The Haunted House Pillar Puzzle sits deep inside the Haunted House on The Haunted Floating Festival island in Disney Dreamlight Valley. It asks you to rotate four pillar tiles until they match a set of symbols hidden across the rooms, and it only clicks into place once every tile shows the right image in the right slot.

Quick answer: Set the four pillar tiles to Spiderweb (I), Cat (II), Bat (III), Witch hat (IV). Finishing the order spawns a Lost Magic Page on the ground nearby.

What you need before the pillar unlocks

Before attempting this stage of Release the Curse Haunted Key Puzzle #6, progress through the quest until the Haunted House interior and its rooms are available.

The symbol locations only appear once you clear the Haunted Library Puzzle #7. Near the end of that quest you solve a Memory Orb puzzle, and the picture it reveals points you toward the rough area of each hidden symbol.

A second pillar, the Combination Pillar Puzzle #2, sits elsewhere on the island and uses the exact same symbols and look. Its answer is completely different, so do not carry one solution over to the other.

All four symbol locations in the Haunted House

The Memory Orb image hints at each spot, but the actual symbols are tucked away from where the hint seems to point. Here is where each one really sits.

The hint images can throw you off. The bedroom clue nods at a wall map, but the spiderweb is near the entrance instead. The storage room clue shows back-wall shelves, yet the cat sits on a crate in the center. The main room clue points at a Lady and the Tramp photo, while the bat hangs over the crafting station. The hallway clue shows a sword on a table, but the witch hat is under a stone lion you have likely already broken.

Setting the pillar order

Return to the Haunted House Pillar and rotate each slot to show the matching symbol. The Memory Orb result gives you this order:

  • I – Spiderweb
  • II – Cat
  • III – Bat
  • IV – Witch hat

How to know it worked

The moment all four tiles display the correct symbols, a Lost Magic Page appears on the ground close to the pillar. Picking it up is your confirmation that the order is right.

Solving the pillar itself does not hand you an event reward. The Lost Magic Page it drops feeds back into Release the Curse Haunted Key Puzzle #6, which is where the actual prize is waiting once you finish it.
