Navigating Ornn’s Hearth Home: A Gameplay Walkthrough
Playing the Spirit of the Hearth Home mini-game is intuitive and enjoyable. Your main objective is to explore Ornn’s forge and tidy up by interacting with objects scattered around. To identify interactive elements, simply hover your mouse cursor around each scene. When you find something you can interact with, a subtle blue flame will emanate from it, signaling its interactability. If you’re having trouble spotting these, lingering in a scene will eventually cause a faint blue glow to appear over interactable objects, giving you a helpful hint.
The Hearth Home is divided into five distinct rooms, each with its own charm and puzzles:
- Main Hall: This is your starting point and serves as the central hub. From here, you can venture to the Library on the right or the Courtyard on the left.
- Library: The Library is home to both the Bookshelf Puzzles and the melodic Music Puzzle.
- Courtyard: The Courtyard provides access to the Workshop and the Smelter.
- Workshop: Here, you’ll encounter the Workshop Puzzle, also known as the Tools Puzzle.
- Smelter: The Smelter is where you’ll face the Smelter Puzzle, or the Ore Puzzle.
Puzzle Solutions: Step-by-Step Guides to Conquer Each Challenge
To fully enjoy the Spirit of the Hearth Home event and earn all the rewards, you’ll need to solve a series of engaging puzzles in each room. Here’s a detailed breakdown of each puzzle and their solutions:
Smelter Puzzle Solution: Order the Ores
The Smelter Puzzle requires you to locate five scattered pieces of ore within Ornn’s Hearth Home and bring them back to the Smelter. Once collected, you must determine the correct order of these ores from lightest to heaviest. By carefully weighing them against each other, you can deduce the right sequence. For those seeking a quick solution, the correct order is displayed below:
Molten Copper > Star-Metal > Shuriman Gold > Silversteel > Dread Iron > Freljordian Frost Ore
Two ore pieces are conveniently located within the Smelter room itself: Freljordian Frost Ore is nestled in the coal pile on the right side, and Star-Metal is hidden behind a grate in the top left corner. Molten Copper can be found in the Courtyard furnace, while Dread Iron is concealed under a pile of scrolls in the Workshop.
Workshop Puzzle Solution: Place the Tools Correctly
In the Workshop, you’ll find an outline for Ornn’s tools, but most of them are missing. Your task is to find all nine scattered tools throughout the Hearth Home and return them to their rightful place. Each tool slot is uniquely shaped, providing a visual clue to help you match the tool to its designated spot. Refer to the image below for the complete solution to the Workshop Puzzle:
Within the Workshop, one tool is tucked away in the left corner, and another rests on a small table. Venture into the Courtyard to find a tool hidden under a patch of snow. In the Smelter, you’ll discover a tool in the bottom right corner and another concealed beneath some papers. The final two tools are located in the Main Hall and the Library – the Library tool is cleverly hidden inside a box under the Ornn bookshelf.
Bookshelf Puzzles Solution: Organize the Lore
The Bookshelf Puzzles might require a bit more time and attention. You’ll need to locate a number of books scattered around the Hearth Home and then arrange them correctly on three distinct bookshelves in the Library. Each bookshelf is dedicated to the lore of a specific Freljordian figure: Ornn, Volibear, and Lissandra.
A helpful visual cue is the color of the books in your inventory. Red books belong to Ornn, turquoise-gold books are for Volibear, and blue books are associated with Lissandra.
Ornn Bookshelf Guide
The Ornn bookshelf is the first one on your left as you enter the Library. Begin by removing any Volibear and Lissandra books that might be misplaced on this shelf. You’ll need to find four additional Ornn books. One is in the Main Hall, another is on the Library floor, and two more can be found on the other bookshelves in the Library. Once you have all eight Ornn books, arrange them in the order shown below:
Volibear Bookshelf Guide
After clearing the Volibear bookshelf of any misplaced books, you’ll need to find the missing Volibear books. Look behind the footstool in the Library, on the shelf in the Courtyard, and on the Ornn and Lissandra bookshelves in the Library. With all eight Volibear books in hand, arrange them according to the image below:
Lissandra Bookshelf Guide
Finally, for the Lissandra bookshelf, you’ll need to locate the remaining Lissandra books. One is on the chair in the Library, hidden under a red blanket, and another in the bottom left corner of the Library. One more is in the Workshop, above the fireplace. Two can also be found on the Ornn’s and Volibear’s shelves, which you might already have collected. Once you’ve gathered all eight Lissandra books, arrange them in the following order:
Music Puzzle Solution: Play the Freljordian Themes
With Ornn’s forge now neat and tidy, the last step in this mini-event is the Music Puzzle. Return to the Library and interact with the instrument located in the center of the room.
The musical notes you need are subtly inscribed on the spines of the books on each character’s bookshelf. By referencing the bookshelf solution images above, you can identify the correct sequence of symbols and input them on the instrument to play the themes of Ornn, Volibear, and Lissandra. For an even quicker method, you can use your keyboard! The notes correspond to numbers 1 through 9 on your keyboard, allowing you to simply type in the correct number sequences:
- Ornn: 2625234
- Volibear: 6542321
- Lissandra: 26543252
Once you’ve successfully played all three themes, the Hestrelk icon is yours, marking the final reward from the Spirit of the Hearth Home event. Feel free to continue exploring Ornn’s home, reread the comics, or enjoy the music in the library even after completing all the puzzles!
