Crimson Desert Precipice of Echoes puzzle solution

Upon approaching the Precipice of Echoes (these are the Ancient Ruins that are south of Fort Perwin), exercise caution as the surrounding areas are full of hostile Bleed Bandits who won’t hesitate to kill you.

Inside the Ruins itself however, you’ll see a large square grid with every square featuring a small blue light. The first square also contains a sigil. If you stand on the square with the sigil, a second sigil will be revealed a few blocks ahead.

If you then walk straight onto the second sigil square, you’ll see that three more sigils are revealed. Now, your goal with this puzzle is to create a path between all of the sigils without ever standing on the same square twice.

This means that if you create a direct, straight path between the first sigil and the second, you can’t then walk across that path or onto those square blocks again.

It’s also worth noting that if your path across the squares is invalid, they will all light up red. Step off the puzzle to quickly reset it; no reloads needed for once!

Here’s exactly what path you need to take to solve the first portion of the Precipice of Echoes puzzle. All of these instructions are assuming you’re facing the sealed door opposite the Ruins’ entrance:

1. Stand on the first sigil and walk four blocks forward onto the second sigil. This is actually the starting point for the puzzle.
2. Walk four blocks downwards onto the first sigil again.
3. Head one block right, onto the sigil that looks like a small fish bone.
4. Head five blocks forward and two blocks left. You will be on the block that is diagonal to the second sigil you stood on now.
5. Head downwards five blocks so that you’re beside the first sigil again.
6. Head left one block to stand on another sigil resembling a fish bone.
7. Head forwards one block to stand on the triangular, spiral sigil.
8. Head forwards five more blocks to reach the top row of the puzzle.
9. Head right by five blocks and down by two blocks to reach the final sigil.

To summarise, here’s the entire path drawn onto the board for you:

Once the first path is completed, you sadly have to make a second path on the board between some new sigils, and if you mess up, you’ll need to redo the first path all over again…

Here’s exactly what path you need to take this time around, step by step, and the instructions below assume you are facing the sealed door opposite the ruins entrance still.

1. From the first sigil, head four blocks to the left and two blocks down.
2. Head three blocks to the right, onto the triangular spiral symbol.
3. Head downwards one block and onto the sigil resembling a fish bone.
4. Head left three blocks, onto another fish bone-like sigil.
5. Head left once more, onto the Z-shaped sigil.
6. Go upwards (towards the sealed door) for four blocks.
7. Head right five blocks, reaching the edge of the puzzle.
8. Head upwards one block to reach another Z-shaped sigil.
9. Head left onto the sigil that features three waves.
10. Head left five blocks, reaching the edge of the puzzle again.
11. Go downwards to the opposite corner of the puzzle.
12. Go right two blocks and onto the wave sigil, then right once more onto another sigil.
13. You’ll see where this is going. Head right to the edge of the puzzle, then upwards and left to the final sigil; you can’t really mess this part up as the only remaining available blocks make up our path.

To summarise, here’s the entire path drawn onto the board for you:

Once both paths have been correctly inputted, the sealed door opposite the Ruins’ entrance will open and reveal a glowing blue podium containing your reward: an Abyss Cresset.
