Go to the Spire of the Stars
To reach the Spire of the Stars, take the road that’s outlined on the map in the north-east of Scholastone Institute, past the banquet hall. There you find a staircase leading up. Here’s the start of the path:
After the stairs you go through a cave.
Then keep following the stairs to the top. You will reach a big stone door you can interact with to enter Spire of the Stars.
Go to the top of the Spire of the Stars
After a cutscene you will be inside Spire of the Stars but the elevator doesn’t work. To power the elevator you must solve a puzzle.
Step 1: Grab the 3 small cubes
In the side rooms left and right of the elevator, use Palm Force (R3 / Right Stick) on the 3 yellow walls. They have a purple icon on the minimap. One is left of the elevator and two are right of the elevator.
After hitting the walls, they will reveal small cubes you can pick up.
Then insert all 3 cubes into the wall soekets in front of the elevator.
Step 2: Align the 4 Elevator Symbols
Hit the activated wall sockets with Palm Force (R3) to push them to the top. Now you must climb up to the symbols and hang onto them until they slide down to the correct position.
The correct positions are depicted on the walls in the side rooms.
Solution:
- Left Symbol = top slot
- 2nd from left Symbol = 2nd slot from top (3rd slot from bottom)
- 3rd from left Symbol = bottom slot
- Right Symbol = 3rd slot from top (2nd slot from bottom)
After the symbols are correctly aligned, they will stop glowing yellow, and the floor turns blue.
Then step on the elevator and it will activate and bring you to the top. Quickly step off at the top, as the elevator will automatically go down again immediately if you wait too long.
Move to the Abyss
Keep running upstairs and enter the Abyss on the top floor.
This finishes Spire of the Stars in Crimson Desert.
