The Sinking City 2 Guide | How to solve Church Trident Obelisk Puzzle

To solve the Church Trident Obelisk Puzzle in The Sinking City 2, place the Trident on the Obelisk and arrange the four symbols from top to bottom as Serpent Form, Crooked Cross, Rhombic Spearhead, and Splayed Womb.

Then let the Trident be struck by lightning three times before taking it back to the Church.

How to Find the Trident

The Church Trident Obelisk Puzzle takes place during Chapter 2: The Wake-Up Call, in the area surrounding the Redemption Church.

Before you can solve the puzzle, you need to obtain the Star Key. After getting the key, return to the Church and climb the ladder to the upper floor. Use the Star Key to unlock the door and enter the small room containing the Trident.

Pick up the Trident and take it outside. The Obelisk is located in the Church graveyard, close to the Church entrance. Place the Trident on top of the Obelisk to activate the puzzle.

How to Find the Obelisk Puzzle Clues

The solution to the Church Trident Obelisk Puzzle can be determined from three pieces of evidence: A Call Upon Believers, Notes on the Path, and The First Vision.

The A Call Upon Believers note provides the order of the figures, while The First Vision identifies the symbols associated with them. You can connect the clues through the Investigation menu to work out the correct combination.

If you want to skip directly to the solution, the symbols need to be arranged in the following order.

Church Trident Obelisk Puzzle Solution

Rotate each section of the Obelisk until the symbols match this order from top to bottom:

• Serpent Form - Yig
• Crooked Cross - Tsog-Nar
• Rhombic Spearhead - Gyrh
• Splayed Womb - Cthylla

The clues describe the order from the depths to the heights, which means the bottom-to-top order is Splayed Womb, Rhombic Spearhead, Crooked Cross, and Serpent Form.

Once all four symbols are correctly aligned, validate your selection.

How to Charge the Trident

After solving the Obelisk Puzzle, do not immediately grab the Trident. The Obelisk will begin attracting lightning, and you need to let the Trident be struck three times.

Move away from the Obelisk to avoid the lightning strikes. Each successful strike charges one of the Trident's points. Once all three points have been charged, the Trident is ready to be collected.

After the third lightning strike, collect the charged Trident and return it to the room where you originally found it inside the Church.

What to Do After the Trident Puzzle

Return the charged Trident to its original stand on the upper floor of the Church. This triggers the next part of the Church sequence and transports you to another area.

Continue toward the altar and pick up the Dagger along the way. Place the Dagger into the altar to open the way to the basement, where you'll face a small boss encounter. Completing this sequence rewards you with two pieces of Dream Essence.
