In Honkai: Star Rail, the Abyss of Fate Janusopolis features puzzles that are tied to the Oronyx’s Scales mechanism. These puzzles require players to manipulate elements within the environment to unlock new areas and advance through the challenges.
One notable aspect involves the use of Oronyx’s Scales, where players need to balance and adjust the scales in order to interact with key objects or activate specific mechanisms. Successfully solving these puzzles helps progress the story and rewards players with valuable items, enhancing the overall gameplay experience.
Understanding Oronyx’s Puzzle
Oronyx’s puzzle revolves around balancing a set of scales. To complete Oronyx’s trial you will have to look for a suitable weight and place it on the right side of the scale to balance it out. Here’s what you’ll need to do:
- Use the Scales of Justice in the map to complete Oronyx’s test
- Control the Hand of Zagreus to find and take the appropriately weighted items available in the map, then place them on the plate on the right side of the scale to try to solve Oronyx’s puzzle.
- You will find stone platforms throughout the map that will help you control the Hand of Zagreus.
Solving Oronyx’s Puzzle
The puzzle requires you to “find something that has more weight… than the fate of the world” to balance the item on the left side of the weighing plate which “represents the fate of Amphoreus”. Here’s how you can solve the puzzle easily in just a few steps:
- You can try using the Hand of Zagreus and put different items on the weighing plate to balance the scale but that won’t necessarily work.
- Look for a gate behind which you’ll find an item that looks exactly like the one that’s on the left side of the scale.
- After finding the gate, you’ll find the path to it is blocked with some wooden boxes but that’s nothing to worry about, you can use the Miracle Orb here.
- Remember, some orbs can shine at one of the multiple selectable areas. After activating the orb, click the yellow circular marking on the screen to change the direction of the orb.
- Use the Miracle Orb on the objects blocking the path to clear your way and then, you’re good to go.
- After you reach the gate, you’ll come across a Prophecy Tablet that will ask you to “Assemble the fragments and form the objective’s image” to unlock the gate. You can take help from images below to assemble the fragments:
- Once the fragments are properly assembled, the gate will be unlocked and you can then use the Hand of Zagreus to take the item from behind the gate and place it on the right side of the scale to solve Oronyx’s puzzle.
- After the puzzle is solved, as promised by Oronyx, the path will be opened for you.
Conclusion: In Honkai: Star Rail, the Abyss of Fate Janusopolis presents players with the engaging Oronyx’s Scales puzzle, blending strategy and exploration. By balancing the scales, clearing obstacles with the Miracle Orb, and solving the Prophecy Tablet, players unlock new paths, rewarding both persistence and ingenuity, enriching the game’s immersive experience.
