Current Felcycle Torch Progress

Small orbs surrounding a torch mean that a specific puzzle is partially solved.

A large orb atop a torch means that the specific puzzle is completed, and new clues are revealed in the Karazhan Catacombs.

Progress on this puzzle is saved on your character - Leaving and resetting the dungeon, or logging out, will NOT reset your progress.

As of the time of this recap, we have complete solves on Torches 1 to 8, and partial solves on Torch 10!

Torch 8: Rats (SOLVED)Enigma MachineAncient Shaman BloodWarden's MirrorEnigma MachineTorch 8 Puzzle Basics

There are 5 statues inside the Karazhan Catacombs, these can be moved around by clicking on them. Clicking on them while they're attached to you will release them. You can only carry one statue at a time.
The Rage Statue can be found just as you enter the Catacombs, after the first set of stairs.

The Nature Statue can be found inside the room with the ogre symbol on top of its entrance.

The Watcher Statue can be found inside the room with the big red button on top of its entrance.

The Guardian Statue can be found next on the corridor just after the alarm, next to the Enigma Machine.

The Greed Statue can be found in the room where the Felcycle is located, just to the right of the entrance.

1 Object - Blue light

2 Objects - Green light

3 Objects - Yellow light

4 Objects - Red light

5 Objects - Purple light

6+ Objects resets the cycle - 6 blue, 7 green, etc. You will likely not hit this threshold, but it's good to know!

Plate #1 is inside the Felcycle room, to the right of the Cryptic Plaque.

Plate #2 is inside the Felcycle Room, just to the left of the entrance.

Plate #3 is inside the gated-off room with the Humming Crystal on top of its entrance.You can bypass the gate by using the previously obtained Relic of Crystal Connections at the blue Humming Crystal inside the room to get inside. When inside the room, you can get near the gate and target the Humming Crystal outside to port out of the room.

Statues can pass through the gate if you move one next to the gate - It will gain Crystalline Displacement and become translucent, allowing it to pass through the gate.

If you've been inside the Catacombs, it is a good idea to leave them and reset the dungeon before starting this.

Interact with the Enigma Machine and click BEGIN once, to start the puzzle. Activating the Enigma Machine will give you a chat message, The dungeon echoes with the sound of mechanisms resetting.

After this, click SUBMIT once. This will start the puzzle and spawn Rats through the catacombs.

Go back to the entrance of the Catacombs and search the dungeon for Rats. Count how many Rats you find. Do NOT count Catacombs Rats.
Make sure you kill all critters you see, as they can step on pressure plates and mess up counts.

You can go into Interface > Critters and Companions option (or just search for "Critters") to have critter names show up to help with your search.

You can also use the following macro to help you find rats:/tar Rat
/script SetRaidTarget("target", 8);
/cleartarget

As an example, if I have 4 rats on the first lock, I'll put in 1 statue on Pressure Plate #4. On the second lock, if I count 6 rats, I'll add 2 statues to Pressure Plate #5, etc.

If you're correct, you'll get the magnifying lens signifying you got a secret and a chat message, You hear a mechanism unlock.

If you're wrong, you will get zapped, and the puzzle will need to be restarted from Lock 1!

GG blizz.Comment by GarrogarHonestly, I think torch 8 is the worst puzzle yet. Just purely based off of how long it takes you to complete, even if you don't mess up. The other torches pale in comparison imo.Comment by dr7swagHow the hell did they figure out the table with rats and numbers! Unless this table is provided somewhere as a clue this is ridiculously hard.Comment by w0wbashHonestly, I think torch 8 is the worst puzzle yet.
