How to solve the rotating water room puzzle - Doom The Dark Ages - The Kar'Thul Marshes Chapter 2025
The key to the puzzle is the manipulation of the room’s rotation with the shield. Begin by hitting the button using the shield to shift water to the right end (rotate the room until it shifts). It will spin the entire chamber. The goal here is to align water to the specific positions for accessing the hidden platforms.
Next, swim up through the water and then land on the highest platform. Next, jump on the central platform— the main control point. Your timing is crucial here. So, throw the shield again to reposition the water overhead and to reveal the L-shaped ledge that’s present below.The jump to the ledge will uncover Life Sigil, the crucial reward for survivability. Then, return to the central platform and rotate the room again to open the hatch using the green grapple point. Use the shield to latch onto it. Pull yourself towards the gold stash. The portal will then return you to the main area, and it will complete the puzzle. Your precise shield throw and patience are important keys here. Misalignment and hesitation can reset your progress. Try to avoid it.

Exploration beyond puzzle

While the Rotating Water Room is the highlight, The Kar’Thul Marshes just brim with secrets. After you exit the chamber, scour the entire area for Doom The Dark Ages collectibles, like the Wolf Statues, that tie into the broad in-game achievements. Also, the statues perfectly blend into the environment. Make sure to inspect all shadowy corners or the elevated platforms. Also, watch for some visual cues, like the unusual markings or the cracked walls that hint towards the hidden paths or the loot.The Karthul Marshes even feature eldritch-inspired puzzles that need some lateral thinking. For example, some of the mechanics might demand you to combine the combat moves with environmental interactions, like the use of explosive barrels for the destruction of barriers. Make sure to remain observant, as the ambient sounds or the shifting lights could guide you to some of the overlooked areas. With your balanced aggression and exploration, you will uncover all the secrets the haunting zone offers.
