The pathless puzzle guide how to#

You’ll have to sneak past the area guardian’s line of sight to get to your eagle, and getting caught in its cone of vision will make you lose any yellow crystals you’ve collected much like Sonic loses his rings whenever he gets hit. Stay away from that huge ominous red orb of doom at all costs, as getting caught in the thick of it will rip your eagle companion away from you. But once you figure it out, the puzzles of this variety actually become pretty repetitive.

The first time I encountered this kind of puzzle, it had me running around not knowing what to do for hours.

Some of them will have you trying to angle the camera just right so that you can shoot lighted fire pillars and have your arrow ricochet to hit another unlighted pillar in the distance. The puzzles will mostly have you aligning hoops you can shoot your arrow through with the help of your eagle, or calling your eagle to carry weights you need to drop onto raised platforms on the ground. Being the tallest structure in every area, an Obelisk provides the best vantage point for you to see where you need to go. Ride the rope up to the very top and use your Spirit Mask from there. To maximize your Spirit vision at the start of every area, immediately run to an Obelisk, which is a towering, well, tower with an Eye of Sauron-esque red orb at the top. Activating it tints your vision with a bluish monotone, allowing you to see clearly the different points of interest in the distance, which will have a glowing red aura. In The Pathless, your Spirit Mask is your friend.

To save you some time gliding all over the place aimlessly, we’ve figured out how to make paths in The Pathless easier for you. The game doesn’t give you any maps or navigational tools to find your way, so you’re immediately thrust into this wide, wide world with absolutely nothing. The Pathless tells you that there’s no one true path to salvation, and it’s pretty accurate-literally and figuratively.
