Chapter 4 of Beast of Reincarnation drops a riddle in front of the belfry, and solving it is the only way to ring the bell and reach the chapter’s boss. The puzzle sits beside three pyres, each marked with a symbol for the Sun, Moon, or Earth. Light them in the wrong order and a Golem blocks your path until you try again.
Quick answer: Light the pyres in this order — Sun, then Earth, then Moon. A short cutscene plays once the sequence is correct, letting you head upstairs to ring the bell.
What the ‘Light the Pyres’ riddle asks
The puzzle appears once you enter the area holding the belfry. Before you can move on, you have valuables to collect, Golems to fight, and this riddle to solve. The clue is written on a note titled “Light the Pyres,” placed right next to the pyres themselves.
Light the pyres of the Sun, Moon, and Earth. Let your mind dwell on the universe. Which star gave rise to you? Light the celestial bodies in the order they were born.
The key line is the last one. The riddle wants the three celestial bodies lit in the order they formed, not the order they are named on the note. That means the Sun first as the star that everything else grew around, then the Earth, and finally the Moon.
The correct pyre order
Each of the three pyres carries a symbol so you can tell them apart. Match the symbol to the sequence below and light them one at a time.
| Order | Pyre symbol |
|---|---|
| 1 | Sun |
| 2 | Earth |
| 3 | Moon |
How to know it worked, and what to do if it doesn’t
When the order is correct, a brief cutscene plays. After it finishes, you can head upstairs to ring the bell and continue toward the Chapter 4 boss.
If the order is wrong, the Golem standing in front of the pyres tells you to attempt the puzzle again. There is no penalty for a mistake, so reset and relight the pyres in the Sun, Earth, Moon sequence. That single order is the only one that clears the riddle, so once the cutscene triggers you’re done with the puzzle for good.
