rex infernus warden's blight Quest Overview
The rex infernus warden's blight quest begins in IX in Burials and combines map traversal, grapple movement, an explosive interaction, a purple-fire beam sequence, and a quote-based symbol puzzle. The route is easier to manage when divided into four phases: activating the central orb, opening the dragon temple path, completing the forest investigation, and solving the final room.
Video Highlights:
- Move the purple orb into the center of Pack-a-Punch.
- Retrieve the crystal from the Travel Car’s temple roof.
- Use purple fire to redirect a beam between lights.
- Find three bodies in the forest area.
- Rotate the symbols according to the wall’s sentence.
Keep a grapple available before starting each traversal phase. Several objectives require reaching roofs, walls, or elevated lights, so the grapple is central to the entire route.
The quest does not use a single visible pickup path. Instead, each completed interaction unlocks the next objective. Use the table below to track the required progression without skipping a stage.
| Phase | Main Objective | Required Interaction |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Activate the central mechanism | Pull the purple orb into Pack-a-Punch and turn the crank |
| 2 | Retrieve the crystal | Grapple to the Travel Car’s temple roof and break the wall |
| 3 | Open the hidden route | Place the crystal, collect purple fire, and redirect the beam |
| 4 | Complete the forest sequence | Allow the vine to finish, then inspect three bodies |
| 5 | Claim Warden’s Blight | Read the quote, solve the symbols, and use the anvil |
Because the quest moves between several map landmarks, identify Pack-a-Punch, the Travel Car’s temple, the dragon’s temple, and the central area before committing to the sequence. The final weapon is obtained only after the symbol solution has been accepted and the roof opens.
Activate the Orb and Collect the Crystal
The first part of the walkthrough establishes the quest state and supplies the crystal needed for the dragon temple. Complete these objectives in order. The purple orb must be positioned correctly before the crank becomes useful, and the crystal is located above the Travel Car’s temple rather than on the main floor.
Pick Up a Grapple
Obtain a grapple before beginning the first interaction. The tool is needed for the orb and later for the temple roof and beam-light sequence.
Pull the Purple Orb to Pack-a-Punch
Use the grapple to draw the purple orb into the middle of Pack-a-Punch. Confirm that the orb has reached the center before moving on.
Turn the Crank
Once the orb is centered, interact with the crank. This advances the mechanism and allows the next temple objective to be completed.
Reach the Travel Car’s Temple Roof
Enter the Travel Car’s temple and grapple upward toward the roof. Look for the breakable wall in the elevated area.
Use an Explosive on the Wall
Throw an explosive at the wall to open it, then collect the crystal inside. Carry the crystal to the dragon’s temple for the next phase.
If the crank does not progress the quest, return to Pack-a-Punch and check the orb’s position. The sequence depends on pulling it into the middle first.
The opening phase is primarily about positioning and access. The crystal is not the reward for turning the crank; it is found afterward in the Travel Car’s temple roof area. Treat the crank and crystal as separate objectives.
| Objective | Area | Tool or Action | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| Purple orb | Pack-a-Punch center | Grapple | Orb reaches the required position |
| Crank | Pack-a-Punch area | Interact after orb placement | Quest mechanism advances |
| Crystal wall | Travel Car’s temple roof | Explosive | Wall opens and crystal becomes available |
| Crystal delivery | Dragon’s temple | Place the crystal | Purple-fire phase begins |
Before leaving this phase, verify that you have completed all four checks:
- The purple orb is in the center of Pack-a-Punch.
- The crank has been turned.
- The roof area of the Travel Car’s temple has been reached.
- The crystal has been collected and delivered to the dragon’s temple.
Redirect the Purple Beam
After placing the crystal inside the dragon’s temple, return to the middle of the map and collect the purple fire. This fire must be carried to the end of the dragon’s temple and thrown at the eye. A purple beam then begins moving through the temple’s light system.
The beam is not solved by shooting it. Follow the light it touches, then use the grapple on that light to continue the sequence toward the doorway.
Carry the purple fire carefully to the dragon’s temple. At the end of the temple, throw it at the eye. Once the purple beam appears, watch where it bounces. The beam can travel from a light into a wall, so its path may require you to move rather than remain beside the eye.
| Beam Stage | What to Watch For | Correct Response |
|---|---|---|
| Purple fire | Fire collected in the central area | Carry it to the end of the dragon’s temple |
| Dragon eye | Purple fire reaches the eye | Throw the fire at the eye |
| First light | Beam bounces from the eye | Track the light it touches |
| Wall contact | Beam travels from a light into a wall | Grapple to the touched light |
| Doorway impact | Beam eventually reaches a doorway | Enter the opened route |
Continue grappling to the light touched by the beam. Repeat this process each time the beam moves to another light. The sequence is complete when the beam reaches a doorway and removes it.
