So I know HOW to solve this since I looked up. But what I want to know is, is there an actual hint in game somewhere I just missed? If so where is it?

Rain of Blood + Bless. Then you can use the portal he activates when leaving by interacting with the Gargoyle above.

Same thing: I've known the means of solving it for some time but it's frustrating that I still don't know why it works.

Then again, I'm that person who can never do cryptic crosswords, no matter how patiently they're explained to me!

He knows that already, what he and many others I guess, are wondering about is where in the actual game (at that point) you can get a hint that blood douses hellfire. Not to mention that this is probably the only instance in the game that has hellfire, and what is even more confusing blood does not douse necrofire.

Someone asked the same on Steam and kblaze13 wrote this:

if you haven't used the ring to bypass the maze, and come across it normally the gargoyle gives you a "hint" in the form of a riddle.

"How would Braccus Rex put out the fire?"
a "blood bath".

Oh, I never noticed the second part of the gargoyle's hint: typical of me to not pay attention...

It's probably nothing. Just another "Artifact of *breath* super-final-we-really-mean-it-THIS-time-no-kidding Ultimate Doooooooooom"! There probably is no way to get him to spill.

That's pretty much how I saw it. Okay, I saw it as "there's this awesome thing and I'm not telling you. lol."
