The snowy realm of Kalthus is crawling with enemies inImmortals Of Aveum, but by the time you get there you’re able to handle most of what Rasharn can throw at you. The tricker part of getting through the area is the Abandoned Outpost, a fortress that requires careful casting and precise platforming to cross.

Climbing the Outpost can have you running around in circles. Even if you know what to look for, getting to the top can take trial and error… to say nothing of the enemies lurking around every corner.
How To Solve The Floating Blocks Puzzle In Kalthus
On your way to the Underdwell you’ll come across an abandoned fortress in Kalthus Plains. Once you’ve defeated the Nightblades patrolling the area, you might find yourself running around in circles; the switch that opens the gate just leads back to the frozen lake where you fought enemies earlier.
After opening the gate,turn around immediatelyand look at the base of the stair-like structure in the middle of the courtyard. You’ll see anAnimate Glyph.This allows you to move the stone blocks to create stairs.
Unlike Animate Glyphs you’ve seen before, this one lets you move objectsalong two axes at once. It also doesn’t have a time limit before it resets, so once you place the blocks they’ll remain where you left them.
The blocks actually form two sets of stairs; one to the middle level and one to the top, which is where you need to go. When the stairs reach all the way to the top, youcan’t jump directly from the first set to the second.
Set the blocksalmost, but not all the way,up and to the right. This will let you use the lower stairs to reach the lit room halfway up the wall.
Smash the chest in the room for some extra Gold, thenjump out the window onto the bottom of the second set of blocks.If the positioning is just right, you’ll be able todouble-jump to the top of the wallfrom the highest block.

How To Leave The Abandoned Outpost
Besides being able to continue the story, you’ll be rewarded with a new portal, letting you easily come and go in the future. You’ll also find a Spell Altar that teachesBash, a new Fury that ups your melee game considerably! You’ll even get a chance to try it out, as two Guruks will immediately spawn.
Before you move on,be sure to collect the Life Ringbehind the locked door by activating the Glyphs around the room. Green Magic is especially useful in the upcoming fights, so the Life Ring will give you a significant edge - especially if you hop through the portal and upgrade it at a Forge first!
You can’t ride the red Leyline for now, so justHover over the broken bridgeand take the stairs up the fortress. You’ll encounter several large squads of Nightblades, including Brutes and Green Magni. Bash will come in exceptionally handy here!
The portcullis at the top of the climb can be opened with a Green Strike to the Glyph above it. Be sure to check the area for chests after clearing the Nightblades here!
Beyond the portcullis is a long drop; attempt to land in the side room three-quarters of the way down to pick up some extra Gold; if you miss, you can simplyGrapple your way back to the top and try again.
At the bottom of the fall, you’ll find yourself on the far side of the Abandoned Outpost, ready to continue forward.
