Players navigating the initial stages of Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy will encounter several challenging puzzles, including intricate spike trap sequences and a light-manipulating wall mechanism. These obstacles are part of the game's first trial in Chapter 4, requiring careful observation and precise execution to overcome.
First Trial Spike Trap Solutions
The spike trap puzzles demand players to tread cautiously, utilizing Sophia's abilities and environmental clues to find safe paths. In the first section of the spike traps, players must identify specific floor panels marked with a circle on a stick. Following these panels along the far left side of the path is the secure route.
The subsequent section involves a more complex floor pattern. Players should begin on the far right, advance two squares, move one square left, and then proceed one square forward to reach safety. Throughout these puzzles, Sophia's 'Light Reveal' ability can highlight the correct symbols in her book, which correspond to safe passage.
For a spike wall segment, players should use 'Light Reveal' to locate a weighing scale-like symbol. This symbol, appearing in Sophia's notebook, indicates the correct interaction point. The notes suggest the third hole from the left, nearest the spike trap, is the correct activation point.
A more extensive spike trap puzzle appears in a large room where the entire floor is hazardous. To begin, players must follow a platform to the left and drop beneath a lens. Sophia's companion, Leni, can be boosted to this lens. Players should then move to the ground beneath the entrance, avoiding the hazardous panels.
Using 'Light Reveal' from this position, players start on the fourth panel from the left, following a blue line that indicates the safe path. This path is periodically interrupted by wall blocks that disrupt the 'Light Reveal' ability. When these walls appear, players must carefully observe the panels a few steps ahead, as well as the one directly in front, to maintain the correct route.
To pass the first wall block, players should move one panel forward (towards a curled-up skeleton), then proceed four panels to the right. After the second wall block, the path involves moving straight for three panels, then one panel left. For the third wall block, players advance two panels forward, then two panels left. The path eventually leads to a final, fourth wall block near the end, which is bypassed by moving straight ahead.
First Trial Wall Puzzle Solution
The second major obstacle in the first trial is a wall puzzle that requires redirecting light to unlock a door. To initiate this puzzle, players must first use steps to reach a pressure switch located above the entrance to the puzzle area. Stepping off this switch prompts Leni to stand on it, activating a beam of light.
Players then need to interact with a lens positioned to the right of the pressure switch. This lens should be rotated to face a diagonally opposite lens located behind another wall. Next, the beam of light hitting the newly angled lens must be redirected to the lens that was just positioned. This action establishes a connection between the various lenses in the area.
Finally, players follow the light beam until it reaches the last lens. A slight adjustment to this final lens to aim the beam at the center of the door will unlock it.
