Hidden doors, glowing symbols, and a maze of ancient traps stand between you and Fortnite’s mysterious treasures. Here’s how to solve the temple door puzzles and track down every flame without getting caught in the chaos.
Similar to vaults, these temple ruins have good loot behind their doors, but getting through the door can be somewhat of a challenge. As usual, make sure you clear out opponents before you solve these puzzles, as the last thing you’ll want is to open one of these doors and have an opponent eliminate you, taking your rewards.
Below we list out the different things the ruin doors ask of you and how to get them open.
How to solve the ‘find flames’ door puzzle
To solve the “find flames” door puzzle, explore the nearby temple area and look for flame symbols or lit braziers that match the ones shown near the sealed door. Each correct flame represents the right sequence to open it. Interact with the corresponding switches or torches in the same order as the symbols, and the door will open once all flames are aligned correctly. Keep an eye out for hidden clues around the walls, as they often hint at the proper arrangement.
To open this door, you will need to interact with nearby braziers (the torches), with some needing to be lit and unlit. Unfortunately, which braziers you need to light is randomized each game.
To figure out which braziers need to be lit/unlit, you’ll need to search the same ruins to find braziers in the same layout and copy how those are lit.
For example, if there are five braziers (one in each corner with one in the middle), you will need to find similarly placed braziers in the area. If the northwest and center brazier in this arrangement are lit but the others are not, you’ll have to mimic this in front of the door’s braziers.
Some ruins have the braziers on differing levels of elevation, like the temple north of the trailers in the center of the map. The middlemost brazier is on the ground floor, and the other four braziers are on platforms above.
Once all the correct braziers are lit, the door will automatically open. That said, you can just randomly try to solve the puzzle through trial and error without checking out the temple, but we recommend just keeping your eyes peeled before you head to these doors.
How to solve the ‘give item’ door puzzle
To solve the “give item” door puzzle, find the statue or altar near the sealed entrance that requests a specific object. Check nearby chests, enemies, or rooms for the matching item – it’s usually something like a relic, gem, or weapon. Once you collect it, approach the statue and interact to offer the item. If done correctly, the door will open, allowing you to continue deeper into the temple.
One type of door will want a “worthy item.” You’ll need to pay attention to the notch in the center of the door and see what color smoke is coming out of it.
Depending on the color of the smoke, you’ll need to hand over an item that is the same rarity or higher. Blue smoke requires at least a rare item and purple smoke requires at least an epic item. (We personally have not seen the doors ask for gold legendary items, but we wouldn’t rule it out.)
Any item you give to the door, you actually do give it to the door, meaning you’ll lose it. Don’t pawn off your legendary drum shotgun all willy nilly. Once you hand over the item, the door will open.
How to solve the ‘seek statue’ door puzzle
After matching the flames correctly at the temple door, approach the next barrier prompting you to seek the statue. Two effigies flank the entrance; interact with the one on the left when facing the door, as players report consistent success there across attempts. Choosing incorrectly triggers a rift that launches you skyward above the temple, requiring a quick return to try the opposite statue. Success opens the path to the treasure vault.
Another type of door will say “seek statue.” There will be huge nearby statues that look like this:
Interacting with the correct one will just immediately open the door. Interacting with the wrong one will suck you into a rift and drop you from the sky, which can be useful if you’re making a getaway.
