Solve the Spire of the Stars elevator puzzle in Crimson Desert by finding 3 cubes and aligning symbols. Use Palm Force (R3 / Right Stick) to activate mechanisms.
To progress through the Main Quest in Chapter 4, you must reach the top of the Spire of the Stars. This involves solving an elevator puzzle.
Step 1: Grab the 3 small cubes
After entering the Spire of the Stars, locate the 3 yellow walls in the side rooms. Use Palm Force (R3 / Right Stick) on these walls, which are marked with a purple icon on the minimap. Hitting these walls will reveal small cubes that you can pick up. Collect all 3 cubes and insert them into the wall sockets located in front of the elevator.
Step 2: Align the 4 Elevator Symbols
Once the cubes are in place, hit the activated wall sockets with Palm Force (R3 / Right Stick) to push them upwards. You then need to climb up to the symbols and hang onto them. They will slide down into their correct positions. The correct positions are shown on the walls in the side rooms.
- Left Symbol = top slot
- 2nd from left Symbol = 3rd slot from bottom
- 3rd from left Symbol = bottom slot
- Right Symbol = 2nd slot from bottom
When the symbols are correctly aligned, they will stop glowing yellow, and the floor will turn blue. Step onto the elevator, and it will activate, taking you to the top. Exit the elevator quickly, as it will descend again if you wait too long. Continue upstairs to enter the Abyss on the top floor.
