Everything you need to know about the cave door puzzles in Senedra Forest in Hell Is Us, and how to solve them.
In Hell Is Us, puzzles are almost as important as the combat itself. In fact, puzzles and exploration make up more than half of the content in the game. While most of these puzzles are fairly simple, some of them can be quite tricky to figure out. And right off the bat, you get to experience the complexity of these environmental puzzles in Senedra Forest. As you progress past Earnest Cadell’s safe house, you will find a stone cave with an unknown soldier beside it. While unlocking the door might seem easy, it is quite tricky. Furthermore, once you get inside the cave, you need to unlock another door that leads you to an exit. This door too is locked by a combination code, which can be quite tricky to decipher.
However, as environmental puzzles go, you can figure out a solution to the cave door puzzles by exploring the nearby POIs. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to solve the Hell Is Us cave door puzzles in Senedra Forest.

How To Solve the First Cave Door Puzzle in Hell Is Us (Senedra Forest)
Since these puzzles are part of the main story, you cannot miss them as you explore Senedra Forest. However, before you can solve the door puzzle, you need to talk to the wounded soldier beside it and help him with a First Aid Kit. You can find the First Aid Kit nearby, in a makeshift camp. After you give the First Aid Kit to the wounded soldier, he will give you details on his superior and how you can reach them. However, to do so, you first need to unlock the cave door. The door is locked by a symbol-based code. You essentially need to line up the correct symbols on the statues near the door to unlock it. Figuring out the combination is quite easy.
Simply look out for the broken stone structures near the interactable statues. There’s a small room-like structure to the right of the statues, which has two of the symbols you need to use. The third symbol can be found in a broken piece of stone right outside said room. To make it easier, here’s the correct order of the symbols:
- Fire
- Eye
- Pickaxe
Set the symbols on the statue in this order (Fire > Eye > Pickaxe), and that will unlock the cave door. Inside the cave, you will encounter your first Hollow Walker and get new weapons and armor. Furthermore, after a brief combat tutorial, you will once again find yourself faced with another locked door.
How To Solve the Cave’s Exit Door Puzzle in Hell Is Us (Senedra Forest)
This door leads to the inner parts of the cave, and eventually to the exit. However, in order to open the door, you once again need to align three symbols. However, this time around, the symbols aren’t etched on a wall or stone. Instead, you need to decipher a poem in order to get the solution to this puzzle. Right alongside the door, you will find a small entrance to another part of the cave. Inside this entrance, you will find a small maze of walls that leads to a corridor with three doors. Opening these doors will reveal parts of the poem. However, behind all these doors, there’s also a Hollow Walker. As such, be careful while you traverse this location.
After you dispatch the Hollow Walkers, interact with the glyph on the wall to get the parts of the poem. The poem reads as follows:
- First, the sinners are brought to the tower.
- Then, they will endure the climb through the Twin-headed Serpent.
- And finally, the sinners will fall into the fires of hell.
The solution to this puzzle is in the order of the keywords in the poem – Tower > Twin-headed Serpent > Fire. Use these symbols on the door, and it will unlock.
