There are 7 Native Pillars hidden around the game world in both the North Atlantic and River Valley. Upon discovering each of them, we can interact with a dais nearby to undertake a short, shape aligning puzzle mini-game. In this we need to twist the various segments of the pillar so that a source of energy depicted by an illuminated pathway flows in a direct line from the top of the pillar to the bottom.
Successfully solving one of these pillar puzzles will reveal a treasure location beneath it when completed. Each of these locations houses a native totem that we can acquire.
Pillars appear as a totem icon on the map (left). Interact with them and rotate the segments so that there is a direct line between the arrows at the top and bottom to solve them (right).
Once we have found and collected all 7 native totems, we can travel to the native village in Orenda, River Valley where there is a locked door (this is shown to you during campaign sequence 4-02 ‘Armor and Sword’). This becomes accessible once all of the stones have been gathered. Upon opening the door we will earn some rewards.
- For solving all 7 Native Pillar puzzles, we’ll earn the achievement/trophy ‘King of the Hill’.
- For opening the door we’ll unlock the achievement/trophy ‘Ancient Hero’.
- Opening the door will also grant us the Native Armour.
The pillars can be found in the following locations:
North Atlantic¶
1. Terra Nova (797,480)
This native pillar is located in a cavern deep within a cave near the docking area. You’ll need to do a bit of climbing and platforming to reach it.

2. Gros Morne (483,305)
As with the previous pillar, this one is located in a cavern deep within a cave in the Gros Morne region map. You’ll need to do a bit of climbing and platforming to reach it.
Interact with the pillar (left). Arrange the segments as such (right) to solve the puzzle.
3. Fogo (907,067)
As with the other North Atlantic pillars, this one is located in a cavern deep within a cave in the Fogo map in the very northwest corner of the North Atlantic region map. You’ll need to do a bit of climbing and platforming to reach it.
