How to solve the Ancient Relic puzzle

After completing the game, you’ll be dropped off just outside the final area in Iraq. Turn right and you’ll find a big wall with four shapes that will take your relics.

Insert a relic and twist it left to activate all the prongs directly adjacent and diagonal from where you’ve placed it. If you instead twist it right, it will activate all the prongs in the column and row where you placed it.

Here is a breakdown of each puzzle and where you should place the relics to solve it. A white dot means you should turn the relic to the right, while a blue dot means you should turn it left.

The secret ending is a short cutscene but it fills in some important details from the finale. Behind the door is a mural that shows the ring of all 17 stones as Voss put them on the Arc with a painting in the middle of Antarctica. We then fade to a shot of the arc embedded in an iceberg in Antarctica, with footsteps in the snow implying that Locus survived.
