Overview
The Drakesfall Gorge Ruins puzzle is an Ancient Ruins challenge that plays like a "Red Light, Green Light" minigame. Players must walk past soldier statues and reach the king statue at the far end without being caught moving.
Location
In the open space of Drakesfall Gorge, on the plateau near the camp with Hernand soldiers, close to the Demeniss border. Look for the Mysterious Energy marker on your map; the hallway structure is easier to spot from higher ground.
Step-by-Step Solution
Step onto the stone platform at the far end of the area (opposite the Abyss Cresset). The soldier statues will raise their swords, signaling the puzzle has started.
Begin walking toward the king statue at the opposite end of the hallway.
The king statue periodically turns its head to look for you. When its eyes light up, stop moving immediately. Do not touch any directional input.
If the statue catches you moving, its eyes turn red and you are sent back to the starting platform.
Continue advancing during safe windows (when the statue is looking away). Reach the Abyss Cresset at the far end without being spotted to complete the puzzle.
Tips
Stop early rather than late. There is a brief delay between the statue turning and its detection activating, but cutting it close will often result in a reset.
Sprint during the safe windows to cover as much ground as possible, but leave enough time to stop before the next check.
This puzzle is a reference to the "Red Light, Green Light" game from Squid Game.
Rewards
