However, it’s not that simple, as the goat’s shadow self will attack during the puzzle! Managing both your goat’s and the shadow’s movements will be crucial to winning!

In this guide, we’ll tell you where to find and how to solve every Golden Scapegoat puzzle in the “Eternal Holy City” Okhema area.

All Golden Scapegoat Puzzles in “Eternal Holy City” Okhema | Tutorial and Puzzle Basics

The “Eternal Holy City” Okhema area in Honkai: Star Rail has a total of 4 different Golden Scapegoat puzzles for you to find. But, before we dive into where to find and how to solve them, let’s go over the basics.

The Golden Scapegoat puzzles are represented in the overworld by golden goat head statues. Interact with them to initiate the puzzle.

When it comes to the puzzle itself, your goal is to move your Golden Scapegoat all the way to the altar to light it.

However, a shadow of yourself will appear after a set of moves. This shadow will repeat the pattern of moves you did before it appeared and then stand still.

For example, let’s say that you have 4 moves before the shadow appears and you right, right, left, left. The shadow will appear after the second time you move left and then repeat the pattern. After that, it will stay still. Avoid colliding with your shadow or it will restart the puzzle!

Sometimes, you might need to step on colored pressure plates known as Ancient Crystalline Controllers. These will help you reach the altar. A lot of the puzzles will also require you to set up your movements so that your shadow self stands on the plate to open the path for you.

With those basics laid down, let’s now go over finding and solving every single Golden Scapegoat puzzle in this area!

Northern Okhema – Golden Scapegoat Puzzle #1

You can find our first Golden Scapegoat puzzle here in the northern part of the Northeastern Section of Okhema, F1. It’s inside of the room that looks like a jigsaw piece.

For this one, you have 4 moves before your shadow self appears. These 4 moves should be as follows: right, left, right, right.

Once the shadow appears and starts following the pattern, go to the right to avoid it. The shadow self will finish the pattern on the golden plate, raising the platform toward the altar.

With that done, you just need to continue to the right to reach the altar and you’re done!

Northern Okhema – Golden Scapegoat Puzzle #2

For our second puzzle, go to the southwestern quarter in the Northeastern Section of Okhema, F1. You should find the puzzle by the stairs there.

This time, you get 5 moves before the shadow self appears. However, you really don’t need to think much for this one! Simply move all the way to the right toward the altar.

Your shadow self will appear right when you reach the gap in front of the altar and step on the plate. This will move the golden platform, allowing you to cross the gap and finish this extremely simple puzzle.

Northern Okhema – Golden Scapegoat Puzzle #3

This puzzle is also in the Northeastern Section of Okhema, F1. This time, go to the southeastern corner of the map to find it near the Strange Crystal.

You only get 2 steps before your shadow self appears this time. Simply go right twice and step on the plate.

Once your shadow self appears, go to the right two more times. The shadow will step on the plate and stop, removing the golden platform you just crossed.

Now, just move to the left once to fall through the gap and reach the altar.

The last of all the Golden Scapegoat puzzles we’ll do in the “Eternal Holy City” Okhema area in Honkai: Star Rail. Funnily enough, this is also the only one in the Southern Quarter of the city. Go to the westernmost part of F1 to find it.
