There are some tricky activities in Stellar Blade. One of these is a side quest that has you looking for the correct code in the city of Xion. Here’s our guide on how to solve the Lost Ark puzzle in Stellar Blade.
How to solve the Lost Ark puzzle in Stellar Blade
The Stellar Blade Lost Ark puzzle is actually part of its own side quest. It comes from Mann, who can be found in the Presence Chamber. This quest became available for us after we finished the main objectives in the Altess Levoire in the Wasteland. Still, we’re unable to confirm if there are other side quests that are also prerequisites.
Lost Ark: Mission start and hideout clue
Anyway, Mann wants you to investigate a renegade group, which happens to have a hideout in Xion. Go to the marked location and investigate the corpse. You’re then directed to the end of the alleyway in the northern part of the city. Upon going there, you’ll realize that you can’t access the terminal unless you have a code.
Pick up the data slate next to the terminal. You should see this clue: “Turn Xion, turn clockwise!”
Terminal locations and map
The clue pertains to six wall terminals scattered around Xion. If you interact with these, a symbol will flash repeatedly. Above, you’ll see a map that shows the location of all the terminals needed for the Lost Ark puzzle in Stellar Blade.
Terminal #1
Just a few feet away from the hideout/main terminal.
Terminal #2
On the wall across from one of the payphones.
Terminal #3
In the alleyway just past Roxanne’s shop.
Terminal #4
Next to a vending machine near the small library.
Terminal #5
Along the steps leading to Kaya and the Sisters Junk shop.
Terminal #6
Next to the cafe in the town square.
Ark-Tech terminal solution
Upon interacting with all six terminals and revealing their symbols, you may now input the passcode for the hideout. But, let’s go back to the clue: “Turn Xion, turn clockwise!”
This means that the symbols need to be keyed in a specific order: clockwise from the hideout terminal, ending at the one next to the market stall. The solution is shown in the image above.
Escaping the Ark
Enter the hideout and inspect the three slain individuals. Then, check the terminal in one of the side rooms. This causes the alarm to blare and the doors to close.
The goal now is to escape the hideout. You can do this by destroying the three terminals in the facility. Once you’re back topside, return to Mann to complete the quest. Your efforts net you the following rewards: 2x Shock Grenade, 2x Smart Mine, and 2x Pulse Grenade.
This is how you solve the Lost Ark puzzle in Stellar Blade. If you’re keen on trying out the other brain teasers in the city, we suggest looking at our Xion math puzzles guide.
