The universe of Honkai: Star Rail is teeming with treasures, many of which are concealed behind intricate puzzles or guarded by formidable foes. Among these treasures are the elusive Golden Scapegoats, unique floating ram heads located within the Amphoreus region introduced in the 3.0 update. Players can uncover these scapegoats in four out of five distinct areas of Amphoreus, leading to valuable rewards, including critical crafting materials and premium currency.
As you navigate through the Amphoreus campaign, you will encounter various divisions, ranging from the sacred Eternal Holy City of Okhema to the depths of the Abyss of Fate Janusopolis. It’s worth noting that the Vortex of Genesis is the sole area devoid of Golden Scapegoats, highlighting the richness of the other locations.
Solving Golden Scapegoat Puzzles in Eternal Holy City Okhema
Guide Your Shadow Self
The structure of the Golden Scapegoat puzzles is consistent across Amphoreus. Starting with those in the Holy City Okhema is advisable due to their relative simplicity compared to puzzles found in other locales. By interacting with a Golden Scapegoat, players are transported to a puzzle where they must use a glowing flame carried by a golden ram to illuminate an altar within the area.
Upon your first engagement with a Golden Scapegoat, a tutorial will clarify the mechanics: you must navigate the puzzle while your movements are mirrored by a shadow doppelgänger, which tracks your route a predetermined number of steps.
To find Golden Scapegoats, look for the puzzle icon on your map. Although not every puzzle in an area qualifies as a Golden Scapegoat, solving them all can lead to lucrative rewards such as Stellar Jade.
Your strategy should include activating buttons, referred to as Ancient Crystalline Controllers, to raise bridges and open paths towards the altar. Successfully reaching the altar without coming into contact with your shadow is crucial. After your shadow completes its designated steps, it will halt, allowing you to navigate freely to finish the puzzle.
Understanding the number of moves required for your shadow at the puzzle’s outset is key to positioning it correctly. Below is a comprehensive table detailing the location and solution steps for each Holy City Okhema Golden Scapegoat:
