There is a statue of a skeletal warrior in Ravenshold which guards one of the most powerful melee weapons in the game.  The statue is located in the northwestern region of Ravenshold, and is surrounded by a crumbling circle of stones.  Rynn can get to the sword if she solves the statue's puzzle.

Skeleton Statue Puzzle
Press the buttons on each side of the statue in the following order:

  1. Left
  2. Front
  3. Front
  4. Back
  5. Left
  6. Right
  7. Right
  8. Left



Left and Right refer to the left and right
sides of the statue when you are facing it.


 

Go for a swim
The cave behind the statue will open when the buttons have been pressed in the correct order.  Save your game before entering the water inside the cave.


There is an underwater passage for Rynn to swim through, and it's possible she may drown trying to find her way through.  There are several places to emerge from the passage, but only one of them leads to Clineschmidt's blade.  You want the one that leads to a

circle of pillars with a chest in the center.  It's hard to see  underwater, so you may have to do some exploration to find the correct exit. This sort of exploration is safer if you save your game beforehand.
