Entering the Spire of the Sun in Crimson Desert requires you to master a specific Mirror Puzzle. This challenge relies on your ability to reposition light beams to hit a central target. Before you start moving the pieces, you must learn how to shift the Platform units.

You can do this by using a thrust attack with R1 and Triangle, or by combining a Punch with a Light Attack. Your goal for each section of the ruins is to direct every laser toward the final Crystal to unlock the next area.

Aligning the Initial Mirrors

The initial phase of the trial will concentrate on the two primary Platform components.

Use your attacks to push the first one deep into the nearby corner. Once it is in place, move the second one into the opposite corner. These positions will catch the light and start the beam sequence.

You can use the Energy Balls found in the area to enhance the signal if the light is too weak to reach the next point in Crimson Desert.

Completing the Final Sequence

The second part of the puzzle involves more moving parts. Start by sliding a Platform into the specific spot that bounces the beam automatically through several other mirrors. This handles half of the work for you. Next, place two more units on the side to keep the light moving forward.

Finally, find the last Platform at the back and push it into place. This beam of light, now fully focused, strikes the Gem at the pinnacle. When the light touches the Spire of the Sun, it will open, granting access to the inner reaches of Pywel.
