The Mutare Magnus puzzles in Honkai Star Rail are some of the more complicated puzzles at face value. However, once you get the hang of things, it gets infinitely easier since it all depends on pattern recognition and replication. Don’t worry if you find yourself stuck or are point-blank lazy to bother figuring it out, as we’ve got you covered!
Mutare Magnus Puzzle Location
First, you must have unlocked the Xianzhou Luofu planet and finished the Omniscient Inquiry of Arcana main questline. Once that’s done, make your way to the Divination Commission and talk to Huixing, a little girl who works there. She’ll take you to the puzzles for you to complete. The nearest Space Anchor would be the Conclave Hall Space Anchor.
In total, there are three puzzles for each day. After you’ve completed each puzzle, be sure to interact with Huixing to trigger the next one and get your rewards.
How To Solve the Mutare Magnus Puzzles
Once you trigger a puzzle, you must replicate the design shown with the different nodes scattered around you. You can pick up a node, walk over to another one and swap it out. Either that or place the node in an empty spot. Things can get trickier as you move along due to the intricacies of the designs.
Another thing is too many misplaced nodes will result in a mess that is trickier to solve. Be sure to reset the puzzle once you find yourself too confused. The puzzles take patience and precision to complete but will reward you handsomely once it’s done.
