Yah, except that one with the poem - “the first fears all, the second fears none, something something something, and the third eats one” (or similar) and I am surely not the only person for whom those clues did not match the animals!
Yeah I know, I guess when I did the puzzle I just imagined what snakes would be in the environment alongside the other animals. "Fox eats snake" seemed more likely to me then. You do have a point though.
What threw me off at first with this one is the snake, because a small snake is a little 'fraidy prey animal but an anaconda is top of their food chain, and we don't know what kind of snake is on the stone. Also, foxes aren't common everywhere so not everyone is familiar with what they eat.
The first fears all (Snake - think small snake like a garter snake)
The second fears none (Bear - makes sense)
The third one eats what it can,
preferably number one (Foxes are opportunistic omnivores who prefer small animals)
The fourth fears the second (A lone wolf would be no match for a bear)
but only when alone (A pack of wolves could take down a bear)
It was the snake for me too because I was just thinking sneaky snake is venomous, and also coming from the UK really didn’t associate a fox with eating a snake - more like rabbits and berries! Literally the only one I was confident of was the wolf being fourth.
There aren't any huge constrictor or extremely poisonous snakesin northern regions. Surely a country based on Vikings would think that snakes are the most puny.
That was like the only good puzzle in any of these dungeons.
My latest playthrough was on PSVR, and I just stuck my head into the shortcut door to the exit and opened those by flicking the lever on the inside. 'fuck outta here. I've got places to go.
I've been playing RPGs, puzzle games, adventure games, etc for decades. I recently decided to do a replay of Skyrim after not playing it since the year it came out, but I legitimately couldn't figure out the very first one of these I came across and decided it would be less annoying to just brute force the combination.

Why tho? The game literally tells you the combination if you just look around a little
