Sins of the Father Puzzle Solver
Mausoleum Kakurasu door + Arboretum blisterwood valves — the two account-specific puzzles in the quest.

Mausoleum door (Kakurasu)
At the Icyene Graveyard, unlock the mausoleum door. Copy the numbers to the right of each row and under each column into the solver (usually 5×5). Shaded cells add their column index to the row sum and their row index to the column sum.
Enter the numbers you see to the right of each row and below each column in the in-game puzzle. Leave fields blank for unknown values.
Blisterwood valves (Arboretum)
In Darkmeyer's Arboretum, read the old note from the toppled shelves for your gallon total. Set the north and south valves (0–5), then chop eight blisterwood logs.
Arboretum shelves → old note. North valve = 7 gal/interval, south = 4. Each dial goes 0–5.

Quest context (not a full guide)
Sins of the Father is a Master Myreque quest starting with Veliaf Hurtz in Slepe. Hard skill floors to start include 62 Woodcutting, 60 Fletching, 56 Crafting, and 52 Agility (not boostable), plus the Myreque quest chain through A Taste of Hope.
Rewards include Darkmeyer access, the Hallowed Sepulchre, the blisterwood flail, a six-use tome of experience (15k XP each to skills 60+), and more — see the OSRS Wiki for combat steps (Vanstrom, Damien, etc.). This page is only for the two puzzles.
FAQ
- What puzzles are in Sins of the Father?
- Two main ones: (1) the Kakurasu-style mausoleum door at the Icyene Graveyard — shade cells so row/column sums match; (2) the Arboretum blisterwood valves — set north and south dials so total gallons match your old note.
- How does the mausoleum Kakurasu puzzle work?
- Each shaded cell scores its column number in that row’s sum (1 = leftmost) and its row number in that column’s sum (1 = topmost). Enter the numbers shown on the right of each row and under each column, then solve. The grid is usually 5×5 and unique per account.
- How do the blisterwood valves work?
- Search the toppled shelves in the Arboretum for an old note with your gallon total. The northern valve adds 7 gallons per interval; the southern adds 4. Each valve setting is 0–5. This tool finds every north/south pair that hits your total.
- Why do I get multiple Kakurasu solutions?
- Some sum sets are mathematically ambiguous. Compare each solution to the in-game board (which cells are already marked) and pick the match. Red flags in-game are optional marks, not required for the math.
- Where does Sins of the Father start?
- Talk to Veliaf Hurtz outside the church in Slepe (after A Taste of Hope and the earlier Myreque quests). This page only covers the door and valve puzzles — use the OSRS Wiki quick guide for the full quest.
