How To Find The Sumeru Puzzle Challenge

This is the location where you will need to go in order to start this puzzle. It is just on the northwest of The Mausoleum of Deshret. There will be a very big hole inside in which you will need to jump inside. Make sure to glide because you can die from the fall damage.

While going through the main tunnel you will spot a floating orb that you need to pick up to open up the gate. You will pick it up and then walk on the tile to activate it.

Then once you activate it a Release Orb structure will appear. Hit Release on it to get the orb to run free. Follow it now. Just time it right so that the air passage doesn’t destroy it.

Then it will get in front of the other air passage. Time it correct so that it doesn’t get destroyed by it too. Release the Orb once again once the air passage is finished.

The Orb will hit the statue in the middle and you’ll get a chest. Now go back and pick up the other floating orb that’s there. Go up the air passage and activate the other one that is shown in the picture above. Once you activate it, Tuch the Cell to reveal a hole in the wall.

Use the air passage to get up. Once up you will find another floating orb. Pick it up and enter the little hole that is next to it. You will get to another tile for activating now. Careful though because a scorpion will attack you out of nowhere.

Once you activate it you will need to go up since a new way will upon up. Use the air passage and climb to the top floor. You can enter the little room and see the Challenge in the middle of it.

How To Complete The Challenge

You will need to collect a total of 40 Particles in under 300 seconds to finish it. That is the basic objective of it. You will see the particles. You will want to start collecting them from the one closest to you to the one furthest away. You will start climbing on an invisible wall.

Once you get to the first floor simply Touch the Cell and it will activate the whole floor.

You will want to go to the left as shown in the picture above. Then once there you will make a circle and collect the ones on the right from behind. This way you do not fall down. As you keep going you will go left and right collecting all particles. When you come to the stairs climb up on them and you’ll finish the challenge.

Now just go up the elevator that got down. Once at the top you will click on the Button and a cutscene will appear. You will make a small lake appear in the sand in front of the temple.

And that’s everything that you should know about the North West Locked Pyramid Castle! We hope that this guide has helped you out complete this difficult puzzle. Good luck!
