Set the Observatory’s three dials to 4-1-4, in that order. The puzzle is at Alexandra Monastery in Golden Ridge; its clues refer to the courtyard orrery.
Where to find the puzzle
Look for the Observatory at Alexandra Monastery in Golden Ridge. The dial apparatus is on the upper level, near the observatory entrance. Read the Order Initiate Scavenger Hunt note there for the three prompts, then use the courtyard orrery as the visual reference for the planetary system. GameSpot’s location walkthrough and PC Gamer’s orrery explanation cover the puzzle’s placement and reference.

What the three clues mean
- Moons orbiting Elysium: Set the first dial to 4.
- Moons between Dorado and Elysium: Set the second dial to 1.
- Eden’s orbits: Set the third dial to 4, because Eden completes four orbits before Praetor and Cloister finish one rotation.
The clue order is the dial order, so enter 4, then 1, then 4. That is the code 414.

Turn the dials to 4-1-4. The nearby hidden door or compartment opens, revealing Bits and a collectible card. Published walkthroughs disagree on the Bits total, so the exact amount is not consistent across reports. They also use different names for the card: Pitchball Card, Tossball Card, or Baseball Card. Game8 and GamesRadar identify it as a Feargus Urquhart card with a +1% damage bonus; see Game8’s puzzle guide and GamesRadar’s answer guide for those descriptions.
#1 Best Overall
If the dials do not open the compartment, check that you entered the digits in the correct order. PC Gamer reports that an incorrect combination can be reset and retried.
