Crimson Desert Halssius Conflux Ruins puzzle solution

Upon arriving at the Halssius Conflux puzzle in Crimson Desert, have a look around as there’s a lot to take in.

First, there’s a large angel statue surrounded by stone flooring with sigils carved into it, and a metal grate atop them. Surrounding the angel statue, there are some smaller statues holding golden items. These will be important shortly.

Stand on the stone floor that surrounds the statue of the angel. Doing so will kick off the puzzle, prompting the angel statue to fire a beam of light at the statue holding the shield.

Now, the goal with this puzzle is to move the metal grate on the floor so that it surrounds sigils that correspond with whatever golden item the angel statue is firing a beam of light at. You’ll need to do this three times with each round of the puzzle growing in difficulty (by adding more rows of sigils into the mixer).

For example, for the first portion of this puzzle, you want to move the grate so that it surrounds the circular shield sigil (as the angel statue’s beam of light is currently pointing towards a statue with a golden shield).

You can quickly reset the puzzle if need be by running 100 meters away and waiting 30 seconds or so before returning.

Additionally, to be able to move the grate onto the necessary sigils, you’ll need to use your Nature’s Grasp ability to move the broken stone columns that are lying around on the puzzle. You can use Nature’s Grasp by pressing ‘Triangle + Circle’ on PlayStation or ‘Y + B’ on Xbox.

To then actually move the metal grate, you need to use your stab ability on the small black pillar connected to it, which you can do by facing the pillar and pressing ‘R1 + Triangle’ on PlayStation or ‘R1 + Y’ on Xbox.

For all three rounds of the puzzle, here’s exactly what sigils the metal grate needs to surround:

1. Shield
2. Scales, Jug, and Lyre – the Jug/Lyre should be on the top row, while the Scales are on the bottom row.
3. Horse, Shield, Horse, Jug, Scales, and Lyre – the Jug/Scales/Lyre should be on the top row, with the Shield/Horse in the middle row, and a second Horse on the bottom row.

Once you’ve successfully completed all three rounds of the puzzle, the base of the angel statue will open to reveal a glowing blue podium that holds your reward: an Abyss Cresset.
