Hell Is Us: Martial Lineage Mystery Guide
As players explore the world in Hell Is Us, they’ll come across tons of mysteries to uncover. Unlike Good Deeds, which is the game’s version of side quests, mysteries are usually puzzles that involve finding hidden items or notes to figure out a solution.
Some mysteries can be extremely complicated, as there are times when the clue leading to the solution isn’t nearby. Sometimes the answer to a mystery can be across the map. One good example of this is the Martial Lineage mystery.
The Martial Lineage is a quick, but tricky, puzzle to complete. You just need to know where to look. This guide explains how to complete the Martial Lineage mystery in Hell Is Us.
How to Find the Martial Lineage Mystery
Players can find the Martial Lineage mystery in the Acasa Marshes region. It’s located northeast of Jova and south of the tunnel leading to the ON crash site. You’ll know you’re in the right area when you see a large stone structure on a hill, as the Martial Lineage mystery can be found right below it.
When you approach the Martial Lineage mystery, you’ll notice a locked stone door and four crystal-like poles in the surrounding area. To solve this mystery, we need to strike the poles in the correct order to open the door.
How to Complete the Martial Lineage Mystery
The solution to the Martial Lineage mystery isn’t found anywhere near the puzzle; instead, it is found at the blacksmith shop in Jova. Inside the blacksmith’s quarters, players can find the “Note – Training Ground” item written by Vitalis. This note has everything you need to know to solve the Martial Lineage mystery.
In the note, Vitalis mentions that there is an inveterate training facility used by generations of Vigils in Acasa Marshes. While not initially clear, Vitalis is referring to the Martial Lineage mystery.
The note then ends with the words “counter-clockwise from the north-east.” This hints at the correct way to strike the poles at the Martial Lineage.
To solve the Martial Lineage mystery, take out your compass and face the pole that is directly to the northeast. Strike the northeast pole with your sword, and then strike the following poles in a counter-clockwise formation. After hitting the final pole, the door will open, and you’ll have solved the Martial Lineage mystery.
