It would be best to align the light beams with the right glyph panels to unlock the three gate locks.

Each lock matches a different pattern on the column, and unlocking all three lets you move to the next area.

The puzzle begins with a lone light brightening the space. Position the light beam to illuminate the top-right glyph panel on the gate.

This will unlock a side room to the right. Enter this room to find a mirror at the far end.

Move the mirror to bounce the light back into the main room, making a second beam.

Now that you have two beams head back to the center and line them up to light up the top-left and middle-right glyphs.

You can now go into the side room on the left. Go to the left room and take the Brass Mirror from the far side.

Once you have it, return to the main chamber and go to the far-right room with the pedestal.

Place the Brass Mirror on the pedestal and tweak it to send a third light beam toward the main gate.

Now that the three beams are unlocked, you can solve the locks. Each lock on the Three-Eyed Gate needs specific glyph panels to light up.

Point the light beams at the top-left, middle-right, and bottom-left glyphs for the top lock.

Adjust the beams to highlight the top-right, middle-left, and bottom-left glyphs on the middle lock.

For the last part of the bottom lock, line up the light beams with the middle-left, middle-right, and bottom-right glyphs.

Make slight adjustments to the mirrors to ensure the light beams land on the correct panels for each lock.

Once the three locks line up, the Three-Eyed Gate opens, and you can move on to the next part of the quest.

However, the journey does not end here. Don’t let your guard down; this ancient place has more to throw at you.
