How to Complete the Precipice of Echoes Tile Puzzle in Crimson Desert

Select Language:

Open-world exploration games like Crimson Desert offer some of the best value in gaming today. These titles feature a lot of side activities both during and after completing the main story, making them worth your time. This game takes that concept even further.

Many players find that the side content appeals more than the main storyline. As you traverse the map, you’ll encounter various ancient ruins, such as the Precipice of Echoes. Often, these locations require solving small puzzles to retrieve artifacts, adding extra challenge and fun.

Where to Find the Precipice of Echoes

If you haven’t discovered the Precipice of Echoes ruins yet but want more artifacts, head southwest from the main city of Hernand where you start after the tutorial. To the south of Hernand, a small river runs across the land. Follow this river to the left; it will guide you southwest. Soon, you’ll arrive at Fort Perwin, controlled by Bleed Bandits. From there, go south, and you’ll come across the ruins shortly after entering the land from the river.

How to Solve the Precipice of Echoes Puzzle

Once at the Precipice of Echoes, you’ll see a series of tiles on the ground, with one tile raised above the others. The goal is to create a path through these tiles that connects pairs of identical symbols. The first part of the puzzle has only one pair, so it’s straightforward—you just walk directly across the matching tiles.

However, later parts involve multiple pairs, and you cannot step on the same tile twice. The puzzle resets if you do, or if you walk off the grid before completing it. After connecting two matching symbols, your next move should direct you to a tile with another symbol.

To make it easier, here are step-by-step directions for each part, assuming you start near the initial elevated tile and face the entrance to the artifact room:

Part Two:
Down – Down – Down – Down – Right – Up five times – Left – Left – Down five times – Left – Up five times – Right five times – Down – Down

Part Three:
Down – Down – Left – Down – Left – Up three times – Left – Left – Down three times – Left – Up four times – Right five times – Up – Left six times – Down six times – Right three times – Up until the puzzle is finished

Following these steps carefully will help you solve the puzzle and access the artifacts hidden within.
