During Hunter's exploration of the Abbey in Marvel's Midnight Suns, players will eventually stumble across the Standing Stones, a set of pointed stones arranged in a circle that holds a secret. In order to uncover the secrets and solve the mystery, players are going to need to explore most of the Abbey and acquire the Words of Power.
Marvel's Midnight Suns has a vast hub area to explore and investigate, which offers players plenty of bonus items and useful resources if they choose to uncover its myriad mysteries. The Standing Stones on the eastern edge of the Abbey map are one such mystery, initially seeming impossible to solve due to a lack of clues.
The Standing Stones Puzzle Guide
Uncovering the Symbols
In order to solve the Standing Stones puzzle, players will first need to open the second Blood Gate and acquire the Word of Power "Reveal." After this has been done, players can stand on the symbol of Atum in the middle of the Standing Stones and use the Word of Power to cause symbols to appear on each of the five Standing Stones.
The First Sequence
Now that the symbols are revealed, players are able to enter codes into the Standing Stones by interacting with Symbols in the correct order.
Of course, the difficulty here is knowing which sequences of symbols will uncover the secrets of the Standing Stones, but luckily we've already been right next to one of the codes. In the Barracks Chapel, where the Fire Rod was found earlier on, players can find a sequence of Symbols in a frame on the wall.
This is the first of the Symbol Sequences for the Standing Stones, and when entered, it will cause a Legendary Arcane Chest to appear nearby.
At the time of writing, there is a known bug where one of the Symbol Sequences will contain two of the same Symbol, which causes that sequence to become impossible to enter and renders it impossible to fully solve this puzzle. There is no known fix at the time of writing.
The Second Sequence
The second code for the Standing Stones can be found by visiting Agatha's House in the northern part of the Abbey. The code here can be found above the Fireplace, and entering it at the Standing Stones will cause a second Legendary Arcane Chest to appear.
The Third Sequence
The final code for the Standing Stones is found in a rather spoilery location, so readers should be warned.
This final code is found in Lilith's Garden after using Power Word "Break" to destroy a wall and access a secret shrine. The code is hidden behind a breakable wall at the back of the Shrine area.
Enter this code at the Standing Stones to acquire the third Legendary Arcane Chest and complete the Standing Stones Mystery.
Marvel's Midnight Suns is available now for PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S; it's coming soon to PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.
