Conquering the Nightmare’s Echo: Great Tomb Puzzles – Golden Scapegoat & Prophecy Tablet Solutions (HSR 3.7)
Version 3.7 of Honkai: Star Rail introduces players to some of its most intricate and rewarding challenges yet through the Nightmare’s Echo event. Situated within the sprawling Great Tomb of the Nameless Titan, this activity presents Trailblazers with four unique Golden Scapegoat logic puzzles and a singular Prophecy Tablet spatial challenge. Far from mere diversions, successful completion of these trials yields invaluable materials and Stellar Jades, specifically curated to benefit seasoned players aiming to conquer high-level content like Memory of Chaos.
This comprehensive guide will detail the optimal solutions for each puzzle, clarify their underlying mechanics, and explain why mastering these paths is crucial for maximizing your roster’s potential and improving your performance in demanding endgame scenarios.

Golden Scapegoat Puzzle Walkthroughs (HSR 3.7)
Each Golden Scapegoat puzzle demands precise movement to activate altars in a specific sequence while carefully evading your own spectral “past self.” Any misstep results in a full reset. As these puzzles escalate in complexity, mistakes can consume precious event stamina and valuable time – critical considerations for free-to-play and budget-conscious players strategizing for additional warps.
Puzzle #1: Abandoned Matrix of Disorder (Southern Sector)
- Activation Sequence:
- Left, Left, Down, Right, Right, Right, Down, Right, Right
- Route to Altar (Avoiding Your Echo):
- Right, Right, Right, Right, Down, Right, Right, Right
Expert Tip: Strategically hugging the map’s edges until your past self changes direction is often effective. Utilize the in-game path overlays to meticulously plan your trajectory, minimizing potential overlaps – a habit that proves useful in navigating complex Rotating Maze stages within Simulated Universe: Beta.
Puzzle #2: Forsaken Realm Platform (Western Sector)
- Activation Sequence:
- Left, Left, Left, Left, Left
- Altar Access (Clear Path):
- Right, Up, Right, Right, Right, Right
Strategic Insight: Difficult turns in Memory of Chaos can often be mitigated by adopting a similar approach to movement systems – anticipating your next two nodes. Apply this foresight to optimize Breaking Priority rotations for characters like Seele, Dr. Ratio, or Argenti in speedrun compositions.
Puzzle #3: Forsaken Realm Platform (Utilizing Mistletoe, Western Platform)
- Activation Sequence:
- Right, Right, Right, Left, Left, Up, Left
- Altar Access (Secure Path):
- Left, Up, Down, Up, Right, Right, Right, Right, Right, Right
The ability to dynamically adjust your route mid-sequence in these puzzles mirrors the necessity of adapting to enemy action manipulation in high-difficulty Simulated Universe runs (e.g., crafting effective Kafka/Black Swan setups for Remembrance/Destruction SU6).
Puzzle #4: Abandoned Matrix of Disorder (Southwest Sector/North of Puzzle 3)
- Activation Sequence:
- Left, Left, Left, Left, Left, Up
- Altar Access (Safe Passage):
- Right, Right, Right, Right, Right, Right, Right, Right
Efficiency Reminder: Upon successful completion, consider immediately tackling any nearby side quests or missions to secure additional Stellar Jade before the daily reset. This is a key practice for maximizing your pull potential ahead of upcoming banner rotations (refer to the in-game schedule).
Prophecy Tablet Puzzle Solution (Nightmare’s Echo, Great Tomb)
This particular tablet challenge necessitates the precise spatial arrangement of several colored squares:
- Central Piece: Position the largest (red) square directly in the middle.
- Upper Quadrant (Blue): Elevate this piece to the top corner.
- Lower Quadrant (Green): Align this piece with the bottom corner.
- Left Segment (Purple): Shift its right edge to meet the smallest rightmost square in the central formation.
- Right Segment (Orange): Maneuver its left corner to touch the smallest leftmost square of the central configuration.
We advise a slow, methodical approach to manipulation. Hasty actions leading to failures will deplete Mistletoe charges and waste time, negatively impacting your overall event clear efficiency.
Visual Aid Recommendation:– Alt text: “Detailed grid illustration showcasing the final solved arrangement of each distinct colored square within the Prophecy Tablet puzzle.”- Purpose: Provides a clear visual reference of the correct layout, significantly reducing trial-and-error.
Event Rewards & Pre-Challenge Checklist
| Objective | Reward Type |
|---|---|
| Solve each Scapegoat puzzle | Stellar Jade x30+ |
| Complete the Prophecy Tablet | Trace/Reliquary materials |
| Achieve 100% area exploration | Character EXP items |
| Full event clear (all puzzles) | Final rare treasure chest |
Pre-Event Preparation:– Ensure the event area has been unlocked via the primary storyline quest. Confirm that the Mistletoe ability is available for aerial traversal.- Prioritize refreshing your daily Mistletoe charges before the UTC+8 server reset.
Endgame Relevance (Memory of Chaos/Pure Fiction)
Resource Optimization: Every acquisition of Stellar Jade and upgrade material holds significant value for constructing potent endgame teams, especially as power creep within Memory of Chaos continues to evolve. These event puzzles, now a staple since Version 3.7, are subtly designed to refine players’ sequencing and movement logic – skills directly transferable to efficiently breaking boss shields or staggering formidable elites in both Memory of Chaos and Pure Fiction.
Synergistic Team Building: Successfully completing these challenges provides materials crucial for optimizing recent units like Robin or Jade (if currently featured). Free-to-play Trailblazers aiming to maximize their gains during the event window should ensure these puzzles are cleared before committing valuable farmed resources, particularly with new character banners on the horizon.
Conclusion: The Future of Puzzle Events in HSR
The Nightmare’s Echo Tomb is more than just a test of patience; it functions as a proving ground for mechanics that directly influence meta performance. As intricately designed puzzle events and complex node sequencing become more prevalent in HoYoverse’s development roadmap, expect a deeper integration between supplementary content and the pinnacle challenges of Memory of Chaos and Simulated Universe. Trailblazers who master these logical tests now will be exceptionally well-prepared for the challenges presented in future game updates.
