Sea of Stars draws heavily from its classic JRPG inspiration, presenting players with an open world full of mysteries, monsters, and puzzles. Solving these puzzles is vital to unlocking the full power of Sea of Stars' two protagonists, and the Solstice Shrine on Evermist Island is no exception.
Before players can attempt the Solstice Shrine puzzle on Evermist Island, they'll first have to have received the Evermist Shrine Key, which they will receive as part of the main storyline in Mirth. Once they've got the key, they can head straight to the Shrine on the eastern side of Evermist Island.
Sea of Stars: All Flimsy Hammer Locations (and What to Do With Them)
There are a total of three flimsy hammers in the RPG Sea of Stars, and it is not immediately obvious how to use these weird objects.
How to Solve the Solstice Shrine Puzzle on Evermist Island
Each Solstice Shrine puzzle in Sea of Stars is different. The Evermist Island puzzle requires players to move a purple block from a start point to an end point along a specific route. Players can do this by manipulating the other blocks in the puzzle area, which serve as walls to stop the purple block from sliding too far. The correct route for the Evermist Island Solstice Shrine can be found on the wall above the puzzle, and is Up, Left, Left, Up, Right, Up, Up.
To move the purple block in this way, players will need to move it and the two gray blocks in the following order:
- Push the top gray block to the left, then down, then to the right.
- Push the purple block up, then left so that it hits the gray block on the left.
- Push the gray block on the left up, then push the gray block on the right up and left. The two gray blocks should now be side by side.
- Push the purple block up.
- Push the gray block on the left down and right, then push the other gray block right.
- Push the gray block at the bottom up so that it's underneath the other gray block.
- Push the purple block to the right, then up to complete the puzzle.
Rewards for the Solstice Shrine on Evermist Island
Completing the puzzle will open a hidden area, allowing players to collect their reward from a treasure chest. The reward for the Evermist Island Shrine is the Scroll of Soonrang, which unlocks a new combo skill for Valere and Zale. Soonrang is a powerful combo skill that adds Zale's sun damage to Valere's Moonerang ability, allowing players with good timing to deal huge amounts of sun and moon damage for the relatively low cost of 2CP.
As well as the immediate reward of the Scroll of Soonrang, completing the Solstice Shrine on Evermist Island is also a requirement for unlocking the secret portal that can be found on the island's Mountain Trail. Once players have solved all the Solstice Shrines, they'll be able to enter the portal and unlock a hidden boss fight, with the final reward being a powerful weapon for Zale.
