Completing Keira Metz's questline in The Witcher 3 leads Geralt of Rivia through subterranean ruins in search of powerful magical artifacts. The side quest titled Magic Lamp serves as a crucial follow-up to the main story mission Wandering in the Dark. Resolving the puzzle hidden deep inside the elven ruins requires careful observation of four statue statues guarding a sealed door.

Starting the Magic Lamp Quest

After defeating the Wild Hunt warrior Nithral, Keira asks Geralt to help her retrieve a mysterious lamp promised by an elven mage. Following Keira deeper into the cavern brings you to a locked stone door adorned with a inscription and four statues. Reading the riddle on the door provides key clues on the specific order required to ignite the braziers.

Deciphering the Four Statues Riddle

The riddle speaks of four statues standing in unity, each holding a distinct duty to honor their leader. The first statue to light is the one standing on the far right, which belongs to the statue playing a harp. Next, Geralt must ignite the brazier held by the statue standing on the far left, who carries a hound.

To complete the sequence, ignite the statue standing directly next to the first one on the inner right. Finally, light the remaining statue positioned on the inner left to trigger the door mechanism. Lighting these braziers in the wrong order summons wraiths that Geralt must eliminate before resetting the puzzle.

Exploring the Sealed Chamber

Once the door opens, Geralt and Keira can step inside the ancient burial tomb to collect the magical artifact. Keira claims the Magic Lamp, which later allows Geralt to communicate with lingering spirits across Velen. Before leaving the cave, search the room carefully to find hidden crafting schematics and valuable loot guarded by a formidable gargoyle.

Reaching the Surface and Next Steps

Exiting the elven ruins completes the quest and unlocks future interactions with Keira Metz at her cottage near Midcopse. Utilizing the Magic Lamp becomes vital during subsequent side quests, particularly when investigating Fyke Isle. Successfully solving this riddle ensures players do not miss key narrative developments and essential gear early in the game.
