Solving Rathma's puzzle in Diablo 4 is likely the first little brain teaser you'll run into during the Lord of Hatred campaign, but like most of the ARPG's puzzles, it's pretty simple to complete. You'll encounter this during the main story when exploring Skovos, and it's a classic example of "Choose three things in the right order".

I've kept any narrative details to a minimum below, focusing only on the puzzle, but this guide will, of course, contain spoilers for the puzzle itself. Otherwise, here's how to complete Rathma's puzzle in A Blade's Weight quest.

While exploring the Archive of the Makers, you'll come to a Rathmic Statue with three altars in front of it, plus another three further back with a skull resting on each. You'll also find a Time-Worn Inscription off to the right side of the statue that reads:

"Power born of Hell begets Corruption."

It's puzzle time! When you investigate the skull altars, you'll notice that they translate the three capitalized words above into Power (Dunaxys), Hell (Abythos), and Corruption (Coruphar). Armed with this knowledge, what you need to do is activate them in the order they appear in the inscription, namely:

Dunaxys (Power)
Abythos (Hell)
Coruphar (Corruption)

This will open a hole in the wall so you can continue A Blade's Weight and explore the Temple of Light with Lorath.
