Whether you're a veteran Trailblazer or just starting your journey, this comprehensive guide will help you navigate the universal matrix and claim all those sweet Stellar Jades waiting for you.

Golden Scapegoat Puzzles in Universal Matrix

The Golden Scapegoat puzzles represent some of the most intellectually stimulating challenges in HSR's universal matrix. There are four puzzles scattered throughout the Great Tomb of the Nameless Titan, each requiring specific movement patterns to solve.

"These puzzles really separate the casual players from the hardcore fans," as they say in gaming circles. Let's break down each one:

Golden Scapegoat Puzzle #1 (F2 Puzzle Room - Evernight)

Location: After teleporting to the Tranquil Tomb Gate Space Anchor, enter the room ahead and switch to Evernight mode. Look to the left of where the entrance used to be.

Solution: Input these commands in sequence:

• Left, Left, Right, Down, Right, Right, Left

When your past self appears, go left twice to press the yellow button so your past self falls down. Then immediately proceed toward the ladder since your past self will press the button for you, allowing you to cross safely for the next two moves. You can then go up the ladder and light the altar.

Golden Scapegoat Puzzle #2 (F1 West)

Location: Teleport to the Data Advection Sector: Entrance. Walk straight, turn right, then immediately left and follow the path until you reach the puzzle.

Solution: Input these commands in sequence:

• Left, Left, Left, Right, Right

When your past self appears, move toward the portal on the left. After teleporting, go right to fall onto the altar.

Golden Scapegoat Puzzle #3 (F1 East)

Location: Teleport to the Tidal Cooling Sector: Connection Point anchor. Follow the blue path straight ahead, turn left, and cross through the door. The puzzle will be on your right.

Solution: Input these commands in sequence:

• Left, Left, Right, Down, Right, Right, Right

When your past self appears, move left so your past self can cross, then move right as your past self presses the button simultaneously, allowing you to fall to the lower platform. Then move left, right, and all the way left toward the altar.

Golden Scapegoat Puzzle #4 (F1 East - Lower Level)

Location: From the same anchor point as Puzzle #3, follow the path on the right. After crossing the first platform, take a right turn to find an elevator. Go down and position the moving platform correctly to reach the puzzle.

Solution: Input these commands in sequence:

• Left, Left, Left, Right, Right, Right, Left, Right, Right

When your past self appears, go right to fall down, left, and then right again to fall onto the altar.

Hand of Zagreus Puzzles

The universal matrix in 2020 introduced the Hand of Zagreus mechanic, which remains crucial in 2025's version. There are two puzzles utilizing this mechanic in Floor 2 of the Universal Matrix.

For both puzzles, you'll need to:

1. Punch the memory stick on top of the northmost platform

2. Punch the memory stick on the south side of the platform

3. Punch the memory stick on the east side of the platform

After completing these steps, you'll need to match specific symbols for each puzzle:

Precious Chest Puzzle

Match the symbols on the cubes in F2 with those shown near the chest in F1:

• Upper Left: Reason

• Upper Right: Strife

• Lower Left: Death

• Lower Right: Trickery

Chirping Secret Puzzle

Match the symbols hinted by the Garmentmaker:

• Upper Left: Romance

• Upper Right: Strife

• Lower Left: Ocean

• Lower Right: Blank

Prophecy Tablet Puzzle

There's one Prophecy Tablet in the Universal Matrix Great Tomb located in the F2 puzzle room during Evernight. To solve it:

1. Place the diamond in the center

2. Place the triangle facing downward at the bottom of the diamond

3. Place the triangle facing up above the previous triangle

4. Align the bottom of the triangle facing left with the bottom of the outline

5. Align the bottom of the triangle facing right with the bottom of the outline

Collectibles in Universal Matrix

Coins of Whimsy

There are three Coins of Whimsy in the Universal Matrix Great Tomb:

1. Under the southmost platform, near the Cavern of Corrosion

2. On the upper left side of the middle platform, with the Data Advection Sector: Connection Point Space Anchor

3. On top of the northmost platform

Creation Nymphs

Ten Creation Nymphs can be found throughout the Universal Matrix Great Tomb. Some notable locations include:

• On the wall of the exit near the Tranquil Tomb Gate Space Anchor

• On the wall near the Tome of Miracles in the 3D puzzle room

• On the wall behind the three spinning shields in the sandy area (during Evernight)

• On the wall to the right of the door behind the Central Access Platform Space Anchor

"You haven't truly experienced the universal matrix until you've collected all ten nymphs," as veteran players like to say.

Rewards and Benefits

Completing all the puzzles in the universal matrix will reward you with substantial amounts of Stellar Jades, which remain as valuable in 2025 as they were in 2020's universal matrix era. Additionally, you'll receive various materials needed for character ascension and skill development.

With the recent addition of new 5-star characters like Evernight and Permansor Terrae, these resources have become even more crucial for players looking to maximize their team compositions.

Tips for Universal Matrix Navigation

1. Use the Space Anchors liberally to save time when moving between puzzle locations

2. Pay attention to the time of day (Dawn vs. Evernight) as some puzzles are only accessible during specific times

3. Take screenshots of puzzle solutions before attempting them to avoid frustration

4. "When in doubt, look up" - many collectibles are hidden on walls or ceilings

5. Don't forget to switch between characters with different exploration abilities to reach certain areas

Conclusion

The Universal Matrix in Honkai Star Rail continues to be one of the game's most engaging areas in 2025. With its intricate puzzles, hidden collectibles, and generous rewards, it's well worth the time investment for both new and returning players.

Remember, "The matrix isn't just about solving puzzles; it's about understanding the universe of HSR itself." So take your time, enjoy the journey, and may the stars guide your path through the universal matrix!
