As you make your way through the tactical turn-based RPG King Arthur: Legion IX you’ll encounter a series of puzzles, some intertwined with combat. If you’ve reached the Crypt of the Three Sisters in The Tombs quest, read on to discover how to kill the banshees.
King Arthur Legion IX – How to solve the Banshees puzzle in The Tombs quest
The Crypt of the Three Sisters is the last mandatory battle in The Tombs quest. The battle takes place in the southwest corner of the area (see map above marking the three banshees) and begins with a cutscene.
During this three banshees will appear and say the following, which is shown a puzzle of any kind:
- The order is ordered and cannot be broken! (Lady Vespera, middle)
- Dawn must follow night! (Mrs. Nox, right)
- Night follows twilight! (Mrs. Auroa, left)
- Help us children of the night! (Mrs. Vespera)
At this point, 17 more enemies will appear in the room and the battle will begin. The three sisters will stay behind of the room and cast long-range single-target spells at you until defeated. The other mobs are all weak melee units so shouldn’t cause you much trouble. However, the three Banshees are a different matter.
Crypt of the Three Sisters puzzle solution
You must defeat all the units to complete the battle. However, the twist is that the three sisters must be killed in the correct order. If you reduce a sister to 0 health and it is not her turn to be defeated, she will simply return to maximum health. To work this out, consider this:
- evening is the evening star
- nox is the Roman goddess of the night
- Aurora means dawn in Latin
This makes the order you need to defeat them eveningso noxand finally Aurora. Approach them and defeat them in the right order and you’ll find them easy to take down, as they have no armor and don’t regenerate outside of the order mechanism.
Once done you can go north out of the room and either go west to complete The Tombs quest or head east to deal with the Cursed Chest in the final crypt. Don’t forget to open the chest you will find behind the tombs of the three sisters (which you can see in the picture at the top of this article) for some random equipment and gold.
