combination that is displayed every hour.
  2. To solve the puzzle, players must set the bottom row to the symbol combination that will be displayed an hour in the future.

To clarify this notion with an example, if a player of Remnant 2 solved a puzzle within the timeframe of 10:00 am to 10:59 am, the sequence displayed on the top row would be the answer to the puzzle that was presented between 9:00 am and 9:59 am.

With this established, here is the intended way to solve the puzzle:

  1. Visit the puzzle, and record the symbol combination in the top row.
  2. Return to the puzzle 23 hours later, and enter the recorded combination into the bottom row.
  3. Press the “Open” input that is displayed in the bottom-left corner of the screen.

You can alter your system clock to advance time more quickly.

  1. Interact with the terminal in front of the puzzle.
  2. Adjust the bottom row of symbols to match the top row.
  3. Manually set your PC or console’s time back one hour.
  4. Return to the game, and press the “Open” input that appears in the bottom-left corner of the screen to complete the puzzle.

To ensure absolute transparency, I’ll provide instructions for manually setting the time on a computer, PlayStation 5, and Xbox:

PC

  1. Navigate to Date & Time settings.
  2. Turn off “Set time automatically.”
  3. Click “Change” next to “Set the date and time manually,” and make the adjustment.

PlayStation 5

  1. Navigate to Settings -> System -> Date and Time.
  2. Select “Set Date and Time” and “Set Manually.” Do not adjust the time using the “Time Zone” option.
  3. Make the adjustment.

Xbox

Before delving into the enigmatic Withered Necropolis puzzle, I’d recommend taking a small detour. Head over to your Xbox’s Settings, specifically General -> Network Settings, and choose the option to go offline. Once you’ve done that, it’s time for a quick reboot of your console.

Using the Xbox offline allows you to manually set its system time, but adjusting the time zone can only be done when the console is online. However, this condition presents challenges for fans playing Remnant 2 through Game Pass as they won’t be able to start the game with the console offline. Consequently, Game Pass players cannot exploit the Withered Necropolis puzzle solution and must use the intended method instead.

  1. Navigate to Settings -> System -> Time.
  2. Select “Time” (to the right of “Time Zone”), and make the adjustment.
