First Trial Spike Trap puzzle solutions in Resonance A Plague Tale Legacy

There are multiple spike traps for you to navigate in this portion if you want to get to the next stage of the trial. Each one is trickier than the last. Fortunately, you have Leni and a rather interesting orb to help you navigate them safely.

Part One

For this first part you need to find the correct squares to walk on without getting skewered. To do this, carefully stand at the edge of the panels on the floor and then use orb's Light Reveal ability on the walls either side of the panels. Sophia will then write them down in your book for ease.

For this particular puzzle, you need to get across multiple sections safely - so these four symbols are important! Think of them as your 'safe' symbols - if you tread on these or interact with these, you won't get speared.

Section one:

To get across the first trap, you need to walk on the panels on the far left side against the wall. Keep following these straight across (you should notice they are the symbol with a circle on a stick).

Section two:

In the next section, start on the far right side and move forward two squares. Stop and then move left one square, before moving forward one square to get to safety. Again, if you use your Light Reveal you should notice these are all the symbols in Sophia's book.

Section three:

In this next part, you need to get across a Spike Wall. Do not go racing ahead and do not put your orb in any random hole you find on the walls either side of you - you will get impaled, it will hurt.

Instead, use Light Reveal to find the weighing scales-like symbol (just like the one in Sophia’s book).

This marks the end of one part of the multi-part spike traps. You’ve still got a way to go!

Part Two

Continue following the path forwards to find the next spike trap puzzle in a large room. The entire floor here is made of spike traps and you’ll need to find the right, and safe, path to the other side.

The first thing you need to do is follow the platform you’re on around to the left side of the puzzle and drop down beneath the lens on the platform here. When prompted, use the command to boost Leni up to the lens.

Once Leni is there, carefully make your way around to the ground beneath the entrance (do not stand on the panels, you will be impaled).

From here, activate Light Reveal and start at the fourth panel from the left. You should see the blue line on it here. Follow the path laid out by the blue line until you come to your first wall block.

These walls are dotted throughout the puzzle and will stop your Light Reveal working. I highly recommend keeping an eye on the path a few panels ahead of you, as well as the one directly in front of you, while this ability is active.

Here's how to get past the first wall block:

• Move one panel in front (this will make the curled up skeleton south-east of your position).
• Continue following the path right for four panels.
• The light returns.

From here, continue using Light Reveal until you reach the second wall block. Here’s how to get past this one:

• Continue straight for three panels.
• Move left for one panel.
• The light returns.

Again, continue using Light Reveal until you reach the next obstacle. Here’s how to get past the third wall block:

• Move forward two panels.
• Move left two panels.
• The light returns.

At this point you can continue using Light Reveal to follow the blue path to the other side of the puzzle. You’ll hit a final fourth wall block near the end, but you simply need to head straight to get past this one safely.
