The Remnant 2 Water Harp puzzle is located in The Forbidden Grove of Yaesha, one of the many realms that you must visit in the action-adventure game. According to legend, this enormous feat of musical engineering was constructed by the Pan to soothe the Ravager and put a stop to its rampage.

You can solve the Remnant 2 Water Harp puzzle by raising pegs on the mechanical music box in order to match the notes of the song being played by Flautist stationed close by.

Here’s how to solve the Water Harp puzzle:

  • First row – Fifth peg
  • Second row – None
  • Third row – Fourth peg
  • Fourth row  None
  • Fifth row – Third peg
  • Sixth row – Fourth peg
  • Seventh row – First peg
  • Eighth row – None

Each peg corresponds to a musical note, so you may be able to decipher the notes yourself. Alternatively, you can find the musical notation on the first page of the journal on the stone altar just by the checkpoint.
