Essential Preparation and Initial Checklist

Route Unlocks: Ensure all prerequisite side-quests or NPC conversations (such as with Spirithief Bartholos) are finished to prevent any progression soft-locks.

Persistent Progress: Daily and weekly objectives remain; however, chest progress and Scapegoat puzzle completions are saved throughout Patch 3.7.
Currency Exchange: These puzzles do not yield exclusive banner or gacha pull currencies—the primary focus is on earning achievements and clearing zone content.

Concluding Thoughts & Future Content

Successfully navigating the Golden Scapegoat puzzles in Memortis Shore is indispensable for achieving full Patch 3.7 completion and acquiring unique achievements. Each altar demands meticulous navigation, a solid understanding of the zone, and in some instances, interaction with hidden NPCs to unveil additional puzzle layers.
