How to Solve the Crystal Puzzle in Find The Needle
To solve the Crystal Puzzle in Chapter 2, count the exact number of Red, Green, and Purple glowing crystals protruding from the walls and ceiling of the secret puzzle room. Then, interact with the corresponding Red, Green, and Purple pedestals in the center of the room to match the exact tally for each color. The crystal counts are randomized every game.
Crystal Pedestal Alignment
- Red Pedestal (Left) -> Enter total count of Red wall/ceiling crystals.
- Green Pedestal (Center) -> Enter total count of Green wall/ceiling crystals.
- Purple Pedestal (Right) -> Enter total count of Purple wall/ceiling crystals.
- Status: Glowing pedestals lock when accurate.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Look Up and Count the Red Crystals
Scan all four walls and the high ceiling for red glowing mineral clusters. Count every visible red node carefully (typically between 2 and 7).
Step 2: Count the Green and Purple Crystals
Repeat the count for the green crystal clusters, then do the same for the purple ones. Note down each total (e.g., Red: 4, Green: 3, Purple: 5).
Step 3: Dial the Pedestals to Match Your Count
Approach each pedestal. Click each pedestal to cycle its displayed number until it matches your color tally. When all three are correct, the pedestals lock with a confirmation chime.
- •Turn graphics settings up to at least level 4 if crystals appear dim on mobile devices.
- •Always count twice before dialing; miscounting by one crystal is the #1 cause of failure.
- Counting decorative light bulbs: Only count the sharp, angular colored crystal clusters.
- Assuming the count is identical to your previous run: numbers change every round.
