Let‘s crack this temple wide open!
Overview of the Complex Shadow Mechanism
The Cathedral‘s main chamber holds a giant stone mechanism consisting of three independently rotating discs etched with mysterious symbols. Manipulating three nearby levers rotates these discs to create different shadow formations across the wall behind the apparatus.
Your goal is to open the chamber‘s two sealed doors by casting the proper shadows depicted above each doorway. Behind these portals lie epic rewards!
Consulting the Tome of the Ancients
To decipher the correct formations, consult the ancient Tome found inside the Cathedral‘s library. Its illuminated pages display the exact shapes and orientations necessary to unlock both doors.
Let‘s examine how to position the shadows to open the left door based on the intricate clues inside this archaic manuscript.

Battling the Corrupted Custodian
Having proven your perception, you must now demonstrate resilience against the Cathedral‘s spectral guardian – the Corrupted Custodian! This colossal energy-wrapped sentinel packs quite a wallop if you let it get close.
To dominate this fight I recommend equipping mods and weapons maximizing range and damage over time effects. My preferred loadout includes…
Utilize the interior walkways to kite the Custodian while pelting it with your best AoE and sniper skills. Avoid its charged slam shockwaves at all costs! With some fancy footwork and a few well-placed headshots, the guardian will crumble.
Now claim your rewards! Beyond the etched doorway lies…

Preparing to Plumb the Stygian Depths
Now that you‘ve unlocked access, it‘s time to delve into the unknown dangers lurking deep beneath the Cathedral in its ancient catacomb network!
Only the most seasoned and well-equipped players can hope to survive these black depths filled with complex terrain and demonic inhabitants.
Based on hundreds of hours exploring Remnant 2‘s dankest dungeons, I recommend outfitting your character with gear and mods providing ample defense, mobility, and damage mitigation before descending. Ideal setups include…
Be sure to pack long range AND short range weaponry to adapt to threats at any distance. Also bring plenty of health consumables – you‘ll need them!

Braving the Desecrated Vault
At the bottom of the worn staircase sits an imposing stone doorway decorated with a large triangle carving – the universal sign for danger throughout Remnant‘s ruins.
Stepping through transports you onto a narrow bridge suspended over a yawning cavity veined with vile fuschia corruption. Your goal – ascend the massive stepped pyramid squatting at the end of the walkway.
First priority is clearing the two circular altars flanking your path. Disruptor mods help massively here…
Leapfrogging forward, unleash your most potent AoE and sniper shots to bombard hostiles pouring from the sacrificial pit at the pyramid‘s apex. Hold this elevated position to devastate all manner of warped creatures rising to meet your challenge.
Defeating the dark champion seals away untold horrors and completes the vault run, rewarding you with the ultimate bragging rights!
