Use the Hell is Us: Solve the ‘Martial Lineage’ Mystery Guide to solve one of the mysteries in the Acasa Marshes, the second area of the game.

Hell is Us is third-person action-adventure game that aims to “return to the roots of adventure games” by getting players to rely on their instincts rather than way points and map markers. It’s ambitious and quite rewarding to make progress and discover stuff off the beaten path.

There’s a whole host of puzzles, mysteries and strange items to be found in the world of Hadea, where Hell is Us is set. Not to mention weird looking enemies too!

With that in mind, we’ve pulled together some guides which we hope are helpful. Please note that these won’t necessarily be step-by-step walkthroughs, but things to look out for to help solve the mystery.

Hell is Us: Solve the ‘Martial Lineage’ Mystery Guide

Throughout Hell is Us, you’ll encounter items that pertain to a ‘mystery’. These are described as “curious enigmas and ancient puzzles scattered throughout Hadea”. You can track these in your Datapad where you can see your inventory, general progress and other things.

The Martial Lineage Mystery can be found in the second main area, the Acasa Marshes. You’ll travel here using the APC after Senedra Forest.

To get to where you need to be, head to the entrance to the Town of Jova. From there, looking towards the marshes of the more open area, head forward. You’ll cross a bridge that approaches the Timeloop and some marsh lands, past the Timeloop and a fair few enemies. After you’ve passed the Timeloop, head left (north).

You’re looking for an open area with four crystal pillars. It’s not far from the tunnel entrance at the back left of the map (if you were facing out from the Town of Jova).They’re organised in a kind of box / diamond shape.

To solve the mystery, you need to hit the crystal pillars in a certain order. There is a note you can find that tells you the correct order, but luckily, I’m going to tell you anyhow.

You need to hit the pillars counter clockwise starting with the pillar in the image above. It’s the north-east one next to a tree. Hit all four in the correct order and the stone door will open, solving the mystery and opening a new place for you.

The last one you should hit is the one in the image below, the one closest to the entrance of the sealed door.
