The High Temple is where Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy starts throwing some proper puzzles at you. The temple has two separate sunlight puzzles, both built around the same idea: use the giant lenses to redirect sunlight toward the glowing receivers. The first puzzle is fairly straightforward, but the second one adds metal plates, multiple lenses, and even a broken lens to make things considerably more confusing. Here's how to solve both High Temple puzzles in Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy and continue deeper into Minotaur's Island.

Puzzle 1 - High Temple Sunlight

After placing the spherical key into the mechanism, the temple reveals two locations where you need to concentrate the sunlight. You'll also see two giant lenses that you can rotate to redirect the light.

The targets look like shiny, gauntlet-like plates. I'll refer to them as sunlight receivers throughout this guide.

To solve the first puzzle:

  1. Find the two giant lenses around the room.
  2. Rotate the lenses so they redirect the sunlight toward the two sunlight receivers.
  3. Adjust the lenses until both receivers light up.
  4. Once you direct the sunlight to the correct spots, the door opens.
  5. Head through the door to reach the second High Temple puzzle.

This first puzzle doesn't require any complicated sequence. Just follow the path of the sunlight and use the two lenses to point it toward the receivers.

Puzzle 2 - High Temple Sunlight

The second puzzle is where things get a little more interesting.

This room has three gears that you need to activate. There are metal plates that blocks the sunlight from reaching the receivers directly, while one of the lenses is broken.

You'll need to redirect the sunlight through multiple lenses to activate the first two gears. For the third gear, you'll need Leni's help to move the broken lens.

Gear 1 Solution

Gear 1 is the easiest of the three.

Use the available lenses to direct the sunlight straight toward the receiver. You don't need to route the beam through several lenses here.

Follow the sunlight path shown in the diagram and align the lens with the receiver.

Once the sunlight hits the receiver, Gear 1 activates and reveals a painting depicting the bull man.

Gear 2 Solution

Gear 2 requires a little more work because a metal plate blocks the direct path of the sunlight.

You can't simply point the lens at the receiver. Instead, you need to bounce the sunlight through three lenses to get around the obstruction.

Follow this sequence:

  1. Position the first lens so it redirects the sunlight toward the next lens.
  2. Use the second lens to redirect the beam toward the lens on the other side of the room.
  3. From there, direct the sunlight toward the final lens.
  4. Use the final lens to aim the beam at the second sunlight receiver.
  5. Once the receiver lights up, Gear 2 activates.

The important thing here is to think of the sunlight as a chain. If one lens points in the wrong direction, the rest of the path falls apart.

Gear 3 Solution

Gear 3 initially looks impossible because the broken lens prevents you from completing the sunlight path.

After activating the first two gears, Leni will give you a hint about the broken lens. She can help you move it into position.

Here's what you need to do:

  1. Find Leni near the broken lens.
  2. Help Leni lift the broken lens so you can use it to redirect the sunlight.
  3. Return to the lens mechanism.
  4. Adjust the lenses to follow the sunlight path shown in the diagram.
  5. Redirect the beam toward the final sunlight receiver.
  6. Once the beam reaches the receiver, Gear 3 activates.

With all three gears activated, you've completed the second sunlight puzzle.

Tip: Don't worry if the sunlight path looks confusing at first. Focus on one lens at a time and trace where the beam needs to go. The metal plates are there to force you to bounce the light through the available lenses rather than sending it directly to the receiver.

What to Do After Solving the High Temple Puzzles

Once you've activated all three gears, return to the central mechanism and place the spherical key into the lock again. The platform will begin to descend deeper into the temple, taking Sophia and Leni toward another gate. When you reach the gate, use the spherical key again to unlock it.

Pass through the gate, and you'll reach the next part of the story, where Phase 4: "From the Hell It Rose" begins.

The High Temple puzzles are finally behind you. Now things are about to get a lot more interesting.