Behind the opened doorway, interact with the purple orb. The floor then breaks open and reveals a vine. Allow the vine to drain your health until the interaction is complete. When the process finishes, a fruit appears. Interact with the fruit and eat it to trigger the next transition.
Avoid treating the purple beam as a damage event. Its purpose is to identify the next grapple target, so prioritize observation and positioning during each bounce.
This phase has three distinct transitions: the dragon eye creates the beam, the beam opens the doorway, and the fruit transports you to the forest area. If the forest does not appear, confirm that the vine sequence finished and that the fruit was eaten.
Search the Forest for Three Bodies
Eating the fruit teleports you to a forest area. Your objective there is to locate three bodies. Each body plays dialogue and leaves behind one Wonder Weapon part, so inspect all three locations before returning to the main map.
The forest phase is complete only after all three bodies have been found and their Wonder Weapon parts have been collected.
The three locations are spread across the forest. Search from left to right if you want a simple route, but remember that the middle body and the house body are separate objectives.
Left Body
Located on the far left near the dark tunnel. Interact with it to trigger dialogue and receive a Wonder Weapon part.
Middle Body
Found in the middle of the forest area. Inspect it for dialogue and another Wonder Weapon part.
House Body
Located on the right inside the house. Melee the floor open before interacting with the body.
| Body | General Location | Special Requirement | Reward |
|---|---|---|---|
| First body | Far left, near dark tunnel | Standard interaction | Wonder Weapon part |
| Second body | Middle of forest area | Standard interaction | Wonder Weapon part |
| Final body | Right-side house | Melee the floor open | Wonder Weapon part |
Use the following checklist before leaving the forest:
Forest Search Checklist:
- Inspect the body near the dark tunnel
- Inspect the body in the middle of the forest
- Melee open the house floor
- Inspect the body inside the house
- Collect all three Wonder Weapon parts
The house objective is the easiest one to miss because the body is not immediately accessible. If the final part has not appeared, return to the right-side house and check the floor before searching elsewhere.
Solve the Symbol Puzzle and Claim the Weapon
With the three forest parts collected, go to the back side of the Travel Car’s temple. Interact with the writing on the wall to receive one of four sentences. Each sentence corresponds to a different switch pattern for the symbols in the room.
The puzzle uses four symbols: the star, moon, galaxy, and runner. Use the quote exactly as received. Do not choose a solution based on memory, because the required switch pattern changes with the sentence.
The wall provides the puzzle’s condition. Record whether the quote says “remember,” “drift,” or “borrow” for each symbol before touching the switches.
| Wall Quote | Left Switch | Middle Switch | Right Switch |
|---|---|---|---|
| “I remember the runner that travels the stars while moon and galaxies stay true” | 0 | 2 | 3 |
| “I drift to the runner that travels the moon who borrows from galaxies when stars stay true” | 3 | 2 | 1 |
| “I drift to the stars that remember moons who borrow the runner that travels to galaxy” | 1 | 2 | 2 |
| “I remember galaxies that drift to moons who borrow the runner that travels to stars” | 2 | 0 | 2 |
The numbers indicate how many times to hit each switch. A value of zero means that switch is not part of the listed solution. After entering the pattern, hit the switch in the middle of the room. If the input is correct, the roof comes down.
Read the Wall Inscription
Interact with the writing at the back side of the Travel Car’s temple and identify which of the four sentences appears.
Match the Sentence
Compare the quote with the solution table. Pay attention to the order of the star, moon, galaxy, and runner references.
Hit the Switches
Activate the left, middle, and right switches the required number of times. Follow the table instead of using a remembered pattern.
Confirm the Input
Hit the switch in the middle of the room. A correct solution causes the roof to come down.
Use the Anvil
Grapple into the opened roof and interact with the anvil to claim Warden’s Blight.
Once the roof lowers, grapple upward and interact with the anvil. This final interaction awards Warden’s Blight and concludes the acquisition route.
When the roof opens and the anvil becomes available, interact with the anvil to claim Warden’s Blight Wonder Weapon.
