To actually check out which Glyphs you’ll need, you’ll want to open your Journal, and then Documents – you may have set this to a default key. From there, select “Tales of Brimstone Sands.” Once on this page, head over to “The Ancient Glyphs.” Acquiring all of these glyphs will net you a ‘secret’ in addition to chest and access to other regions.
Any of the corresponding glyphs which are blank or blocked out are ones you’ll still need. We’ll cover where to locate all of them in this ‘How to Unlock Brimstone Sands Secrets’ glyph guide.
