Dimhaven Mask Shrine Puzzle Solution

Quick Answer

To solve the Dimhaven Mask Shrine puzzle, use The Dreamer clue: the Dreamer faces the Moon, Earth is on his right, and the Sun is on his left. The long mask is Earth, the shorter mask is Sun, and the final setup should create the eclipse state where the Moon swallows the Sun. Once the Moon/light is aligned, press the Moon button to open the arch.

This guide covers the late Mask Shrine puzzle in Dimhaven - The Lost Source. Some players may call it the Mask Wall puzzle, but the puzzle itself is built around strange masks, shrine stones, The Dreamer note, an eye symbol, and a Moon button.

I do not use fixed numbered positions in this guide because camera angle can make the shrine layout hard to read. The safer solve is to follow the relationship in the clue: Dreamer → Moon → Earth / Sun → eclipse → press Moon.

Exact answer at a glance

Get the strange mask first

Before the final shrine solve, I need the strange mask route. If I reach the shrine and nothing seems to respond correctly, I check whether this earlier mask step is already done.

Solve the eye alignment step

The shrine route also uses an eye clue before the final Dreamer solve. I use the notes and symbols around the area to line up the eye-related order, then confirm the eye alignment before moving on.

The eye alignment is solved when the shrine-side symbols line up and the route allows me to continue toward the Dreamer / mask section.

Read The Dreamer clue

The Dreamer note gives the real rule for the shrine:

• The Dreamer stood tall, facing the Moon.
• To his right, Earth.
• To his left, the Sun.
• Sixteen more years he shall wait.
• Come morning, the Moon swallows the Sun.
• Eclipse.
• Find the end and press the Moon.
• The eye opens and we see what it sees.

The most important part is perspective. I read right and left from the Dreamer’s point of view, not from whatever angle my camera happens to face.

Identify the Sun and Earth masks

The two important masks are:

• Earth — the long mask
• Sun — the shorter mask

I keep these identities separate from the earlier strange mask / eye step. The strange mask route gets me to the shrine logic; the Sun and Earth masks solve the final Dreamer clue.

Use the shrine floor and Moon button

At the shrine, the floor layout and Moon button show that this is not a normal wall-code puzzle. The masks move around a shrine layout, and the Moon/light is part of the final state.

The note says to “find the end and press the Moon.” I use that as the final action only after the Sun and Earth relationship is set.

Set the eclipse state

The final shrine setup should match the Dreamer clue and the eclipse line:

• Earth and Sun must be placed as opposite-side bodies in the shrine relationship.
• The Moon/light must align between them for the eclipse state.
• The setup should visually match the idea that the Moon swallows the Sun.
• After that, I press the Moon button.

I avoid relying on a position number alone because the seven-point layout is easy to misread from a cropped camera angle. The visual check is more reliable: Earth and Sun are set into the Dreamer relationship, the Moon/light creates the eclipse alignment, then the Moon button is pressed.

Press the Moon and open the arch

When the shrine is correct, pressing the Moon opens the arch.

Once the arch is open, I stop moving the masks and follow the new route forward.

What to do after the Mask Shrine

After the arch opens, the route leads toward the remote operation / cargo cable section.

This is my confirmation that the shrine puzzle is fully solved. If I am still locked in the shrine room, I go back to the final placement and check the Moon button again.

Common mistakes

The mistakes I check first are:

• treating the Steam / release-style eclipse phrase as separate from the in-game Dreamer note;
• reading Earth and Sun from my own camera angle instead of the Dreamer’s perspective;
• mixing up the long Earth mask and the shorter Sun mask;
• pressing the Moon button before the eclipse state is set;
• looking for a keypad-style answer instead of using the shrine relationship;
• skipping the earlier eye alignment / strange mask step;
• relying on a fixed position number from a different camera angle;
• moving the masks again after the arch has opened.

When to move on

I move on after the arch opens.

At that point, the Mask Shrine is done. I leave the shrine setup alone and continue toward the remote operation / cargo cable route.
