Mortal Shell 2 - How to Get Vatra's Heart and Unlock Gragu's Shell

Vatra's Heart is what unlocks Gragu's Shell, and the way in is a puzzle that reads like a riddle.

The inscription says it plainly once you know what it means: gaze upon your king as true, back and back you shall pass through. You have to walk BACKWARDS while facing the king. Turning around to see where you are going is what closes the way, which is why people bounce off this one.

The rest of the route is followed on screen, through the standing stones to the Heart of Vatra itself.
