"The newly opened passage leads to the third zone of Fort Bulwark, which the conjurers have never been able to reach. As a result, this zone has no enemies in it. The main room features another puzzle. Your journal 'helpfully' tells you "I've found some sort of puzzle or trap deep inside Fort Bulwark. I'll need to figure out what it means in order to acquire the Shield of the Crusader". In other words, no clues this time around.
Exploring the room reveals eight stone guardian statues around the perimeter of the room, each of which can be activated (does nothing); in front of each one is a large, empty, stone chest. In the middle of the room is a ninth chest, with a pressure plate in front of it. When you stand on the pressure plate, you will notice one of the eight statues light up, and an item appears, hovering in mid-air in front of it. But if you run to try to grab the item, it cannot be taken and quickly disappears. The final piece of the mystery is that in the ninth chest you will find a single item. If you take the item and randomly place it in another chest, it disappears... and a new item appears in the central chest.
If you do this enough times, you will notice that each of the statues has a different item that appears in front of it. You will also notice that the same eight items appear in the central chest. To solve the puzzle, you need to take the items from the central chest one by one and place them in the correct chest, i.e., the one where that item appears. When you place an item in the correct chest, the statue turns around so it is facing the center of the room.
The items that belong in each chest, starting from the door you entered, and going clockwise (or sometimes counterclockwise) around the room, are:
* Rodgar's Book
* Rodgar's Hammer
* Rodgar's Skull
* Rodgar's Gem
* Rodgar's Stone
* Rodgar's Helm
* Rodgar's Goblet
* Rodgar's Sword
