The Elden Ring Heretic Rise puzzle game is bound to surprise you with the many obstacles you, the player, will need to overcome to reach the various inaccessible areas in the middle of the land. As soon as you try to enter the Heretic Rise you will find that the entrance is sealed. A message will inform you that "falling snow is a symbol of something unseen", and as you may have guessed, this is the answer to the riddle. But what does this mean, and how can one enter into the heretical rise? You'll have to stick with us until the end to find the solution to the Heretical Rise puzzle in Elden Ring.
Elden Ring Falling Snow Marks Something Unseen Heretical Rise Puzzle Solution
The solution to this is not very difficult, but you have to do the execution properly. First, you need to spawn in the Freezing Lake Site of Grace if you want to break the seal on the Heretical Rise entrance. From there, head southwest along the cliffs until you reach an arch-shaped ruin. Check the images below for directions to the ruins. You can also see the appearance of the ruins in the second screenshot.
As you reach the arch, climb over it and you will see the remains of what was once a bridge leading to the heretic rise across the gorge towards the Heretical Rise. Reach the edge of the ravine where the collapsed bridge once stood. Now, don’t be afraid and step forward. You won’t fall down, instead, you’ll stride across the invisible viaduct. That bridge is a solution to the “Falling Snow Marks Something Unseen” message and the Heretical Rise puzzle.
Now we reach that stage which comes in the difficult part. You need to tread lightly and watch your step. A wrong move will end up in your untimely death. The invisible path goes straight for around two-thirds and then turns left and up to reach the balcony with a broken railing. That’s our entry point to the Heretical Rise. There are a couple of strategies how to check if there is a path or not. Some players use sorceries, like Swift Glintstone Shard, to check the path in front of them. You can also drop items like Rainbow Stones to check if they will fall or float (indicating that you can step there). Finally, the good old bow and arrows will also do the trick. If they bounce off the air, that means that there is a path there.
One thing that you should keep in mind is that when you step on the balcony, the front door seal will immediately fall. So you don’t need to use the invisible path anymore, you can leave the tower normally. Inside the tower, you’ll have to beat a couple of enemies and grab some loot, including the Founding Rain of Stars at the top.
