Marvel’s Midnight Suns Hiram Shaw Church puzzle guide – Stained Soil, Witch Warrens, and Hanging Tree locations
Hiram Shaw’s Church
The Hiram Shaw Church puzzle inMarvel’s Midnight Sunscan be found north of theStanding Stones area. By obtaining and using the Reveal power, you’ll be able tocross the bridgethat takes you to the opposite side. Follow the old road until you reach the church itself, and get ready to talk to a familiar specter.
Inside, you’ll find the friendly ghost of Agatha Harkness, and she instructs you to check the grounds. Pick up some collectibles here, then use theOpen poweron the door. In the next room is a desk with blank parchments. Make a mental note of these for now since they’re quite important.
After investigating the room, head to the back and you’ll spot some dark magic blocking the entrance to a cave. Agatha will then tell you thatDoctor Strangemight be able to help. Head back to the Abbey to talk to the Sorcerer Supreme, who tells you that he may need some more time to look into this magic blockage.
You’ll need to progress further in the game until you’ve defeated Fallen Venom in “The Bell Tolls” mission. You’ll unlock aresearch opportunity at The Forgethat takes about a day to complete. Go ahead and start the research, and complete more missions to make time pass. You can also spend this day bonding with your super-pals and giving themgreat gifts.
When you return to the cave, you’ll be able to remove the runes. Inside, grab some goodies and inspect the withered husk.
Witch Warrens and Stained Soil
Next, go back to the room inside the church (the one with theblank parchments).Use the Reveal powerto see that there are now drawings on the pieces of paper. Agatha cites that these are where witches died during Hiram Shaw’s reign of terror in Salem. Now, you’ll have to find these locations to pick up quest items. This will take a decent amount of walking time, but the mission won’t be going anywhere, so be sure to take some battle breaks in between the exploring.
Below, you’ll see a map with thelocations of Stained Soil and Witch WarrensinMidnight Suns. When you reach these areas, look at the ground to grab the soil samples that you need.
Here’s the gist:
The Hanging Tree
After obtaining all Stained Soil items,return to Agathaand she’ll teleport you back to the altar. Agatha will then show you a picture of a location that you’ll need to find to complete this quest.
The picture depicts an emptylocation with a decaying treein the middle of it. To find it, fast-travel back to Shaw Church and follow the road going to the west. There’s a destroyed bridge here, but you can repair it by using the Reveal power.
Go north until you see the steps leading to the graveyard. Off to the side, you’ll see the ancient tree with runes. Once you’re close to it,use the Reveal powerand Agatha will show up once more and grant you an important item.
This will complete the Hiram Shaw Church puzzle inMarvel’s Midnight Suns, which happens to net you your third Moon Seal. Now that you have all the Moon Seals, you’re able to focus on grabbing other collectibles like the plethora ofTarot cards.
