To progress the Lost Runes quest in Diablo Immortal, players start by solving the lamp puzzle. This guide explains each step to complete the task, locate the runes, and crack the riddles along the way.
Before Zoltun Kulle’s library appears, most story and combat missions focus on battling foes. In this segment, players must locate all nine lamps and decipher the mirror puzzle to advance.
How to light all nine lamps in the Lost Runes quest and obtain the first rune
During the Restoring Order quest, the hero reaches the statue and the curator within Zoltun Kulle’s library. From that moment, the Lost Runes quest unfolds. To complete it, the player must find three runes and place them at the statue’s base.
The first artifact sits northwest of the Grand Vestibule Waypoint. When the rune is attempted, a puzzle activates. Lighting one lamp triggers four fireballs that appear around it and influence nearby lights, turning them on or off depending on their current state. The nine lamps can be lit and the first rune earned by following this sequence:
- Left extreme.
- Upper extreme.
- Right extreme.
- Lower extreme.
- Central.
Refer to the provided screenshot for the correct order. After activating these lamps, the hero receives a rune and places it beneath the statue, then continues the search for the second artifact.
How to obtain the second rune
Once the lamp puzzle is solved and the rune is returned to the player, a short walk reveals the next item. The next objective is to defeat Grimaldi the Flaming Soul to claim the second artifact. Place it into the statue after the boss falls.
How to solve the mirror puzzle in the Lost Runes quest and find the third rune
The final rune lies on a map that points toward a peculiar mirror east of the Curator. Enter the mirror to find a small chamber filled with mirrors and a single beam of light. A message appears, indicating a riddle must be solved. The following steps unlock the third rune:
- Approach the mirror directly beneath the rune and click it once. A light beam must strike this mirror.
- Move to the glass in the far left corner and double-click it. The beam should reflect off this surface as well.
- Go to the nearby mirror and push it left twice. Enemies will emerge.
- Defeat all foes and claim the third rune.
After collecting the third rune, return to the statue beside the Curator and insert the final item into its base. This completes the Lost Runes quest, allowing further exploration of Zoltun Kulle’s library and continuation of other story missions.
