/way 46,8, 41,7 Ve'nari
/way 23.0 68.4 Grappling
/way 24.0 75.5 Platform

About the Puzzle:

Once you use your Stygia Dowser, you will be phased out and become a ghost, and a chest with 6 glowing runes will appear at the center of the platform. You can click on 2 of the glowing runes at a time to swap their positions around. To solve this puzzle, you need to pay attention to your surroundings - There are 6 spikes on the platform you're on, and each spike will have a glowing rune on top of them. You need to order the runes near the chest to match the order of the spikes on the platform. Be careful, as you DO have limited attempts, and if you fail enough times, you will not be able to attempt the puzzle again for TWO HOURS.

Once you match the runes with the pillars, the chest will open, giving you the Crumbling Stele. Once you obtain the Crumbling Stele, Ve'nari will have another item for sale - The Partial Rune Codex, for another 1500 Stygia.

Pre-requisites: Be Appreciated by Ve'nari, have 3,500 Stygia, have learned Animated Levitating Chain. Helpful: Words of Warding is active because of Assassin's Soulcloak

A quick note on farming. When Words of Warding is active, as long as you don't turn it in, you can cloak easily in Perdition Hold, which makes Perdition Hold ideal for farming Stygia Dust and Stygia Sliver. It also makes it easier to get Rune Codex Page: Souls as well as get to Go to Soulsteel Anvil.

Another thing I noticed is that when you collect resources from one stygia nexus, another one seems to spawn almost instantly. I think there are two active nexus in each particular sub-zone of the maw. This is why camping a spot doesn't seem to work as the nexus are random. HOWEVER, I think some more more common spawn locations than others. If you are having trouble finding one, I'd check the more rare spots, which for Perdition Hold is at the very very top of Dominion Keep as well as the very southern part where your Assassin's Soulcloak will fall off.

Is it safe to delete this after you get the mount or is it used for something else?

I was not quite clear about he spikes and the direction.
youtube was helpful, and here is a shorter version:
Look at the top of the spikes around the platform - arrange glyphs from 1-6 accordingly
* is the Grapple Point

.3 4
2 5
1 *6

In case you're here after finishing the necrolord assault and you're wondering if you can do the puzzle when you have Draka's Battlehorn on your extra action button, the answer is: NO. No, you cannot! You have to wait until the assault is over in a few days because you can't unequip Draka's Battlehorn and get rid of that extra action button, thus you can't click the button to start the puzzle!

Edit: Turns out it doesn't matter whether you finished the necrolord assault. If it's active, you can't complete it. Don't be lazy like me. <_<

Anyone have an issue where this is not showing up? I tried this yesterday and failed the puzzle and was knocked off. I went back today and there is no green fog or chest. Its Venthyr assault today, not Necro assault as mentioned in some other comments that it will not be up during Necro assault. Anyone know why its not showing up? Is there some pre-requisite that I need to do again because I failed it the first time? any help would be greatly appreciated

If you don't see the green fog: jump down under the hook point, logout and log back in and it should be up.

Just to add, since I made this mistake or was a bug, once you get all your Stygia or bars made and did not make Armored Husk first and joined a group or left or whatever and then put your Stygia Dowser in your bank and then go back to make the Armored Husk. The graple hook points will be gone( or was bugged for me) but when I put the Stygia Dowser back in my bags the hook points came back. So if you want to get back up there just put the Stygia Dowser in your bags and you are good to go.
