Diablo 4 Rathma’s puzzle solution

As you make your way through the Archive of the Makers during A Blade’s Weight, you’ll encounter a Rathmic Statue with various altars surrounding it – including three in front with skulls atop them. These are key if you want to solve Rathma’s puzzle in Diablo 4, but you first need to know what to do with them. Check the area to the right of the statue to find a Time-Worn Inscription, which states “Power born of Hell begets Corruption.”

Now inspect the three skull altars in front of the statue, to discover they feature translations of the three capitalized words in the inscription – which are Coruphar (Corruption), Abythos (Hell), and Dunaxys (Power). Using this information, you now need to interact with the Rathmic Statue and activate the altars in the same order as the inscription:

1. Dunaxys (Power)
2. Abythos (Hell)
3. Coruphar (Corruption)

Get the sequence correct and an opening will appear in the wall, which you can use to continue your journey through the Temple of Light as part of the A Blade’s Weight quest.
