The Vault of Vengeance can be a confusing puzzle if you don't use the right equipment and skills. Most of the Vault of Vengeance puzzle requires focused shooting with a bow and arrowas opposed to the usual mechanics of Axiom Force and Force Palm.

Below you'll find a full puzzle walkthrough of the Vault of Vengeance to ensure you don't get stuck and get too frustrated as you make your way through the Abyss to collect Abyss Artifacts to level up, while enjoying the journey towards the Lightning Imbuement.

Spire of Stars requires you to solve the puzzle with four symbols. Here is the solution so you can go to the top of the Spire of the Stars.

Before we begin, you must have Focused Shot. This is a skill that requires Marksmanship Lv 2 and Focus Lv 2, and is crucial for later stages of this puzzle.

The entrance to the puzzle is blocked. You need to open the door by placing Power Cores on the stone cubes.
The Power Cores are to the left and right of the stone cubesand can be retrieved with Axiom Force. Once placed next to the stone cubes, they will activate and the door will open.
Enter the room to find two yellow panels to the left and right of the locked door.

Hold L2 and release L2 to fire an arrow. You need fire an arrow at each yellow node in rapid succession. This is possible without Focused Shot, but it makes it easier.
When both panels are blue, go between them and use Nature's Grip (Circle+Triangle/B+Y) to open the door.

Inside, you'll see a bunch of blue lasers, but they can be ignored.
On the walls are four pillars, each with a yellow node. We've highlighted them in the image above to make them more visible. You have to shoot all four nodes at the same time.
Hold L2 then L3+R3 to activate Focused Shot. Aim at all the nodes and press R1 to mark them red as a target.
Select all four yellow nodes, then release the buttons to fire all four arrows in rapid succession to activate them, turning them blue and turning off the lasers.
Go to the center of the room and pick up the golden sword (it's not that good, so feel free to sell it for Silver coins).

The platform holding the golden sword opensand you can now jump down to a lower area.
Below you will find laser traps blocking your path. You can wait for the lasers to go into a shape where you can safely pass through, or you can be impatient (like we were) and just roll through the lasers and tank the damage.
At the end of the room you'll find a battery that can be inserted into its missing slot with Axiom Force and Force Palm.
Stand on the now activated teleporter and you will spawn in front of the final puzzle piece.

Move the battery to its slot on the wall, then hit the now glowing wall panel with the Force Palm to complete the puzzle.

You can now climb the wall to find an Abyss Artifact and an Abyss Gate, which will lead you towards the Courtyard of Precision, which we also have a guide on!
