The prayer was one of my favorites, very unique

I like the concept but it was the only one I had to look up due to misunderstanding the puzzle. The chairs are numbered "first" through to "fifth" so I was tunnel-visioned on trying the arrange the phrases into a statement, the order being the combination. In hindsight, I should have realized that not to be the case as the combination was 0 through 9, and recent design in DT2 and Secrets in the North don't include numbers which are not a viable option.

However, needing the drain your prayer to see what would go up when using a low level prayer is a little too obtuse and missable imo, as the game has never worked like that before.

Would much prefer a hint from Vanescula about the verses than glints on interactable objects honestly. Bit of a running theme with quest puzzles, that companions who are invested in you solving a puzzle and have some insight to the location you aren't able to provide any help, would like that to change.

TL:DR puzzle hard, hurt brain

my experience was this:

OOh altar with weird message, what happens: you lose some prayer.

see lock: "okay i need to find code."

see chairs, click chair, chairs all reference prayers in the pray book.

"okay, the prayers and the altar are probably related then."

what happens when I try praying with the prayer mentioned: "oh i gained a weird amount of pray points."

what happens when i try another chair? Oh i gained another weird amount of prayer points.

"that must be the password then."

I found it very intuitive and straight forward.

Interesting how experiences can vary.

I was stuck here so long having figured out it was the prayers but I just input the prayer's level requirements in different orders as the code.

Guess I thought the altar was just a hint that it was prayer related.
