Converted Fringe Tower | Elden Ring Wiki

You don't need any glintstone crowns, just the gesture.

i think i figured out this puzzle completely by accident the 1st time. I had just gotten the gesture and just so happened to be wearing a glintstone crown. I don't mind most of From's more ambiguous puzzle designs for the most part but this is one of the ones where you scratch your head a bit and wonder if whoever designed it just hoped people would share the solution online

Submit

iirc, I solved this doing the 'Erudition' gesture while the 'Starlight' spell was active. I don't think I was wearing any glintstone helm.

Submit

Instead of the gesture, you can use the mimic veil, works on all of these type of puzzles.

Submit

You need to wear any glintstone crown THAT HAS AN ACTUAL GLINTSTONE on top of it. I started with Hierodas' (bald head) and it didn' t work, same with Haimas' crown (also wears a cap). As soon as I used the glintstone crown of House Karolos the glintstone started to glow and the seal on the door vanished.

How in the world are you supposed to figure this out by yourself?

Submit

"Puzzle"...
Puzzle, my ass!

Submit

praise the ****ing sun

Submit

How??? How am I supposed to know I have to wear spesific headgear? The hell Fromsoft?

I don't know how anybody would figure this puzzle out on their own without looking it up on the wiki or from the messages that people left on the floor. Maybe I missed a note at a normadic merchant?

Since the Wiki doesn't explicitly state which Glintstone Crowns do work: you need to wear any of the Glintstone Crowns the sorcerers in Raya Lucaria are wearing. The Burger King masks. I.e. Twinsage, Olivinus, Karolos or Lazuli Glintstone Crown. Sorceress Sellen's Glintstone Crown works too.

Submit

There is an exact same puzzle in Converted Tower. Same text, same-ish building. But somehow this one needs glintstone crown to solve?

Am I dumb? Is there an indication for this? Or is this just fromsoft being fromsoft

Submit

it only worked with me using the “erudition” gesture

Submit

Sorcerers are complete jerks. If one learns something before the rest of them they get the boot… or in this case, the Gavel. It’s no wonder his helm doesn’t work here.

Submit

All the stuff you need is in the academy. You need an extra key from the ceiling of the cuckoo church and give that to throps. A crown is to the left of that big gear elevator on the cliff side.

Submit

This is by far the worst joke of a "puzzle" in this game. It's random trial and error garbage with no thought put behind it and casual players will only be able to solve it by looking up the solution or by chance if they happen to be an INT build wearing one of the helmets while performing the gesture. There is no indication, clue, piece of text, lore or anything anywhere even in the helmets themselves that hints at them lighting up at some point. The cherry on top is that the contents of the tower are Haima's spells, yet both Haima's and Hierodas' crowns don't work for it, even though they would have made even more sense for the puzzle (Light the way by erudition, to see through the darkness of your blindfold, or some corny **** like that).

Submit

Kinda dumb that this is where you get Haima's spells but you can't wear his mask to open the door.

Submit

you dont need the crown or the emote, you can just jump on the wall outside on a horse to get up there to get the spells

Submit

Does NOT work with the Hierodas crown, try another one

Submit

"To clear the puzzle, perform the Erudition gesture while wearing any Glintstone Crown in front of the door.
Note: The Azur, Lusat, Hiama and Hierodas Glintstone Crowns do not work for this."

...ah, yes, ANY glintstone crow except MOST glintstone crowns. Got it.

Submit

Quick note that I just discovered:

the door DOES NOT OPEN with Hierontas Glintstone Crown despite it being a Glintstone Crown.

I don't know if this is a bug, but yeah. It was the only crown in my inventory and I was confused about why the door wasn't opening.

Submit

OH MY GOD, i needed to wear the right hat!? It never would ha e occured to me.

Also, props and thank to that other guy in the comments for the tip, i had no idea that crowns lit up when you wore while doing the gesture

Submit

For the record, this worked with the Karolos Glintstone Crown

Submit

The emote is obvious but i would never have gotten the 2nd part of the clue "ight the way" the crowns I think are the only helms with glintstones that literally light up at the end of the gesture

Submit

It's not a riddle if there's more than one answer, how was anyone supposed to know about the crown

Submit

You have to use a sorcerer mask that has the eyes shown. Blindfolded masks will not work. If you think about it . Its makes perfect sense

Submit

If I killed throps is it just not possible to open, he gives the emote and I never gave him the key

Submit

I really wonder how they though players could figure this stuff i guess google is part of the quest's progress in this game.

