How to solve the Tombstone Puzzle in Act 2 of Inscryption

Rest in peace.

Inscryption begins with the player trapped in Leshy's cabin but opens up more once the player reaches Act 2. In this act, the player has four different regions to explore. In these regions, they will find a familiar gameplay loop to Act 1 with some slight differences. Collecting cards and solving puzzles are still heavily featured in Act 2, though.

One puzzle is the Tombstone Puzzle in the Temple of the Dead. To solve this puzzle, the player must figure out the missing pieces for the three tombstones. The player simply needs to read the notes scattered throughout the temple and defeat all the spirits residing there.

These notes will reveal pieces of the tombstones. Talking to the ghosts will give the player some hints about how each one died and allow them to match their deaths with the epitaphs. Finally, defeating the ghosts will reveal their names and which tombstone is theirs. You can find the correct sequences and placements below.
