D&D Cleric Puzzle: Holy Symbols

  • Type: Logic puzzle
  • Location: A temple
  • Difficulty: Medium

Background:

The players are exploring an ancient temple dedicated to a powerful deity. As they make their way through the temple, they come across a series of locked doors, each with a strange symbol etched into the stone above it.

The Puzzle:

As the players try to figure out how to open the doors, they notice that each symbol corresponds to a different holy symbol associated with an aspect of the deity worshipped in the temple. The players must figure out which holy symbol goes with which door in order to progress through the temple. The holy symbols that the players have at their disposal are:

  1. A silver leaf
  2. A golden sun
  3. A white dove
  4. A blue water droplet
  5. A green tree

Solution:

To solve the puzzle, the players must use their knowledge of the deity and their holy symbols to match each symbol to the corresponding door. They may need to consult with a cleric or do some research to figure out the correct associations.

For example, if the symbol above the first door is a silver leaf, the players would use the silver leaf holy symbol to unlock it. Once they have figured out the correct combinations for all of the doors, they can use their holy symbols to unlock them and continue on their journey through the temple.
