Spire of the Stars Puzzle Solution in Crimson Desert

Throughout the various adventures of Kliff and companions in Crimson Desert, you will come across numerous Spires. The vast majority of these are tied to the main story, while a couple of which are side quests that require a little more thought and precision to overcome. Some may be complicated puzzles while others are platforming sections with a steady drop at the end.

For Spire of the Stars, this is directly tied to the main story, so even if you come across this gigantic structure early on, you won’t be able to do much with it.

When to Unlock Spire of the Stars

Spire of the Stars is only ever unlocked in chapter 3 when Kliff is tasked with going to the Scholastone Academy. This is a pretty short quest in the institute alone, as you will be tasked with helping a professor with his theory, something that unfortunately devolves into chaos when an Abyss portal opens and a floating boss comes out of nowhere.

With that said, once you have come across this main story quest, you will be told to head up to the top of the Spire of the Stars. You will need to take the long staircase to the northeast of the academy, which will bring you up the snowy mountain to the massive building.

Solving the Puzzle

Once you enter the Spire of the Stars, you will see various lit-up panels on the wall, all of which correspond with the devices in the room.

There will be what look like buttons on the wall with lit-up symbols that tie to the lit-up symbols on the east and west walls of the first floor. There are exactly four symbols, two on each side. An angular infinity symbol, a triangular shape, a circle with a red dot in the middle and a square made up of multiple lines.

Their positioning on the walls is very important, so take note:

• Square: First node
• Triangle: Second node
• Circle: Third node
• Infinity: Fourth node

Next to each of the murals will be two large contraptions similar to the ones on the main wall. There’s no good indication of this, but the ones that aren’t lit up on the front, you want to push on them.

These will then open and give you an Engraved Stone. Take these engraved stones and place them on the large panels with the symbols on them. Doing this will lift the diamond-shaped tablet above it to the fourth node.

With the information above, put in each Engraved Stone and climb up on the stones. Hanging on them will drop them down one node. Do this until they are lined up with what the murals instruct.

If, for some reason, you bring a tablet too far down, simply push the button below inward to reset it to the top.

Once this is complete, all you have to do is ride the elevator in the middle of the room up until you reach the top. You will then need to climb a few stairs before progressing to the next portion of the quest.
