Testu's Rise Where to Find Three Wise Beasts
The entrance to Testu's Rise is initially sealed by a barrier. By the entrance, you will find an imp statue holding a glowing book that asks you to "Seek three wise beasts".
These beasts are represented as Ghostly Tortoises that spawn somewhere in the area. Each Tortoise needs to be found and attacked in order to break parts of the seal. This is the same challenge as the one at Oridys's Rise at the Weeping Peninsula except this time, a large number of Ghostly Skeletons will also spawn to hinder your progress.
- The first Tortoise can be found by the cliffs northwest of the tower on the same level.
- The second Tortoise is found high up on one of the trees east of the tower. Use a ranged or magical attack to hit it, and it will fall from the tree and die of fall damage.
- The final Tortoise is to the southeast of the tower on a ledge halfway down the cliff.
If players rest at a Site of Grace before all of the Tortoises are killed, they may have to activate the book statue again to spawn the remaining Tortoise(s).
Once all three Tortoises are killed, players will get a notification that the seal has been broken.
Go back to the now-opened door, and climb up the ladder.
When you reach the top of the ladder, turn right, and proceed up the stairs. You'll see a room with a chest in the middle of it containing a Memory Stone which increases your Memory Slots by one, allowing for the memorization of more Sorceries or Incantations.

AnonymousAs of now the puzzle is broken. I found the 1st turtle, and the second is invincible. After reloading the area, there are no turtles.

Two things to point out.
1. I'm currently on New Game Plus and I haven't encountered any enemy spectral skeletons in two playthroughs now. So I don't think the information on this page is correct. The only enemies are the walking corpses.
2. It would be good for this page to point out that this area becomes completely pointless in NG+ and beyond if you've collected all Memory slots. It just spawns an empty chest.

So I figured out after an hour the order is correct. Even if you die or go to way point you’ll still have to find whatever turtle you missed. The stationary zombies are the clue. 1st north by cliffs, then behind tower on tree, then on the cliff opposite side. I kept looking for the first one for an hour before I realized this.

First turtle is to the north on a ledge, second is behind the tower on a tree, third is to the south below the ledge.

You have to let the zombies spawm the find the third turtle.....
The pictures are duplicates of the ones from Oridys's Rise.

Wrong images for turtles, images submitted are for Oridys’s rise.

It seems to me that every turtle has a zombie guard that doesn't move, while the others are wandering around. So you get a hint where to search.

The words telling where to find the turtles are correct. However, the screenshots are for a completely different tower.
Unless I killed it like 100 hours ago and forgot/gave up, I only had to kill two turtles tonight for the seal to break.

So I fell off the cliff and died riding torrent only after finding the first tortoise. Found the other two now the rise will not unlock.
The zombies still spawn but all the turtles are gone. This is really lame.

The screenshots of the tortoises are from Oridys's Rise, not Testu. Needs updating.

Stupid memory stones,how many spells does From want us to be able to carry? 4 spells and 2 talismans is enough. Love the game but jesus the amount of useless crap you get is just annoying.
There seems to be a bug where the tree-hugging tortoise doesn't even spawn.. what a load of BS

the puzzle part of this are to trigger how to spawn the turtle instead finding them

The tortoise in the tree is very close to the tower, and it's not that high up really.

Make sure it is night, then look at the hint at the bottom of the tower stairs to activate the puzzle. If the skeletons are not spawning, then neither will the tortoises.

There's an error. The turtle is NORTHEAST of the entrance. Northwest will take you somewhere else

Holy **** cant even find them with a guide. What is even point of this "puzzle" ? Why add this ?

not sure if trolling or whoever took note of the locations did not know how to look at a compass.

First turtle not north of anything. Check south of the message at the entrance. You'll need to go down from the edge you can see it
- Anonymous
Don't know if bug or what but I tried day and night and the tree turtle just never showed up, had to re-touch the pedestal for a third time for it to finally show. Spent 40 min searching when it wasn't even there, what fun gameplay that was.

For the second Tortoise, go to the ***east*** of the tower and look down below the cliff around where a lone Ghostly Skeleton is standing. The Tortoise is on a lower level of the isle.
The turtle is actually located south of the tower, not east.

Is the order listed wrong?
The order they were in for me was 1 3 2.
- Anonymous
The turtle on the lower level isn't to the east, its to the south-east on a ledge halfway down the cliff.

Talking to the podium seems to shift it temporarily to night time, which is why the undead and the turtles appear. Didn't get a chance to see if you moved time via the site of grace to see if it still works.

re-read the pedastal to spawn the turtles, the other two will disappear when you go down to get the other

2nd turtle is not SOUTH of the tower, its east. Respawn them if you lose agro by going to the fire and rereading the door
- Anonymous
After lots of frustration and testing, if you lose aggro of the zombies they will disappear and so will the turtles. Sitting at the grace sight then regoing to the pedestal and resummoning the adds will respawn the turtles! Hope this helps everyone!
You can also hit the tree with the 3rd turtle to make it drop and die.

If you don’t hit all the turtles before travelling away they seem to disappear and don’t reappear later. This bug caused me to restart the game after 40 hours

i found the first and the third but the second one isnt showing up

If the turtles don’t appear make sure you read the sign at the front. The turtles won’t appear unless you do.
