Data Altar of Scared Analysis puzzle solution in Rogue Trader

You can solve the First Galvanic Hymn Puzzle in the Mechanicus temple on Rykad Minoris by correctly reciting all three verses of the First Galvanic Hymn. You will get two unique items if you choose three correct dialogue options. 

First, find the puzzle in the upper right section of the Electrodynamic Cenobium in Warhammer 40k Rogue Trader. In the upper right portion, look for a room containing the Data Altar of Sacred Analysis. If you see the Data Altar of Scared Analysis, interact with it via the green hand button.

Doing so is the first stage of the riddle puzzle, where a Cogitator will request you perform the First Galvanic Hymn. To recite the First Galvanic Hymn correctly, choose the following verses in order:

  • The Omnissiah, from whom the holy discharge springeth forth
  • The arcane key that closeth the circuit
  • The immortal reason that hath created the spark

Not reciting the verses in order or correctly results in the Cogitator giving the failure message: Only one who has learned the path of our Cenobium is worthy of gifts. The Cogitator will also ask for you to walk the path of the enlightened and to absorb their wisdom.

Don't worry if you failed the puzzle and got the failure message, as you can always try the puzzle again. I recommend choosing the verses in order, as brute-forcing the puzzle takes forever. Correctly solving the puzzle opens a wall in the same room containing a chest. Inside the chest is a Pinpointing Visor, an Arch rifle, and several cargo items.

I found the following cargo items inside the chest in my game:

  • Two Redpacks
  • Two Carbon Fibre Plates
  • Fire Selector mods
  • Magnus Class Rechargeable Battery

You can freely sell the cargo items but should keep the Pinpointing Visor and Arch Rifle. The Arch Rifle is a heavy-hitting, long-range gun that can electrocute multiple enemies. The Pinpointing Visor is also worth keeping, as it increases the critical hit chance for ranged attacks by 15 percent against enemies with less than 50 percent wounds left. We also recommend giving the Arch Rifle to an Operator character such as Pasqal for the best results, as they are best suited for long-range combat.
