How To Solve Bastille Of Intellect Puzzles

Get to a vantage point where all puzzle cores are in view and watch. You’ll notice a repeating pattern where the Puzzle Cores emit a small spark of light and a small sound one after the other. To solve,memorize the order in which the cores emit light and interact with them in that order. If done correctly, you’ll be immediately greeted with fanfare and a now-absent barrier. Interact with the treasure chest or collectible within to add it to your inventory.

If you get the order wrong, it’ll become immediately obvious as new enemies will spawn in to attack you. If the player defeats the enemies, the puzzle cores will reset, giving the player another chance at solving. Sometimes, the puzzle core obelisks that need to be interacted with may seem out of reach, but there’s always a way. Using your umbrella, your climbing picks, or maybe even getting the aid of another player.
