Golden Scapegoat puzzles can be found throughout the world of Amphoreus introduced in Honkai: Star Rail 3.0. Recognisable as giant golden goat skulls glowing with a purple light as they float in mid-air, Golden Scapegoat puzzles are somewhat reminiscent of the Hexanexus puzzles back on the Xianzhou Luofu, complete with an obsessive local puzzle fan who won't stop texting you about them. Completing them nets you some nice rewards, including 20 Stellar Jade per puzzle solved.

Like many recurring puzzle elements in HSR, Golden Scapegoats aren't always especially tricky, but can appear a bit bewildering at first. That's why below we've outlined the general principles for solving Golden Scapegoat puzzles in Star Rail, as well as all 15 individual Honkai: Star Rail Golden Scapegoat puzzle solutions present in Version 3.0.

How to complete Golden Scapegoat puzzles in Honkai: Star Rail

All Golden Scapegoat puzzles in Star Rail follow a basic formula: your avatar inside the puzzle must navigate around a 2D environment in which they can step left, right, down (by falling or via ladders), or up (only via ladders). Their eventual goal is to set light to a brazier.

However, after a specified number of steps have been taken, a "dark" version of your character will emerge from the starting space and shadow the exact steps they have just taken. The two selves crossing paths will result in instant failure, as will falling off the puzzle platform onto the thorns below.

Luckily, if you do fail, you can restart as many times as you need.

But on the plus side, once your shadow self has copied the steps your character took before it was released, it will stop wherever it finds itself in that moment – meaning that, for example, it can be used to hold down a button that keeps a trapdoor closed for your character to traverse, or open a trapdoor to allow your character access to a lower platform.

And remember that your shadow self will copy your character's movements but is bound by the same physical rules as you are – so if trapdoors have opened or closed since you passed by, your eerie other self can end up taking a different route entirely. Naturally, this can also be key to solving the puzzle.

After completing your first Golden Scapegoat puzzle, you'll receive a text message from an Amphoreus local interested in your progress, much like with the Hexanexus puzzles on the Xianzhou Luofu. Reading this message adds the Golden Scapegoat adventure mission to your log, which tasks you with solving four more puzzles before reporting back.

Still stumped? You can read on below for step-by-step solutions for all the Golden Scapegoat puzzles we've found so far!

This Golden Scapegoat puzzle is actually found in the very first place you visit in Amphoreus: it's in the chamber where the Trailblazer and Dan Heng's car crashed at the start of the story.

To get back there, you need to take the winding right-hand path immediately upon being given the opportunity to explore Janusopolis when you return and unlock the area map later in the story. You'll go through several areas which require liberal use of Oron's Prayer to clear the path after the mess you made!
