Let’s see what you must do to activate the elevator!
How to Complete the Crimson Desert Spire of the Stars Elevator Puzzle
The quest begins once you finish the previous quest, Gate to the Underworld. To complete the Spire of the Stars quest, you must:
- Go to the Spire of the Stars gate.
- Reach the top of the Spire of the Stars (complete the elevator puzzle).
How to Reach the Spire of the Stars Gate
The first objective requires you to reach the Spire at the top of a mountain. You must find the stairs that lead to the location. Go through the Scholastone Institute building and exit to reach the stone stairs.

Follow the stairs and you will reach a cave entrance. You have two options. Follow the main path through the cave or use your abilities to climb the mountain.

Eventually, you will arrive at a large gate. Use the artifact and open the door. Enter the room and notice the inactive elevator.

The next objective tells you to reach the top, but gives you no indication on how to achieve this task. You must solve a puzzle and activate the elevator. Go to the left side of the room and use Force Palm to rotate the panel, revealing an Engraved Stone.

Now, go to the right side and repeat the process to collect two more cubes. Once you’ve collected the three cubes, go to the main Crimson Desert Spire of the Stars puzzle mechanism and insert the cubes from left to right:
- One cube goes in the first slot.
- One cube goes in the third slot.
- One cube goes in the fourth slot.

Examine the murals on both sides of the room. They show the puzzle configuration.

To solve the puzzle, you need to replicate the design. The first tile stays in the top position. Climb and grab onto the other three tiles to move their position:
- Drag the circle tile down one position.
- Drag the square tile down three positions.
- Drag the triangle tile down two positions.

If you move a tile in the wrong position, drag it all the way down and punch the slot where you inserted the cube to reset its position. You can now ride the elevator and reach the top of the Spire of the Stars.
