How To Light A Fire In The Proper Order In Beast Of Reincarnation is one of the most searched puzzles in the game right now. The answer is simple once you know it — but the in-game clue from the Rusted Golem and the nearby document both give you the same vague hint without telling you the actual sequence. This guide gives you the exact order and walks you through what to do after the fires are lit.
- This puzzle is part of the Origin of the Ringing main quest.
- The correct order to light the pyres is: Sun → Earth → Moon.
- If you get the order wrong, the pyres go out and you have to try again.
- After lighting all three correctly, you need to reach and strike the bell.
- Striking the bell opens the path to fight the Nushi.
What Is The Proper Order To Light A Fire In Beast Of Reincarnation?
The proper order to light a fire in Beast of Reincarnation is Sun first, Earth second, Moon third. Approach each pyre and interact with them in that exact sequence. When done correctly, each pyre stays lit and a short clip of the bell plays to confirm the puzzle is solved. If you light them in the wrong order, all the pyres go out and you start over — there is no penalty, just try again.
Where Is The Fire Puzzle In Beast Of Reincarnation?
The fire puzzle is found inside the Belfry during the Origin of the Ringing main quest. You reach this area naturally by following the main quest marker. Starting from the Belfry Entrance campsite, cross to the other side and defeat the golem blocking the entrance. Head inside and use the lift to go down. At the bottom, you will find the Rusted Golem standing near the three pyres.
The Rusted Golem tells you to light the pyres in the correct order. On a nearby bench, there is also a document that reads:
“Light the pyres of the Sun, Moon, and Earth. Let your mind dwell on the universe. Which star gave rise to you? Light the celestial bodies in the order they were born.”
The document is essentially the same hint the Rusted Golem gives you — light them in the order of their birth. The Sun came first, the Earth formed from the same matter, and the Moon came after Earth. So the answer is Sun, Earth, Moon.
How To Light The Pyres In The Correct Order
Here is the exact step-by-step process to solve the fire puzzle:
- Head down the lift inside the Belfry after defeating the entrance golem.
- Speak with the Rusted Golem to trigger the puzzle objective.
- Read the document on the nearby bench if you want to see the in-game clue.
- Approach the Sun pyre and interact with it to light it. A short cutscene plays.
- Approach the Earth pyre next and interact with it. Another cutscene plays.
- Finally, approach the Moon pyre and interact with it.
- All three pyres stay lit and a short clip of the bell confirms the puzzle is complete.
If the pyres go out after your attempt, you got the order wrong. Just approach them again and repeat the sequence — Sun, Earth, Moon — starting fresh.
How To Strike The Bell After Lighting The Fires
Once the three pyres are lit correctly, the next objective is to reach the bell and strike it. The bell is not directly accessible from where the pyres are — you need to climb to get there.
- Face the bell and the fire puzzle area. You will see a tall hut on the right side of the belfry.
- Climb to the top of the hut.
- Use Emma’s Hair abilities — hold the jump button — to reach the higher platform above.
- A couple of golems are waiting up top. Defeat them quickly.
- Activate the campsite nearby once the golems are down.
- From here, you can explore a bit to unlock a shortcut and grab extra materials, or go straight to the bell.
- Interact with the bell to strike it. This opens the path to fight the Nushi and advances the quest.
What Happens After You Strike The Bell?
Striking the bell is the final step of the Origin of the Ringing quest. It opens the path forward to the Nushi boss fight, which is the major story encounter tied to this chapter. The bell essentially acts as the gate — it does not trigger the fight immediately, but it removes the barrier so you can head into the Nushi’s territory whenever you are ready.
Before walking into the boss arena, it is worth taking a moment to upgrade your equipment at the Cleanse Walker and make sure your Blade Arts and Koo’s Bloom Arts are in good shape. Once you head in, the fight begins.
Why The Fire Clue Is Confusing
The clue says to light the celestial bodies in the order they were born. Most players expect the game to present some kind of visual symbol or numbering system near the pyres. It does not. The three pyres are simply labelled Sun, Earth, and Moon — there is no visual cue for which comes first. The answer relies entirely on real-world knowledge about the formation of the solar system: the Sun formed first, Earth formed next, and the Moon formed afterward from material thrown off during an impact with Earth. That logic gives you Sun → Earth → Moon, which is the correct sequence.
If you failed a few times by trying Moon first or Earth first, that is exactly what most players do. The puzzle is intentionally cryptic about sequencing while being clear about the objects involved.
