In Chapter 3, inside the Tower of Judgement, you will find the Sun Puzzles. The main goal in all of the puzzles is to place the heads in such a way that they are not touching the sun. When you reach the first puzzle, you will find a note from Marea that says, “For only by isolating The Sun can the righteous be preserved.” This line is the main clue for solving the puzzle.

Sun Mechanism Puzzle – 1

For the first puzzle, rearrange a few rows and columns so that the suns are separated from the faces.

• Move the second row up to the first row.

• Move the fourth row down to the fifth row.

• Swap the first column with the second column.

• Swap the fourth column with the fifth column.

Once you have done that, the suns will be isolated, and you can go to the next floor.

Sun Mechanism Puzzle – 2

The second puzzle works the same as the first puzzle. However, this time there is a new symbol – Anchor. The Anchor will cancel out the sun’s effect on any faces that are next to it or connected to it. So, you don’t need to separate the suns and position the faces carefully, such that the Anchor blocks the sun’s influence.

• Swap the third column with the fourth column.

• Swap the second column with the fifth column.

• Move the second row down to the first row.

• Move the third row down to the second row.

• Move the fourth row down to the third row.

After moving everything down by one row, the puzzle will be solved.

Sun Mechanism Puzzle – 3 

The third sun puzzle gives you the chance to not only move the faces, but you can also move the suns and the Anchors this time. 

• Move the fourth row up to the first row.

• Move the third column to the first column. This puts the single sun in the top-left corner.

• Move the third row down to the fourth row. This will swap the two suns with the two anchors.

• Swap the fourth column with the fifth column.

• Swap the second column with the third column.

After you solve the puzzle, a cutscene will play, and the floating mechanism will open up. Inside, you will see a body. Walk up to it and interact with it to get the knowledge. After you do it, you will unlock the Lever of the Sun and can continue forward.
