How to unlock the Third Time's the Charm achievement in Neverwinter - Definitive Guide

During the quest Temple Intrusion there will be a very dark square room with statue like enemies all pointing in different directions, seems its a different layout each time.

They are pointing at each other, they make a path which leads to each exit. It will be a random exit each time.

Edit: Suggestion in the comments is that the centre skeleton is the start for the path to the correct exit, see the second image below, it shows the centre skeleton pointing to the next skeleton on its right and so on.

As Kahless Clone suggests in the other guide, to open the two incorrect exits first you need to pick the exits with more enemies near them (enemies will awaken and fight you). I've tried to see if there are any other differences but there are the same number pointing to each door, I haven't noticed a pattern yet other than 5 pointing to one door are not as close as the others.

Open the last door which the remaining enemies are pointing at for the achievement. I earned this on my second try.

Aaaaand, second try. Left 5, straight 4, right 3, backwards 3.
And it was right.... so, no idea, maybe it is random!

At first I thought the same but I had five in each group on the try in the screenshots so yes I think that is random!

Say, can you still try the other exits even after finding the correct one?

I don't think so, as on my first try I got the right one, this ended the puzzle.

Just to let you know, first time (i.e. during the main quest) it was straight for me. Second time (repeatable) it was right. Being the same as reported by Shadow 00 Fox, maybe it's not random at all...

I think Jarheadwayne might be on to something. I ran this quest twice today and both times, the skeleton dead center of the room pointed the path to the correct exit. The first time I followed the path and picked the door and missed the achievement. The second time I followed the path and picked that door last and got the chieve...

Jarheadwayne's solution worked for me, I've just tried it twice.

Follow whichever direction the skeleton in the centre of the room is pointing. There will be another skeleton in the way, follow the direction that skeleton is pointing and so on until the final skeleton you arrive at is pointing at the correct exit with no obstruction in the way. Open the other doors first and defeat the enemies. On both occasions for me there were five skeletons in the 'pointing line'. (As an aside, both of the incorrect doors also had visible stairs leading down whereas the correct door didn't).

I should stress the skeleton in the centre is not pointing at the correct exit, it is pointing at the next skeleton you need to follow.

EDIT: The second picture in chrisie81's solution shows the pattern. You will be able to see this pattern before any enemies have been killed.

My last choice was 50/50 and I got lucky. I abandoned the quest to get back in for another shot.

Just to confirm it is in fact the center skeleton that starts the path to the correct exit.

Actually the skeleton is pointing to the correct exit every time

I would like to point out that these were the numbers pointing to doors, and the most were pointing to the correct door:
Straight(opposite from entrance): 6
Left: 4
Right: 3
Backwards: 2
And straight was the correct door.

I’ve only done this part twice. The first time I got lucky and got the achievement. The second time I was looking for a way to find the exit. When entering the room, I went to the skeleton straight ahead of me (I think he was dead center of the room) and followed the path of pointing skeletons. I tried the door the last skeleton was pointing to and it was the exit.

Don’t know if I got lucky or not and I didn’t have time to look around more to see the other pointing skeletons in the room.
