The first source of Mysterious Energy in Witchwood is the Abyssal Nexus southwest of the witch’s house on Alfonso’s estate. If you stand facing the witch’s house, you need to climb the hill behind it, where the Nexus will be easy to spot. Stand on the plate to activate it. After that, you’ll be able to travel here using fast travel by selecting the Nexus on the world map.
To find the Nexus, navigate to the “The Witchwoods” sign on the map. The source is located slightly north of the letter “E” in the word “THE”.

To get to the second source, head northeast from the Nexus near the witch’s house. This will take you to Fonielle Ranch. You need to enter the nearby barn, find a hidden staircase, and descend into the Luminous Moon Labyrinth.
Here’s a brief solution to the puzzle to activate the Abyssal Candelabrum:
Walk along the wall to bypass the flamethrowers.
Pull the lever to open the gate.
In the room with shields on the wall, press them in the following order:
The right “P” with three protruding lines.
The regular “P” on the right.
The right “P” with two lines.
The regular “F” on the left.
The left “F” with three lines.
After that, the gates will open, and you’ll be able to pick up the Abyssal Artifact, activating the fast travel point.

Head straight north from Fonielle Ranch to find the last source – the Twilight Forest Ancient Ruins. You’ll end up in an area with five mysterious pillars and an altar in front of them. The goal is to use the “Strike” skill on the altar to change the height of the pillars, aligning them with the far left one.
The altar has four slots for a sword, each controlling a specific set of pillars. The pillars will start glowing when you insert the sword.
A simple solution to the puzzle:
Select pillars 2-3-4 and raise them halfway.
Select pillars 3-4-5 and also raise them halfway.
Adjust pillars 2 and 5 together to align all five.
After solving the puzzle, you’ll get an Abyssal Artifact and activate the Abyssal Candelabrum as a fast travel point.
