During your playthrough of Stellar Blade, you might come across a few puzzles that require you to use your brain. These can be a nice change of pace after hacking and slashing through the Naytiba. We are going to be looking at the simple puzzle in this guide. Despite its name, it can take some time to work out.
Don’t worry if you can’t figure it out, that is what we are here for. We will be running through how to start the side quest, how to work out the puzzle, and what you can gain from knowing the answer. There is no trick or clues available. You can either figure it out or you can’t.
