How to Solve the Moving Cubes Puzzle

To open the concealed chest beside the shifting cubes, form a T-shaped pattern on the wall. Begin by generating a clone in the central slot of the bottom row. Then, descend from the upper platform to illuminate the initial two slots of the right column. While in midair, swiftly dash left to illuminate all the slots in the middle row. Finally, teleport to your Shadow to complete the puzzle.

If you’re curious, the smashing cube puzzle can be found in the Sacred Archives. Seek out a three-by-three grid on the wall distinguished by red circles containing triangles. If you have the Prosperity Bird Amulet, you’ll notice her begin singing and gracefully soaring around the platform as you draw near.

Where Is the Key to Solving the Puzzle?

The key to solving the moving cube puzzle is hidden in the Jailer’s room in the Sacred Archives. Inside this shed, a pattern on the wall indicates which cube slots must be illuminated to unveil the concealed chest.

Fortunately, you aren’t obligated to enter the Jailer’s room or defeat him to crack the puzzle. With the key in hand, you can try solving it by hovering over the designated cubes. Nevertheless, it’s recommended to engage in the Jailer fight, as it rewards you with a special item crucial for exploring other map areas.

You need the Clairvoyance Athra Surge to defeat the Jailer for good.

How to Get Past Cubes

To overcome smashing cubes as obstacles, leverage Sargon’s Sprint and Shadow abilities. When cubes align in a row, your optimal strategy is to either sprint past them or slide through. However, if the situation requires you to ascend one of the cubes, use your clones. Generate a shadow adjacent to the cube’s smashing point and promptly teleport to it before the cube dissipates.