Submit

Witches crown worked for me

Submit

When i stand infront of the statue i can see the sun shines on the tree outside, but when i walk outside it gets all misty and the sun dissapears. I wonder if thats intended :/

Submit

"To clear the puzzle, perform the Erudition gesture while wearing any Glintstone Crown in front of the door."

It does not work for the Haima Glintstone Crown. It was successful when I tried the Twinsage, though.

Submit

How do we find out that this helmet specifically lights up with this emote? Without the wiki? Is there a spector ghost that gives a hint? NPC that mentions it somewhere? Or is it just random trial and error?

Submit

Used Twinsage Crown and did the Erudition gesture infront of the statue. It opened the seal for me.

Submit

How rhe F would anyone figure this out?!?!

Submit

How rhe F would anyone figure this out?!?!

Submit

So, I get that we have to use one of the crowns along the erudition emote in front of the statue, but what I'd like to know is, how do you get to know that? Is there a hint somewhere, a note from some trader perhaps?
The "erudition" part is obvious enough, but I'm curious about how to know you have to use a glintstone crown

Submit

Twinsage Glinstone Crown
Do the emote in front of the statue.

Submit

Witch Glintstone Crown only worked. Tried Lusat and Azur and they didnt. On the white message, in front of the statue.

Submit

I have Twinsage Crown and doing Erudition gesture at the blue door and it won't open.

Submit

Heirodas Glintstone Crown does not break the seal with the gesture.

Submit

Lastat and azur crown doesn't work for this

Submit

how do you learn to use a crown? what tip does the game give you.. or how did you figure it out?

Submit

The Heirodas Flintstone Crown does not work for this

Submit

Need to wear the 'Olivinus Glintstone Crown' and then gesture outside the sealed door, not the statue.
Attempted with 'Hieroda Glintsone Crown' doesn't work. When I switched to Olivinus it worked straight away.

Submit

So i don't have the gesture and can't : didn't gave my second Key to thops and still found him dead while exploring the academy. I was doing a blind playthrough, but a friend told me of what was inside.
I am trying some plateforming by jumping against the wall and so far i almost reach the opened balcony. If you find another way or maybe an OOB trick to get in, please lemme know.
I really badly want those spell, i'm 100h+ on that character, i do NOT want to go through all the trouble again just for that.
'sucks that you Can Miss some key gesture to solve a unique puzzle, just like that, with no way of coming back. Missed object are tradable from a reroll, missed gesture nope.

Submit

You can use any glintstone crown for this i used the olivinus crown so as long as you have a glitsrone crown this works (just need a glitstone crown and erudation gesture)

Submit

you need to use the Karolos Glintstone Crown and Gesture infront of the statue not infront of the door

Submit

The sage crowns (lusat/azur) don't work either.

Submit

Hierodas crown doesn't work

Submit

gesture + mask

Submit

Twinsage Clintstone Crown work just fine.

Submit

The haima crown dosnt work for it

Submit

note that the Hierodas Glintstone Crown also does not work for this

Submit

To be accurate, there are actually 5 crowns. 4 of them are hidden in the Academy and the last one is in a village to the north.

Submit

you can also just jump up the wall and skip the puzzle.... i did so because i thought we were just supposed to find another way lol i used torrent to climb the side wall then jump over to the stairs

i also thought that it wasnt part of the puzzle went back solved the puzzle and it lead me to the same chest i already had

Submit

You also need to wear any of the 4 crowns you get in the second legacy dungeon while performing the gesture, then it will open.

Submit

You also need to have a Glintstone Crown (of any of the 3 faces) Equip while doing the emote.

Submit

You need to wear one of the 3 crowns from the academy and then do the gesture.

Submit

In addition to performing the Erudition gesture in front of the door, you also have to be wearing a glintstone headpiece. They are in the Academy, which you get from killing the crabs there. I used the one with two faces, but I would assume the single faced one works as well.

Submit

You need one of the Glintstone Crowns too. Not just the gesture

Submit

To get Erudition gesture you have to give Academy Glintstone Key to Sorcerer Thops at the Church of Irith

Submit

how long do you have to hold the gesture for? ive done it at multiple spots and for atleast a minute in each and the door wont open

Submit

It doesn't work for me, I'm doing the Erudition gesture but it does not open.

Submit

how does one get the gesture to unlock the puzzle?
