The Azure Moon Labyrinth puzzle in *Crimson Desert* is a captivating challenge nestled within the ancient ruins of Pywel. As part of the Thread in the Forest challenges, this puzzle invites players to explore and decipher clues rather than engage in combat.
Finding the Labyrinth
To locate the Azure Moon Labyrinth, players must venture into The Witchwoods. A mysterious energy, marked by a question mark on the map, indicates its presence near the Witch’s House. However, the entrance is not visible above ground. Instead, players need to find a hidden ladder inside a small wooden booth at Phoniel Ranch, situated northeast of the Witch’s House, between a couple of destroyed wagons.
Navigating the Underground
Once underground, players will encounter a series of platforms, navigating past flamethrowers and floor traps. The optimal strategy involves sticking close to the left wall to traverse to the next platform. Alternatively, players with sufficient food can absorb damage and use their upgraded Axiom Force to leap across gaps. After overcoming these obstacles, they will arrive at a closed door with a lever, which must be activated to access the puzzle room.
Solving the Puzzle
The puzzle itself consists of eight buttons adorned with various symbols. To unlock the door on the south side of the room, players must press five specific buttons, which can be activated in any order. A crucial hint is provided by a map on the wall outside the puzzle room, depicting a village with five red X’s that correspond to the buttons needed. Players should focus on identifying Pororin Village, located east of the House of Healing, which can be accessed by completing the “Trembling Woods” mission, part of the Pororin Forest Guardian faction quests.
Rewards Await
Successfully solving the Azure Moon Labyrinth puzzle yields two rewards. The first is an abyss cresset, unlocked after opening the southern door, which serves as a fast-travel station. The second reward, the Memory of Tide, is added directly to the player’s inventory and reveals the locations of eight caves in the Alfonso State region of Hernand.
For newcomers to *Crimson Desert*, there are additional guides available to help navigate the expansive world of Pywel, including interactive maps and tips on essential life skills like fishing and cooking. With challenges like the Azure Moon Labyrinth, players can engage deeply with the intricate systems and lore of this vibrant game.
