Path of Serpents Puzzle Solution in Crimson Desert

Life in Pywel is hard, but living in the Abyss is even harder. There are no resources or people; it’s just puzzles as far as the eye can see. That’s what Kliff has to deal with in Crimson Desert, as our unlikely hero traverses The Abyss, overcoming numerous objectives that require a little more thought than your average encounter.

For the Path of the Serpents, you will need to activate the gigantic cube located in the southernmost part of the world, taking you up to the sky to witness the path in all its glory.

Solving the Puzzle

In order to solve the Path of Serpents puzzle, you will need to whip out your Axiom Force grab tool by holding LT and pressing in the left thumbstick. By doing this, you will grapple onto an object to move it around, turn it or put it in your pocket for safe keeping if it’s something that needs transporting.

For the Path of Serpents, there will be a 5x5 grid for the power source at the start of the puzzle to divert into two separate locations. In order to do this, you will need to grab the small panels on the ground and twist them left or right so they point in the correct direction.

Grab onto the first panel that’s connected to the power source in the south. When you do this, it will light up on the path the power is headed. Turn it once to clockwise and this will light up a good chunk of the board.

Head up to where the lights stop (second from the right, third row from the bottom). Rotate once in either direction as you simply need it to point north and south.

More of the board will light up, but instead of heading to the end of the lights, start turning the one just above the panel you just interacted with (second from the left, the furthest row at the top). Turn this once counterclockwise, so the power is diverted both left and right, which should go straight into the power source.

Now head to where the lights stopped from the previous adjustment. It is currently pointed down and to the right. Turn this twice in either direction. Move to where you’re diverting the power to the left-most device, and turn the panel here once clockwise.

By completing this, you will change the lasers in the back. It won’t actually bring down the lasers, but they will no longer be in an obscure pattern, and you’ll be able to maneuver around them. All you need to do is head back there and Axiom Force push the device on the wall. A fan will appear below you. Take it up and collect your reward of an Abyss Artifact.
