The Spire of the Stars quest in Crimson Desert features a puzzle that you must solve to activate a lift and reach the top of the tower. This guide explains everything clearly so you can complete the puzzle for the quest ” Spire of the Stars” in Crimson Desert.
Step 1: Activate the Engraved Stone Nodes
When you enter the building, you will immediately notice the inactive lift in the center that requires engraved stones to power the mechanism.
These engraved stones can be obtained by activating the nodes in the room. Head to the left side of the room and look for a closed node. Use your Force Palm ability on each inactive node to make them open. When you hit a node, it will rotate and reveal an engraved stone inside.
Next, head to the opposite side of the room and repeat the process by activating another node with Force Palm to obtain the second and third stone.
Step 2: Insert the Engraved Stones
Once you have all the stones, head to the central area of the room with the elevator.
- There are 3 engraved stones and 4 slots, so one slot will remain empty. Insert the stones into the correct slots as per the image.
- Each time you place a stone, a vertical handle or platform will rise. After placing all three stones correctly, the platforms will move into position.
Step 3: Understand the Symbol Positions
Now you need to align the symbols correctly to power the lift. Each symbol must match the position shown on nearby walls.
Here’s the correct placement:
- Hourglass symbol → Top position
- Triangle symbol → Second from the bottom
- Circle symbol → Third from the bottom (already correct by default)
- Square symbol → Bottom position
Step 4: Adjust the Platforms
To move each symbol into place:
- Climb onto the moving handle/platform and hold on as it moves up or down. Then, release at the correct level to lock it in position.
Step 5: Activate the Lift
Once all symbols are correctly aligned, the system will activate automatically and power on the lift in the center. Step onto the middle platform, and it will carry you up to the top of the Spire.
