Chapter 4 of Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy is packed with puzzles, and the Spike Trap puzzle is one of the trickier ones. You’ll need to figure out which pressure plates are safe to step on while avoiding the spikes that can instantly punish a wrong move. Clues are scattered throughout the area, but if you don’t know what to look for, it’s easy to get stuck. Here’s how to solve the From Hell It Rose Spike Trap puzzle in Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy.
How to Solve The Spike Trap Puzzle in Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy
To solve the Spike Trap puzzle, you’ll mainly need to use the Key Sphere and the hidden markings on the walls. Shine the Sphere’s light around the area to reveal symbols that indicate which pressure plates and wall slots are safe. For the first few traps, you will want to memorize the correct markings and only step on the correlating plates that match them.
Spike Trap #1
For the first trap, the markings on the left-side plates match the symbols shown on the wall. This tells you that those plates are safe, so stick to the left as you cross the room and continue toward the second trap.
Spike Trap #2
The second trap works almost exactly the same way. Shine the Key Sphere’s light across the pressure plates, then compare the revealed markings with the symbols shown on the wall or in the book.
For this section, the safe plates are top-middle, center, right-middle, and bottom-right. Step only on these plates to cross the trap without triggering the spikes.
Spike Trap #3
The third trap works a little differently, but the basic idea is still the same. Equip the Key Sphere and sweep its light across the walls to reveal the hidden markings. This time, you’ll notice a small hole beneath each set of symbols. Check the markings and look for the one that matches any of the four symbols you found earlier. In this case, insert the Key Sphere into the hole on the left wall directly ahead of you.
Spike Room puzzle
Enter the spike room puzzle.
The Spike Room puzzle combines several mechanics from the earlier trial-door challenges, including the Lens Puzzle, Pedestal Symbol Puzzle, and Maze Puzzle.
Head to the left side and help Leni climb onto the upper platform with the lens. Once she is in position, drop down onto the spike-covered pressure plates below.
Equip the Key Sphere and hold it up to reveal a glowing line running across the floor. This line marks the safe route through the room. Follow it carefully from plate to plate, and avoid stepping on any tile the line does not pass through. Touching the wrong plate triggers the spikes and forces you to restart the section.
You do not need to rush, so keep the Key Sphere active whenever you are unsure where the path continues. Once you safely reach the opposite side, break the wooden planks blocking the way on the left. After clearing them, help Leni climb up to complete the Spike Room section and continue through the trial!
