"Combine the Relic Shards in the main chamber" is Stage 3 of a Vibin' Part 5 Quest in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 3, tasking participants with interacting with a pedestal within the underground ruins of Shuffled Shrines. This quest begins with the player establishing Device Uplink to communicate with The Scientist near Shuffled Shrines, located west of The Joneses. After The Scientist learns how the protagonist successfully attuned all three shards in a previous quest of Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 3, he wishes to have them combined within the landmark's main chamber.

However, the door to the main chamber of Shuffled Shrines is locked. The only way to unlock the door is by correctly turning the pillars in front of the entrance in a particular order. Solving this puzzle is the hardest part of the quest, mainly because most of the lobby will likely gather at the same location. While some friendly combatants might be focused on completing the Vibin' Part 5 Quest, there will be several hostile ones who are not. Therefore, players are highly encouraged to find a weapon to protect themselves before continuing the quest.

After ensuring one's safety, players must explore Shuffled Shrines in search of four Runes. The symbols on these Runes in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 3 will be the same as the ones on the pillars guarding the main chamber's entryway. Therefore, players must find and memorize these symbols to align the pillars correctly for the locked door to open.

While the four Runes scattered about Shuffled Shrines are always in the same spots, the symbols are randomized for every match. Accordingly, players new to the landmark or who've visited this location prior will need to search for the Runes regardless. Below is a list of where each Rune is located, including a numbered order of how the pillars are to be rotated in front of the main chamber:

  • First Rune: within an underground chamber in the southwest
  • Second Rune: inside a ruin to the northwest
  • Third Rune: under a red tent in the northeast
  • Fourth Rune: beneath wooden scaffolding slightly southeast of the third Rune's location in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 3

After finding all the Runes, head to the locked door near the center of Shuffled Shrines and turn the pillars to match the symbol order.

Next, go towards the main chamber, being cautious of the pressure plate traps along the way in the corridor. Pick up the golden idol in the center and head into the room on the left. Interact with the pedestal to "Combine the Relic Shards" and complete the quest.
