How to Solve the Statue Puzzles in Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced's 'The Sage's Buried Secret' Quest

The "The Sage's Buried Secret" quest in Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced, a significant part of the main story, tasks players with solving three distinct statue puzzles within an ancient Mayan temple in Tulum. This quest, initiated automatically after locating James Kidd during the "Nothing is True" mission, requires careful observation and logical deduction rather than combat or traversal skills. Following James Kidd into the temple will guide you to these challenges.

First Statue Puzzle

After the bridge collapses shortly after entering the temple, use the large roots on the left wall to cross the gap. This will lead you to the first statue puzzle. The solution involves interacting with the red and blue statue heads located adjacent to a door. Players need to position them correctly to proceed.

Second Statue Puzzle

Continue following James Kidd until you encounter the second statue puzzle. This puzzle requires manipulating a lever. Push or pull the lever one turn counterclockwise, aligning the red floor tiles directly beneath the red statue head mounted on the wall. Once positioned, climb onto the red statue head and pull it down. Should the statue be placed incorrectly, a gray statue head, situated slightly to the left, can be used to lift the incorrectly placed red statue head. To do this, climb the wall and hang onto the gray statue.

Third Statue Puzzle

Upon reaching a broken door, follow Kidd's lead and descend into the well. Dive underwater and swim towards the southeast. Kidd will then guide you to the third and final statue puzzle. This intricate puzzle involves several steps:

1. Raise the blue statue head on the left by pulling down the gray statue head. This action will allow you to place the blue statue onto the corresponding blue flooring.
2. Use the lever to turn the floor tiles one position counterclockwise, positioning the blue flooring directly beneath the blue statue head.
3. Lower the blue statue head onto the now-aligned blue floor tiles.
4. Use the lever again to turn the flooring one notch counterclockwise.
5. Pull down the gray statue head on the left to lift the red statue head off the green flooring.
6. Employ the lever to rotate the floor one notch clockwise.
7. Lower the green statue head onto the green flooring.
8. Utilize the lever to rotate the floor tiles one more notch clockwise.
9. Finally, place the red statue head onto the red tiles.

Successfully solving this final statue puzzle concludes "The Sage's Buried Secret" quest. The subsequent mission in the game is "Overrun and Outnumbered."
