Solving the Electrodynamic Cenobium Riddle in Warhammer 40K Rogue Trader

In the depths of the Mechanicus temple on Rykad Minoris, players of Rogue Trader encounter a perplexing challenge: the Electrodynamic Cenobium riddle. This puzzle requires the recitation of the First Galvanic Hymn, a test of knowledge and devotion to the Omnissiah. The task is daunting, as players must select the correct phrases from a multitude of dialogue options. Success promises a reward fitting for a worthy pilgrim, but the sheer number of possible combinations makes guessing a formidable and time-consuming endeavor. Those who prove their worth by correctly reciting the hymn are granted access to valuable treasures hidden within the temple.

How to recite the First Galvanic Hymn

To successfully recite the First Galvanic Hymn and unlock the treasures within the Mechanicus temple, follow this step-by-step guide:

  • Approach the Data-Altar of Sacred Analysis and engage in the call and answer dialogue with the console servitor.
  • Select the phrase: “… the Omnissiah, from whom the holy discharge springeth forth.”
  • Choose the following phrase: “… the arcane key that closeth the circuit.”
  • Conclude with the phrase: “…the immortal reason that hath created the spark.”

Remembering the sequence as dialogue options 2/5/4 can simplify the process. Once all three phrases are correctly recited, the servitor will acknowledge your knowledge and devotion, granting you access to the hidden rewards.

Rewards for Correctly Reciting the Hymn

Upon successfully reciting the First Galvanic Hymn, the servitor will reveal a chest containing powerful items that will aid you in your quest. The rewards include the Arc Rifle and the Pinpointing Visor, both of which offer significant combat advantages.

Arc Rifle Electrocutes multiple enemies if they are in proximity when attacked.
Pinpointing Visor Grants +15% critical hit chance against enemies with less than 50% wounds remaining.

These items not only enhance your offensive capabilities but also provide strategic depth to your gameplay. The Arc Rifle’s ability to chain attacks between enemies can turn the tide of battle, while the Pinpointing Visor’s critical hit bonus is invaluable for finishing off weakened foes. Additionally, you’ll receive cargo for your ship, further enriching your resources.
