Marvel’s Midnight Suns – Elemental Rod Locations

Four Elemental Rods are scattered around The Abbey grounds in Marvel’s Midnight Suns, and you should retrieve them all and bring them to the Elemental Altar. By doing so, you will unleash their powers and get the second Moon Seal in return. This will lead you to the second Blood Gate and its challenge. Once completed, you will be able to unlock a new Word of Power, “Reveal,” which, as the name suggests, lets you discover hidden paths, items, and routes within The Abbey grounds.

Finding the four Elemental Rods might be tricky, as not all are easy to spot. For two of them, moreover, you need to use the Word of Power “Open” to get them. And you must guess the right spot for each at the Elemental Altar; otherwise, the second Moon Seal won’t appear. Don’t worry, however. This guide will show you all Elemental Rod locations in Marvel’s Midnight Suns and help you place them the right way at the altar.

Where to find the Elemental Rods in Marvel’s Midnight Suns

The game features four Elemental Rods: Fire, Water, Earth, and Air. Each is hidden at a different location, sometimes far from the altar. You can check where to find them below.

Fire Rod – The Chapel

The Fire Rod can be found inside The Abbey, at the Chapel. Go past the Barracks, and you will quickly notice it on its pedestal.

Water Rod – The Pool

The Water Rod is one of the easiest to find, as it is placed under the bridge at the small pool outside The Abbey. You will quickly notice it once you make your way to his area.

Air Rod – Whispering Wood

The Air Rod is placed on a stand near Whispering Wood. To reach it, go to Agatha’s altar and pass through the little arch on your right. Use the Word of Power “Open” to make your way through the closed door and discover a new path. Go down the trail and immediately turn left when you can do so. You will find the Air Rod shortly after, at the end of the route.

Earth Rod – Hunter’s Folly

The Earth Rod is located at The Hunter’s Folly, southeast of The Abbey. You should be able to fast travel to this location to reach it quickly. Once you arrive there, the door will be closed. However, you can use the Word of Power “Open” to access the location. The final Rod will be on your left.

Elemental Rods puzzle solution

Once you have collected all the Elemental Rods, you should bring them to the Elemental Altar and place them in the right spot. Go to Agatha’s Altar to do that, and remember that you can always fast-travel to this location on the map.

Each Rod must be placed on its respective pedestal. You can try that yourself how many times you prefer, as there is no consequence if you don’t guess the correct spot immediately. The game will tell you whether you have placed it right, and if you have missed it, you can always try again. However, if you are looking for the solution to the Elemental Rods puzzle at Agatha’s Altar, here’s the proper order.

From left to right, you need to place respectively: Water, Air, Earth, and Fire. Once done, you will obtain the second Moon Seal, which you can retrieve from the altar.

With the second Moon Seal in your inventory, you can head to the second Blood Altar north of Standing Stones and start the trial. When you complete it, you will obtain the second Word of Power, “Reveal.”
